Gappy Tooth Industries present…

Red Valve: Not a band who go much for useful info online, we’ll admit, so the only reason to click on the link below is to hear a big slab of greasy rock garnished with querulous new wave vocals. And who doesn’t? We like any band who record the guitar on their album through a little karaoke machine “with all the dials turned up”, but we like them even more when they have a good sense of a cheeky, oddly-shaped rock tune and a fuzzy keyboard noise. www.myspace.com/redvalve

One Man Team Dance: Oxford goth-metal-noise legend Umair Chaudry has graced the GTI stage before, and he also pops up as producer for Wycombe duo One Man Team Dance. OK, that’s probably all the recommendation you need that their Casio and drum assault is heavy, humorous and deftly performed, but to elucidate further they describe their music as “somewhere between Mates of State, Hella and Lightning Bolt (ish)”. It’s actually a little lighter than this implies though, with a skipping funky sense of rhythm underpinning the doomy buzz of the synth. This is a great band for anyone who’s missing Oxford promoters Vacuous Pop and Poor Girl Noise. Plus we like any band that has a video of them feeding people cheese and playing music in a toilet on their website. www.onemanteamdance.blogspot.co.uk

Lewis Newcombe: We start the evening with something more subtle from Lewis Newcombe, who started off busking, and has developed into a purveyor of lovely, Bert Janschesque balladry. If the thought of elegant melodic folk influences such as John Renbourn, Simon and Garfunkel, John Martyn, Eva Cassidy, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and Roy Harper don’t get you in the mood for a relaxed opener, then we frankly despair of you. soundcloud.com/lewisnewcombe-jones
