Live Music 2025 – Brighton Tattoo Convention

Live Music on the Main Stage 2025

Creature Creature – Sat 4pm & Sun 3pm

Brighton’s Creature Creature, an alt-rock/punk force, emerged with a fervor to shake up the music scene. Comprised of Scully (lyrics/vocals), Zeus (guitar), Seb Cole (keyboard/backing vocals), Dave Cobley (bass), and Matt Hill (drums), they debuted with Two Finger Tantrum in 2020. Despite a pandemic-induced setback, they’ve shown remarkable resilience, channeling their energy into their upcoming Tommy Gleeson produced EP, “The Noise,” born of a collaboration with Billy Lunn. Renowned for a dynamic sound that draws from diverse influences like Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes to Royal Blood, their music is a rich tapestry of modern beats and old-school rock. Notably, Creature Creature’s affinity for cinema permeates their work, with tracks like “Video Nasty” and “No Time To Die”. Lauded for their captivating live performances, they are poised for a resurgence, their narrative marked by perseverance, innovation and a compelling fusion of music with undying resolve.

The Bitter Lemons: Sat 7pm

Hailing from the UK’s second city, The Bitter Lemons serve up a sharp blend of neo-rockabilly grit, garage trash swagger, and surf-soaked instrumentals. Picture Janis Martin sparring with The Cramps, topped off with a twist of Heavy Trash and Shannon & The Clams. Original tunes with a wild edge—familiar, fresh, and unapologetically bold.

The Mandelbrot Shakes: Sat 8pm & Sun 4pm

Garage trash punk duo The Mandelbrot Shakes formed in 2020. They have toured Europe and released album Shake It! on Leadmine records in 2022. This was followed by the garage modern classic ‘Searching’ in early 2024.

Fierce vocals, Neanderthal drumming and addictive guitar riffs are the foundations for all their two min songs.

“The way they bring together those complementing styles immediately aligns them with some great company as they manage, especially on songs like Your Love, to recall The Cramps, The Detroit Cobras, early-Black Keys and Wanda Jackson all in one. Throw in some Gories, Stray Cats and Bo Diddley and it’s a pure delight to hear, one you can be sure will cause riots in the venues.” Louder than War

The McCurdy Brothers: Sat 9pm

Red hot Bluesabilly duo from Norwich UK with an energetic in your face sound!
