Incendiary! featuring PRETYMAN and ALTERMODERNS at Spice of Life Soho

Incendiary! weekly nights offer the very best of hot acts on the UK circuit in the belly of Soho London. Every Thursday. Cheers.

Doors 7pm. Support band 8pm. Headline band 9pm.

Tickets £6 (plus online booking fee) or on the door if available.

Headlined by PRETYMAN. Pretyman is Cam, Lavin, Dan, Stan and two Alexes (for the price of one) and absolutely zero regard for volume limits. Born somewhere between a kebab shop argument and a dodgy night bus ride, to scream, sweat and strum like their overdrafts depend on it. Post-punk with the energy of a lad who's just lost his vape.

Support from ALTERMODERNS. Altermoderns is the Brazilian duo Ananda Kuhn (drums) and Glauco Caruso (guitar) who are currently based in London, who play a raw, rough, and stripped down form of garage rock that has one foot in old school rock'n roll, and another in the earlier phases of punk. It is energetic and lively music that feels lo-fi. The duo plays locked in and with a clear sense of how to navigate the field without getting caught up in a frenetic pace. Caruso does quite a bit of heavy lifting on his guitar as he handles rhythm and lead functions without skipping a beat, while Kuhn plays standing up, Mo Tucker style. Their songs also tend to have a sometimes overt political layer to them, with vocals delivered in a punk affectation and a touch of crowd singing effect.

Their first album released in 2021 named "Side Effects of Reality" received positive reviews on specific music editorials as such as Shindig! Magazine, Louder Than War website, and A&R Factory. Also have met with radio play including RadioLux (album of the year), Dandelion Radio (Festive 50) WFMU (New York,USA) KDCR (California, USA), Raving Pop Blast!, RockRadioUK, DinAmicoFM (Brazil) Evolrock Radio (Bogotá, Colombia)

Altermoderns write songs that weave the personal with the geo-political in what they call 'docu-fictional narratives', songs about how communication, travel and migration affect a way of life.

They are not shy about wearing their love of The Sonics, Clash and Bo Diddley as a badge of honour.
