This event is all ages

The Big Pink may take their name from the Band's debut album but there is nothing rootsy or remotely Dylanesque about this London duo's music. In fact, their roots reach back only as far as the late-80s and early-90s, to the days when Madchester-era baggy disco and Thames Valley shoe-gazing ruled the waves and waived the rules with regard to fusing drone-rock and dance rhythms. There are elements of Spacemen 3 and Spiritualised's trance gospel on their debut single Too Young to Love, of My Bloody Valentine's brief foray into nightclub territory on their Andy Weatherall-remixed epic of noise-dance, Soon, even of Happy Mondays' "religious" rhythmic rock classic, Hallelujah. Some have suggested this might have been a direction that the Stone Roses could have pursued after their debut instead of the bombastic riff-rock of The Second Coming.
