A band we have been desperate to put on for some time but we are finally very happy to announce that France will grave the Lubber!
As a band France is a very simple premise - motorik drums, driving bass and hurdy gurdy. A sort of re-imagined power rock trio with some of that French folk magic thats floating around in the current French underground - and yet this is so much more. A roiling, grinding, driving, ecstatic music that moves higher and higher and whips up more and more into a fever pitch. As the hurdy gurdy cranks round wilder and faster each time the music is just more and more, exploding and monolithic, never over the top or cinematic - just onward and onward. Heads down for this one - lock in and space out. Anyone who has caught the recent Water Damage sets at Lubber or enjoys locals Smote should book in for this one. A total cult band - justified in its status in every way.

Support comes in the form of Bong II, with members of the aforementioned Smote and of course from Bong (I). Droning ritual doom metal of the highest order.
