Shizznigh Promotions presents... 'Shizz Fest' 2014

The good folk over at Shizzneigh Promotions have announced their line-up for the first annual 'Shizz Fest' gig night for this year. Playing host is possibly Belfast's best indie venue, The Limelight , and in an unusual act of exciting celebration, no less than eight bands have been chosen for the line-up.

Here's Encore NI's personal picks of the bunch...

Get down early for fast rising indie starlets In An Instant, who'll open the show. Doubtlessly still in top form after the release of debut EP 'Light You Know And Love', this is a band on their way to the coveted headline slot.

Key Song(s) - 'Something Right And Something Real', 'Lovers Apart', 'Keep On Moving With Your Heart In Place'

Following them come another band from Belfast's mod-revivalist scene, The Sun Shadows. Also riding the wave of publicity after a successful EP launch, expect a typically melodic performance from the 60's enthusiasts, with plenty of Liam Gallagher swagger to boot.

Key Song(s) - 'See The Stars', 'Before Your Eyes'

Adopting a punkier persona than the steadfast indie of singles gone by, it looks like a new era for Lisburn's The Couth. Gigging more than ever before and with an ever growing fan base, you'd be crazy to miss this band who've always been at the forefront of the local scene's fashion, style and riot inducing anthems.

Key Song(s) - 'Cycles', 'BloodBreaker'

In any local line-up's these days, it's almost impossible to ignore The Late Twos. With an explosive, watertight set of old and new gems and one of the countries most natural performers in front man Matty Legge, The Late Twos are a band not to be missed.
