Heading the bill is Rotifer, who played at our Oxjam benefit back in 2012 and released one of our favourite albums of 2013. Joining them on stage will be Gare Du Nord records lablemates Papernut Cambridge and Ralegh Long, both of whom are firm favourites on this website. Completing the bill is the soon to be legendary Five Thieves who will be debuting songs from their forthcoming album at the gig.
Rotifer
Robert Rotifer was born in 1969 in Vienna, Austria, played in various local bands since the mid-eighties and dropped out of University to become a full-time music journalist in 1992. He made an album with his band The Electric Eels (no relation to the legendary punk band of the same name) in 1995, and in the same year became one of the co-founders of Radio FM4, an alternative young music station that turned out to be hugely influential in Austrian pop culture.
Playing as Rotifer, a band that now features Ian Button on drums and Mike Stone on bass, he has released seven albums. the most recent of these, The Cavalry Never Showed Up, may well be the best of his career.

Papernut Cambridge
Ian Button plays drums in Rotifer and his many other credits include Thrashing Doves, Death In Vegas and Go Kart Mozart. Papernut Cambridge is the band name he operates under with a rotating cast of supporting musicians. Their debut album was a pretty unique record and the excellent 5D-EP followed this year.
“Papernut Cambridge the name of a band I dreamed about once. They were playing a gig with another band called Elvis Breakdown… this is the first actual incarnation of them in the real world.”
