Doors are 8PM and tax is £4. Be sure and make it down, it's gonna be a belter!
Filthpact is Alive, Long Live Filthpact!
Happy new year to all our friends, we have good news to announce in that Filthpact have stabilised a new lineup with good friend of the band Bazz replacing Ben on guitar. Some of you may have met Bazz when he was filling in on Bass for us last summer whilst Al B was offshore.
Bens replacement comes as he will return to Australia next month and we wish him all the best and thank him for the dedication and time he gave to the band.
Future plans for the band have yet to be decided but its safe to say we'll be out and about as usual this year, hopefully travelling to new countries and crowds. We've a split LP in the pipeline with Atomgevitter which should be out by spring time and we'll hopefully be playing live again from April onwards if not before.
