+ COLLIDES IN ARC

Special guests for the night are S*M*A*S*H. If you're thinking 'who?' then they were one of the greatest bands of the '90s who arrived at completely the wrong time!
They caused an uproar in the NME, Melody Maker and the like with front cover spreads, amazing gig reviews, Singles of the Week and more.
They were an adrenaline fuelled mix of anger, energy, righteous indignation, politics, DIY punk empowerment and star jumps, all choreographed to some of the finest songs you’ll ever hear.
They played hundreds of gigs to thousands of normally overlooked punters, produced fanzines, badges and fantastic cheap sloganeering T-shirts by the bucket load as well as appearing on Top of the Pops - they could have been one of the biggest bands of our time.
They were virtually self-banned by their dogged refusal to play the game; S*M*A*S*H were far too real for a nation being spoon-fed Blur, Suede and Oasis. Well now they’re back, the original line up, with a mix of classics and new songs.
They last played here in 1994 – it really was one of the best and most chaotic gigs at The Forum ever!

Doors are at 7:00pm with the first act on early!
S*M*A*S*H will now headline with a decent length set and the evening should finish in good time for trains etc. for all those people coming from far away.
By the way folks, last week someone flew 7,000 miles to see S*M*A*S*H play in Brighton (seriously!) so come on people, make the effort and come down for what should be a fun night. We won't be doing another big show like this until Christmas!
