(Fri 17th Feb / 8pm / £7 advance, £9 on the door)

Brooklyn's High Places craft organic, glitchy avant-pop from shakers and rattles, bells, kalimbas and found sounds. There's a distinctly exotic tinge to their electronica, with African rhythms rubbing up against dreamlike underwater beats. They have released two albums on Thrill Jockey -- their self-titled début in 2008, and 2011's Original Colors -- and have won acclaim from bands like Yeasayer and Dirty Projectors.

The Hysterical Injury are a brother-sister combo who use bass, drums and voice. Think Lightning Bolt, Sleater-Kinney, Sonic Youth. They're the noise rock Carpenters, and they're touring their début album Dead Wolf Situation, out on Crystal Fuzz in February.

Hesomagari are the Bristol duo of Yoshino Shigihara (Zun Zun Egui) and SJ Esau. They make blissful experimental psychedelic music with keyboards, electronics and their voices.

Cube DJs playing boy-girl duos in the bar all night.
