More about: UglyTalk ShowThe Close Encounter Club
With our friends at The Close Encounter Club
As the well known saying goes, another week, another intergalactic space transmission from Gigwise and their friends at The Close Encounter Club. This week we welcome Talk Show and Ugly, following on from last week’s broadcast with Willie J Healey and Blackaby.
Tune in from 9pm (BST) below to catch all of the action.
Warming up the crowd is London-via-Cambridge six-piece Ugly. When asked how they would describe their band to aliens they say: “A combination of Morse code, whiteboard diagrams and party games.”
Following swiftly after is Talk Show. Speaking about their experience at The Close Encounter Club they say: “It was actually class, its such a cool space and having been so long since we’d all played together too made it even more special. So yeah cheers for having us!”
And have the band had any close encounters their own? “I don’t know if it was extraterrestrial but when I was a kid, Prince Charles visited my school and I shook his reptile hand. I’m not saying the Royal Family are aliens, but I doubt you can you prove otherwise... Myself (George) and Tom had a weird experience in Brighton last May too, again I can’t prove anything but you know when you just get that feeling.”
When presented with the task of explaining their band to aliens Talk Show offer: “Oooh, tough I mean are we talking like your cutesy area 51 green humanoid’s or is it worth giving Sigourney a buzz? I don’t know, it's a collection of four down-and-out humans who seem to get some sort of satisfaction in creating an unhealthy and confusing amount of noise while bearing their teeth and flapping their limbs.”
Tune in tonight from 9pm (BST) to catch Ugly and Talk Show Live In Orbit. Whilst you’re waiting for lift off though, check out these behind the scenes snaps from our photographer Katie Willoughby and catch up with Willie J Healey/Blackaby here and Porridge Radio/Mysie here.
