Sneaky Pete's

The Bonnevilles are a no-frills guitar-and-drums two-piece from Northern Ireland who play hard-hitting roots music they call “garage punk blues.” Formed in Lurgan and Banbridge in 2009, the Bonnevilles feature guitarist and singer Andrew McGibbon, Jr. and drummer Chris McMullan. McGibbon was a blues fan whose take on the genre was turned upside down by R.L. Burnside’s raucous collaboration with the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Ass Pocket of Whiskey. After checking out like-minded acts like the Immortal Lee County Killers and the Soledad Brothers, McGibbon decided to start doing some blues wailing of his own. Teaming up with McMullan, the group began playing out and in 2010 released their debut album, Good Suits and Fightin’ Boots. As the band toured in support, both McGibbon and McMullan struggled with the death of a parent, which informed the duo’s second LP, 2012’s Folk Art and the Death of Electric Jesus. As the Bonnevilles continued to tour the U.K. and Europe, they shared stages with the likes of Bob Log III, the Black Diamond Heavies, T-Model Ford, and Kid Congo Powers. In 2014, the band documented its powerful live show with the album Tape Saturation Overdrive: Live in Belfast.

Postal is our weekly Sunday session with cheap tickets for the hottest names in underground dance, and our pick of Scotland’s finest selectors.

Since their formation during the 2020 pandemic, West Lothian band, The Katuns, have accumulated a high accolade of attention, surprising listeners with their catchy riffs and high-energy choruses. Their songs have already received features from the likes of Phoebe I-H on BBC Introducing Scotland, as well as previous playlist additions on Spotify’s New Music Friday UK, Fresh Finds Rock and Fresh Finds UK & IE playlists.

Taking to the stage, the four-piece have supported artists Vistas and Dylan John Thomas at renowned venues across Scotland, including the famous Barrowland Ballroom. Before officially forming, the band also played a support slot for the popular Wigan indie band, The Lathums, in February 2020. They have also made a sold-out headliner at Sneaky Pete’s and a packed show at The Mash House, both venues residing in Edinburgh.

The Katuns have also started to make their name at UK festivals, bagging a slot on the This Feeling stage at the Isle of Wight Festival in 2021 as well as an evening slot at Glasgow’s Tenement Trail Festival in 2022. The Katuns have recently released their new single Disguise which they have brought to the stage since their live debut, it takes influence from early indie rock bands such as Arctic Monkeys and Nirvana.

Four hours of maximum fun! Two EHFM stalwarts panooc and Rosehips meet behind the booth for the first time, but both truly know how to throw a party.

Scottish-via-NYC producer/DJ panooc has been a cherished member of the EHFM family for some time now, and she has released on Sorry Records, .WAVCAVE Good Company Records and Audiophile Records, as well as being a central part of the incredibly busy New York queer collective XOXA.

You will have heard Rosehips holding down Monday mornings for us with her infectious energy and weekend scene reports, and she’s as much fun in the booth! The former Subcity Radio manager is also in a turbo band called Town Centre, which makes cosmic, synth-laden pop bangers, exactly the kind of music you’ll hear from her at Sneaky’s.

“Chrissy is one of the best DJs to ever walk the earth and I am just going to keep saying it until everyone agrees with me.” — The Blessed Madonna

Chicago mainstay Chrissy makes a very welcome return to the club at Edinburgh Disco Lovers!

Chrissy’s truly one of the most versatile and knowledgeable DJs out there, the living embodiment of a DJ’s DJ. His sets often centre on Chicago house, disco and rave music but his multi-decade career has ranged from jungle to footwork to freestyle. This unique form of story-telling has seen him invited to play vital spaces like Panorama Bar, Chicago’s Smartbar (where he held a residency from 2015 to 2018), and San Francisco’s oldest and most storied queer club, The Stud.

Also known as a well-regarded voice on dance music history, he wrote the liner notes for the definitive Hardcore Traxx: Dance Mania Records 1986-1997 and has written on dance music history, queer history and advice for young musicians in Mixmag, Beatportal, DJ Mag, Red Bull Music Academy, XLR8R, and Electronic Beats.

Straight up fun party music incoming!
