Cactus & Cardigan at YnotThumbnail for article : Cactus & Cardigan at Ynot
Cactus & Cardigan are a local bunch of guys from Thurso who have been described by Music News Scotland as "bizarre lyrics, pounding percussion and dextrous guitar work" As they class themselves as 'Noise Rock' it's not very surprising to find that they WANT TO SEE AT LEAST 6 MOSH CONGA'S according to their Facebook page! Also providing a DJ set to the very end - promises to be anything but a 'quite night'! Support is supplied by the Alternative Rock 3-piece from Central Scotland, Emilio Largo - The last visit was a phenomenal success when supporting 'Flood of Red', so great to see them back.   www.facebook.com/YNOTTHURSO?fref=ts.
