York based record label Bad Paintings put on an awesome night of music last Saturday showcasing some local acts as listed above and the incredible Rats on Rafts.

Hailing from Holland, Rats on Rafts are perhaps one of my favourite new bands, intensely dark post punk mixed with a Franz Ferdinand feel. Infectious melody and commanding rhythms they blew the roof off and had the crowd pulling shapes whilst asking each other “who the fuck are these guys?”

Coming next from Bad Paintings is Ed Schrader’s music beat followed by Iceage. It just keeps getting better in York...
