The Big Cheese Co. 🧀 are KICKING AGAINST NOTHING @ THE NAG'S ROCHESTER
FREE ENTRY
🚪 8PM

"Kent's finest play Rochester's most notorious"

FEAT.
👹Strangeways - hot off the release of their blistering single 'The Pond', Strangeways pair theatrical showmanship and sharp dress sense with thrashing and muscular rock n' roll with pinpoint lyrics.

🏇🏻Rhino Tranq - hailing from mid-west Kent, Rhino Tranq are a young indie band playing what they call 'next wave'. Playing an unassailably fun and nostalgic brand indie rock which constantly treads the line between being danceble and moshable.

🌤️County Lines - County Lines, informed by the Medway Towns, are a four-piece Rhythm and Blues infused Art Punk band formed in 2022. A product of art school, County Lines use avant garde reference of Britain, its youth culture and mythology.

Should be a HUGE night -- see you all there!

Thanks to Molly from the Nag's for hosting us once again!

🏳️‍🌈: This is an LGBTQIA+ friendly event!

A poem, 'Cheese inKANtation':

In the garden on the Three Sheets pub there are auras of green and spirits of blue.
There lays a faun with strange pipes and great horns,
and a thruple sheeted ship which sails on the stones there too!
They gather round to hear sounds, some esoteric and some wild.
Scaring the regulars, mayhaps, but rendering the Medway marginals beguiled!
Come some, come many, hear the electro-wizards songs.
No the songs don't have names, and yes they're all quite long!

Rising up from the murk and mystery of Medway's soil, The Oast, a tall dark stranger. A recluse, cradled in the grit and grime of Rainham town, with a stony gaze and a story to tell: "Ain't no room for a farmhouse in this [semi-rural] city boyo", says the sentient 16th century farmer building.

Our promotional debut at The Oast will feature the upstart ashtray auteurs,

Thee Who (Thee Mongrels)
[Cigarillo smokers for sure]

County Lines
