the band post animal

Post Animal head to Ventnor Fringe all the way from Chicago

The Ventnor Fringe Festival is in full swing and has seen some brilliant acts perform over the last three days.

Tonight (Friday) see Harbourside welcome Post Animal, all the way from Chicago.

Think Tame Impala meets King Gizzard in a gig you don’t want to miss! 

Travelling to Ventnor Fringe as part of their first ever European tour, Post Animal are a band of brothers and the next great band to come out of Chicago.
 
Though they formed in 2014 and just began touring in 2017, their affinity for slick riffs, pop hooks, and psychedelic tendencies join them in a bond much tighter than their years suggest. Initially formed when childhood friends, bassist Dalton Allison and guitarist Matt Williams, met keyboardist and guitarist Jake Hirshland, the band’s sound began to take shape when the three enlisted some more pals from both the Chicago music scene and through their time working at local burger joints. Rounding out the band’s lineup, Post Animal is completed by drummer Wesley Toledo and guitarists Javi Reyes and Joe Keery.

Where and when
The gig takes place at Harbourside, Ventnor. Doors open 7pm. DJs follow from 9pm until late.

Tickets are £10 – book now to secure your tickets, or buy on the door (cash only).

So “project fear” turns out to be “project reality”.

Who’d have thought?

Successful is a bit like beauty, it is in the eye of the beholder. For some, the hard BRexiteers, then any divorce from the EU no matter how catastrophic for our economy or how damaging to the integrity of the UK would be regarded as a success. For me, the words success and BRexit can never and will never belong in the same sentence. No matter how… Read more »

Vix is absolutely right. The Conservatives are now dependent on the DUP for support in the Commons. How can we allow the lack of Conservative majority to bring Brexit decision-making to this reactionary party from Northern Ireland ? If NI gets a special deal then Scotland wants one too. It may soon be time to take to the streets !

Shocking, isn’t it? May calls a General Election expecting a landslide victory but, instead, ends up losing her majority and having to find the Magical Mythical Money Tree to buy support from the DUP. The DUP who now, having taken the money, are holding the whole of the UK and Ireland to ransom. 10 people, with terrorist supporters and evolution deniers amongst their number, holding 70 million… Read more »

I live both on the Island and on the mainland. It was apparent to me during the referendum that people on the Island did not realise what help the EU has given over the years. For example, Ventnor Haven and a number of other projects in South Wight. Much of the comment on here shows frustration of how the UK government overlooks Island needs. Yet the Island… Read more »

It is a mess. I understand the DUP’s position. I do not want the United Kingdom allied in any way with the ROI unless southern Ireland decided it is in their best interests to join the UK and come under our sovereignty. Walk away now Mrs May and set our own trade deals on WTO terms. The EU is a bully. Do you really want to us… Read more »

Because the UK government repeatedly shows it can be trusted more than the EU, doesn’t it?

To my mind it is the BRexiteers that are the bullies, as they are trying to railroad through massive constitutional changes that were never on the referendum ballot, based on the results of a totally discredited campaign by Leave.

The referendum question was purely whether we should leave the EU, or not. Nothing more, nothing less.

The leave campaign actively promoted the idea that the UK could remain in the Customs Union or Single Market post Brexit. The whole “No deal is better than a bad deal” and “leave means leave” thing came *after* the referendum, largely engineered by Theresa May for her own political advantage.

Speaking of whether the EU or the UK Government has the best interests of UK citizens at heart…..

Scary, isn’t it? Post Brexit the UK Gov will be able to do that sort of thing as much as it likes.

I can’t see much prospect of our current government surviving through to next spring, let alone April 2019 to see the BRexit process through to completion. The conservative party is deeply split on the issue and struggling to maintain balance and direction. Theresa May has little authority, Damian Green’s position looks increasingly untenable and the Confidence and Supply agreement with the DUP hangs in the balance. Morgan… Read more »

Do you not think Labour is split on the EU too? Who knows what Corbyn’s view is from one day to the next. Labour heartlands voted out. Only one part of England voted to stay and that is London, hardly representative of England or Great Britain for that matter. Even the south-west voted leave despite territories like Gibraltar included in their votes keen on staying in. Why… Read more »

Do you think Farage and UKIP *wouldn’t* be calling for a second referendum if they had lost?

The DUP campaigned for a hard Brexit but their constituents voted Remain. Now they don’t want the inevitable consequences of a hard Brexit – & apparently they were the only people in Northern Ireland not to see it. These people are unbelievably stupid even for bonkers right-wing religious nut jobs. Who would have thought Brexit would have been so complicated? Who knew? (Actually I did – on… Read more »

It isn’t just the DUP who want a hard BRexit, both the Tory hard-right and Labour hard-left have also campaigned for a hard BRexit. Both the Tory and Labour parties under May and Corbyn imposed a 3 line whip to ensure a hard BRexit direction was followed.

What we need is for the moderate centre to unite to overturn this folly.

No, but it is the 10 DUP MP’s who are putting a spanner in the works. 10 people, who don’t even have the support of their own constituents in this, holding the whole of the UK and Ireland to ransom.
