We are delighted to announce that we have booked ANUBIS to play at the Pandemonium Club in Maidstone on Saturday May 7th.
This is a rare small venue appearance for Anubis who have tended to concentrate on festivals in the past. Needless to say, we are very chuffed to have booked them and is the first step in trying to bring bigger and better bands to Maidstone.

Anubis boast Simon Lees who won Guitarist Magazine's "Guitarist of the Year" competition in 1998 having been runner up in 1993, 1994 & 1995. During the 1990s this was Europe's most prestigious guitar players competition with the finals held at Wembley Exhibition Centre in London."
So if you like fine guitaring then come along. And please visit their Myspace site and have a listen to The Pharoah in particular. It is genius guitaring.
Main support comes from Crux, from South Wales, and this will be their second visit to P Club. They play a powerful Queensryche-esque style of metal and they went down a storm when they played here before. We think that Crux will be the perfect match for Anubis and we are very much looking forward to this night of more thoughtful metal.

The gig will be held at Babylon Live Lounge, 15-17 King Street, Maidstone. We have 1 more band to confirm and it'll be a fantastic night.
We have got the booze down to £2.80 a pint (from £3.50) including bottled ALES
and can open the upstairs bar early so people can sit and watch the monitors as the bands set up and sound check. There is lots of space upstairs, lots of comfy chairs, a big bar, a cloakroom (£1 an item). The license is until 5am if people REALLY want to cane it until the early hours.
The bus station is 2 minutes away (if you crawl......backwards!!), taxis go from about 15 yards away, trains are 10 minute walk to either Maidstone East or Maidstone West. Food might well be available at the venue early on but if not all the eateries are within a 10 minute walk.
We have one of the finest, if not THE finest kebab shop in the UK (Attila's, the very first Turkish restaurant in England, 2 fantastic Chinese restaurants, numerous good quality Indian restaurants, a decent steak house (Flaming Henry's) and pubs all over the show (a couple of which are stupidly old and one of which supports P Club and is what passes for a metal pub around these parts. It's older than America and serves really good beer at really decent prices. Shame about the dodgy name really - Ye Olde Thirsty Pig. It's in Knightrider Street and is well worth a wander that way for a pint or more (5 mins from the venue).
