Local band Hold Fast who headlined WASTER last week have an upcoming gig next Thursday 14th in that big town London. Influenced by PJ Harvey, Depeche Mode and Joy Division, HOLD FAST have set elegantly sung lyrics against dark and furious alternative pop, and in 2008 readers of the Portsmouth News voted HOLD FAST “Best Rock Pop Band”

There is a 16 seater minibus leaveing Outram Road opposite the One Eyed Dog pub at 6.00. If you want to pop along then it’s £10 for the bus and ticket. For more info contact roland@artchroma.com or hold_fast@hotmail.co.uk
