Portions presents:
FANG ISLAND
+ support
@ The Cluny 2, Byker
Monday September 6th
Fang Island is an incredibly explosive, heavily caffeinated, monster. One likely to seize, besiege, and overpower your senses in a pink/purple spray of Diesel ( does anyone still drink that?) vomit strewn with chunks of riffs, soloing and vocal harmony…yawned straight from the party mouth of Andrew WK.
This is what happiness sounds like!

Now for some quotes:
“l like some crazy jam session between Fairport Convention and Faith No More, or between the Incredible String Band and Deep Purple as conducted by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, only played by people dressed as human-sized furry cartoon animals because it seemed like a fun idea”
The Guardian
“Fang Island are simply Killer Fun”
Mojo 4/5
“A Joyous, jangling, low fidelity mess of riffs and shout a long choruses”
Vice 8/10
“This music is just honest and life-affirming and infectious, and it’s that rare concentration of directness and simplicity that makes Fang Island so uniquely and wonderfully inclusive”
Pitchfork 8.3/10.
The band have a perpetual smile on their face, a sun shiny, achingly positive mix of Trans Am, The Fucking Champs, Don Caballero and Boston’
