Uncle Peanut presents THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD

In the 20teens, HATYM & Uncle Peanut became “everyones favourite new band” and put on shows with Sleaford Mods, Art Brut, Electric Six and Evil Blizzard and dished out regular doses of PTSD to punters in their notorious Get In The Back Of The Van shows.

HATYM then stepped out of the arena, was laid to rest unceremoniously, and began a new life far away from the grime & muck and opened up a Yogic retreat centre in Goa; leaving Peanut free to terrorise and entertain, armed with his turn of the century phone.

By the ouija and exploring the cobwebbed corridors and backrooms of the dark web, Peanut summoned HATYM, and brought him back from the dead for one night only.

On Halloween 2026, there is a one off return show from HATYM & UNCLE PEANUT and they invited their chums Baby Maker and Doops to return and share all their sweeties.

Please note this show takes place in the smaller studio and is a standing event. Running order will be chosen by lots on the night!

HERE ARE THE YOUNG MEN & UNCLE PEANUT:
Born out of a love of 1970’s UK comics, those British Public Information films that scared you silly, Look-In magazine covers, Madness, Crass, Slowthai, The Streets, & John Cooper Clarke. HATYM & Uncle Peanut have released three albums (so far…) with critical acclaim from Louder Than War, Radio X’s John Kennedy, Monolith Cocktail, Artrocker and Pop Bollocks. https://www.instagram.com/unclepeanutmc/

DOOPS:
doops, now staples of the Reading / Berkshire scene, have been curating a range of post-punk and melancholic alt. rock for near on a decade now.
The almost longstanding 3 piece, have been featured over at BBC Introducing & Radio X, as well as in notable publications such as 'Louder than War', DIY Mag, Clash and Dork. Over the years doops have opened for bands Opus Kink, Do Nothing, Divorce, Heartworms, GANS, Really Good Time, Plantoid, Tummyache & Tramhaus.
“Sounding excellent.. soaking up some Queens of the Stone Age influence but all sorts of other stuff going on too” 
“A real roller coaster with moments of tranquility matched with explosive elements” Kieran Webber, CLUNK
“Blending psychedelic and post-punk sounds with personal lyrics” Felicity Newton, DORK

BABY MAKER:
Brought kicking and screaming into this world, Oxford’s Baby Maker prod at the carcass of influence, blending the best of the past-best vegetables into a heady concoction of dark funk, wonky no wave, proto-punk, & the remnants of pop after an afternoon on the rack. Bandcamp Instagram
