Seethe back on stage for a special reunion
Posted 16th September 2024The chance to indulge in a little local heavy nostalgia presents itself at The Craufurd Arms on September 7, and you’ll be swelling the coffers for a deserving charity by taking a ticket.
Seethe, Crossburner and Keeper of the Rifle are coming together to raise money for the National Gaucher Foundation.
Seethe’s Matt Downes is behind this event, and it is a cause close to his heart; he lost his niece to the condition.
“Gaucher’s disease is a rare genetic disorder where the body is missing an enzyme that breaks down fatty substances called lipids, and as a result, severely lowers your life expectancy,” Matt said, “‘The disorder generally begins during childhood or adolescence, but can also affect adults.”
The timing of this reunion show is important too – poignantly, Matt’s niece would have recently celebrated her 21st birthday.
“Getting back together with the Seethe and Keeper of the Rifle lads has been great,” said Matt, who now fronts Casket Feeder.
“It will be great to be able to be together again and just have a laugh and enjoy playing together, without having to worry about the politics that sometimes comes with being in a band.
“The fact that we can do it while raising awareness of a special charity, and celebrating the memory of my niece, makes it incredibly special.
“We would love you to join us for a night of nostalgia and to help raise awareness. All profits will be donated to the charity.”
Tickets are £8 in advance, £10 on the door.
Other shows worth checking out at the Wolverton hub this month include tribute Robbed Zombie (Sept 6), and London’s The Karma Effect (Sept 13) who will peddle the raw, hip-shaking rock ‘n’ roll laid down on their new album, Promised Land.
Da Flyy Hooligan (Sept 20) is at the forefront of the UK underground scene, and his arrival is bound to cause a stir for all the right reasons.
Also taking up space on that bill, Dotz, Grotty White and Simiyun, with MK based producer Whiskeyman claiming a part, and fellow Keynesian The SheJay Djing and hosting. Tickets are £14.50.
