The   Showcase: Cuckoo Corner & Asbestos Salesman & Crisis With a Y

The Showcase

Three local bands Upstairs at The Railway Hotel Southend, Saturday 6 June 7.30pm–12am Clifftown   Road Southend-on-Sea SS1 1AJ, with access to the private saloon bar and drinks deals available   throughout the night included with ticket purchase.

Asbestos Salesman bring a chaotic mix of sludgey, angular and satirical   alternative music, delivered with screaming, dancing and the deranged charm   of a desperate high street salesman and his reprobate pub man companion.   Recently booked for Lazydays Festival, they are one of the stranger, louder   and more memorable acts coming out of the local scene.

Crisis With a Y are a Southend-on-Sea pop-punk / indie band building a   strong local following through packed shows, support slots and a growing run   of bookings, including Lazydays Festival. Expect sharp, energetic songs with   the rough-edged charm of a young band clearly finding their crowd.

Cuckoo Corner are a five-piece indie-rock band from Essex, blending   jangly guitars, sharp lyricism and a distinctly British edge. Their sound   sits between bright, hook-driven indie and more reflective moments, with   influences running from 60s melodies through to 80s and 90s alternative.
