Portland scuzz-pop act Eat Skull are joining forces with Brisbane swamp-rock overlords Slug Guts for a night of contorted electric insanity at Woodland on Friday April 8.

Known for their lo-fi classics Sick To Death and Wild And Inside, and a handful of super-sharp (and rare) 7-inches, Eat Skull combine Flying Nun-style art-pop with feedback, grit and punk attitude. Hooks galore, provided your ears can withstand the onslaught. They are, if we can allow ourselves a moment of real honesty here, completely unmissable.

Slug Guts need no introduction, having been regulars on the Woodland stage. Except of course this time they're playing off the back of a triumphant US tour, where they were seen partying with Tyler The Creator at SXSW (no shit). Plus they have an album out - Howlin' Gang - on amazing New York label Sacred Bones. And with song titles like Spring Hill Lair, you know this is the best thing to wash up on Brisbane's riverbanks since long before the floods. It's loud, it's mean and it's dirty. As Secret Birds man D.Black says, "those guys are animals".

Tickets are $15+bf pre-sale or $18 on the door. The night starts at 8.30pm. Be early!
