    Rocksoc presents:


    20th February at the Man on the Moon 8pm.
    AWAKE (headliner)
    Having played to critical acclaim before, Awake once again return to Cambridge to do the same again. Having a distinct prog-metal flavour in the style of Evegrey and Pagans Mind, it will not be long before they play much larger venues so you would be mad to miss this!!

    SMOKESCREEN
    Speak to anyone who has seen these guys before and you'll hear nothing but positivity spewing forth like no tomorrow. As such they are a favourite amongst many of us as they always bring a great show along with them whilst serving us a good dose of straight-up Metal.

    TRIFIXION
    Trifixion will make their debut Cambridge appearance under their new name, as they used to be known as Ditchcreeper and is definitely a band for those that are of the more brutal persuasion.

    Details:
    Non-Members - £5 on the door, or £4 in advance (adv ticket link coming soon)
    Members - £4 on the door, £3 in advance by emailing events@rocksoc.org.uk stating how many you want and (most importantly) the names of the people that want a ticket.

    Rocksoc presents: Charity gig for the Sophie Lancaster Foundation


    2nd March at the Man on the Moon


    Rocksoc are putting on a gig in aid of the Sophie Lancaster Foundation where 100% of the door takings will go to the charity.

    Sachanovak
    Sachanovak have played for us a couple of times before and have been amazing. Currently doing the local gig circuit in abundance, they play a healthy dose of solid hard rock in the vein of QOTSA, Foo Fighters and Muse.

    The Scene Is Dead
    Oh no it isn't! As the band put it, they're like "Big ballsy rock with killer riffs that will make your ears bleed with excitement." Think of such bands like the Wildhearts and you wouldn't be far off.

    Plus, there is going to be one more band that has not been announced yet.

    Admission is £4 on the door for everyone. I know the usual Rocksoc member discount does not apply, but as it's a charity gig so we want the largest amount of money we can get.

    Also, Wake Up Screaming is being held at the Kambar right after the gig (which will finish around 10), so why not come out to both?
