Wombatwombat returns to Norwich Arts Centre this Friday night (8pm) with a double headliner of lush, layered, melodic noise, with post-rock from Pennines and Mimas.

Hotly-tipped math-rockers Pennines' pedigree speaks volumes, with sometime and current other band credits that include Evader, Grand Prix 86, The Captain and Fun!Yeah! The Norwich/London-based quartet has toured to rave reviews. Out promoting their split seven-inch single, This Town Needs Guns, Pennines plan to release a full EP later this year, plus a split single with Blue is the New Black.

Danish/Icelandic quartet Mimas make a welcome return to wombatwombat for the final date of an 11-date UK tour to promote their debut album of “death-indie” anthems, The Worries, released on October 6. Inspired by bands such as Do Make Say Think, Why? Mogwai and Pavement, Mimas' world is melodiously loud/quiet/load and littered with dark lyrics to spine-chilling vocals.

The main auditorium line-up is completed by Amsterdam-based experimental art-punk outfit Labasheeda.

Opening the bill are the ambient sounds of Norwich qartet Buried in Pompeii, formed this year from the ashes of the Shadow Project.

Howlback Hum in the café/bar present the Gore Vidals, Cross Country Driver, Alex Carson, Alexander Dome and Eye.
