Wombatwombat and Amsterdam-based promoters subbacultcha! present an Anglo/Dutch mini-all-dayer at B2, Sprowston Road, Norwich, this Saturday (from 4pm).

The event showcases a spectrum of the exciting underground sounds of Norwich and The Netherlands as well as being the eagerly-awaited debut gig for UH-OHs, a local trio of familiar faces. Norwich's Low-era Bowie-inspired atmospheric rock trio .Sub take the headline slot previewing tracks from the Oxytocin EP, which is out in early 2008. The Netherlands' guitar/bass/drum/trumpet combo We vs. Death make a welcome return to Norwich with their trail-blazing sound that combines the energy and passion of bands such as Fugazi and Karate with the beauty of post-rock.

Fellow Dutchmen Adept include Liars, New Order and Thom Yorke among their influences with the band choosing “heavy pumping beats with restrained, sensual vocals and loud noise eruptions” as a guide to what to expect. Their 2007-released debut was extremely well received by the Dutch press, as were their performances supporting Enter Shikari and 65 Days of Static.

Local lads Cineclub liken their pop melodies alongside dancing guitars to whirlwind indie punk that's in debt to David Bowie, The Clash and The Jam.

The line-up is completed by the Dutch collective Bonne Aparte, guitar-pop/rock band Tell Me How who are currently working on their debut album, Jim Musgrave (The Elephant Dress and my visor) and UH-OHs who formed in August this year through a mutual love of Pixies-esque loud/quiet/loud school of punk rock. The band take the stage at 4.10pm. Tickets £5 on the door.

t Wombatwombat say there will also be Dutch fayre on offer to try free of charge, subject to availability, including pickled herring and salted liqourice.
