Hideous Panda is a monthly night arranged by the indie labels Hideous Mink and Fierce Panda, and this edition is a pop, rock and indie bill. The three acts are sounds mint, Cutflowers and Slak, each playing a separate set in the order listed on the event page.

The line-up opens with Slak, who come from Bristol and build their music from indie, post-punk and alt-rock, producing a powerful, atmospheric noise with a raw edge. Cutflowers, from Brighton, move between intimate and expansive passages within a single song, giving a large-sounding performance on a small stage. sounds mint turn bedroom-recorded, DIY post-punk into a full alt-grunge live show, and their set is aimed at the absurdity and anxiety of Britain today.

The Shacklewell Arms is a London venue that hosts concerts and shows.
