KEG + Buffet Lunch+ Hotel Motel

A bill of pop, rock and indie acts in Edinburgh, headed by KEG, a seven-piece band, with Buffet Lunch and Hotel Motel also on the line-up. The Mash House is the venue.

KEG have been together for six years and draw on influences that run from hardcore punk to the smooth crooning of Steely Dan. They have released the EPs Assembly (2021) and Girders (2022), which were praised by Loud and Quiet, NME, Dork and So Young, and they have had backing from BBC Radio 6 and Radio X. Their newer album, Relaxing Near the Hospital, pursues a deliberately unfixed sound that recalls Ween, with a openly vulnerable streak that appears more firmly in place than on earlier releases.

The act is aimed at listeners who enjoy Ween, Talking Heads, Devo and Fugazi. KEG's live shows are described as frenetic, and the band have played festivals including Greenman, Latitude and End of the Road, building a following across the UK and Europe.

Buffet Lunch and Hotel Motel complete the bill. The Mash House is an Edinburgh venue that hosts concerts and shows, and the evening suits anyone curious about the group's experimental approach to pop, rock and indie.
