GENESIS LOUNGE

To celebrate the inaugural Cutting East Film Festival we welcome two massively talented local bands – the brilliant Mammoth Sound and Sherlock’s Dead. Following their sell out performances at the Jazz Café and their high octane appearance at The Royal Albert Hall, Mammoth Sound will be performing a stripped down set especially for Cutting East. Through their love of different styles of music, they have a unique flair, creating a harmonious blend of Hip Hop, Dubstep and Jazz. The legendary Sherlock`s Dead will also take to the stage with their blend of reverberatedshoegaze and west coast punk. The band released their first self-recorded EP Indigo Sea (available through Band Camp) in early 2012. Their first full length LP, ‘Why Not?’ was released in early 2013.
