The Bank Accounts Winter Wonderland at The Dark Horse
If you need any help getting in the festive spirit then The Bank Accounts are your perfect hosts, a genial mix of minimalist guitar sparring, self-deprecating banter and sledgehammer wit. You will smile; you may well feel awkward, hell, you may even nod your head to a tune, but you will enjoy every second. DJ Robosanta has escaped from his GorillaBot enclosure and will be flinging tunes your way with the help of his Bot Elves. Keep looking over your shoulder because there will be surprises.
Fri 22 Dec 9pm at The Dark Horse, 145 Alcester Rd, Birmingham B13 8JP www.darkhorsemoseley.co.uk
