Human Toys – The Dry Retch @ Rockpoint Records New Brighton – 11 July 2026
FREE GIG!
Human Toys is a garage punk duo. Poupée Mecanik (vocals, theremin) plays with female archetypes, coupling subversion with irony. Guitarist Jon Von, x-Rip Offs, has transformed the band with new songs somewhere between the Ramones and the Avengers!
The Dry Retch – The living embodiment of down and dirty garage punk rock and roll, the DRY RETCH are a sonic, cyclotronic assault on the senses; a punk n roll machine ready to deliver and pulverise time after time.
They have been the real deal since 1999, elbowing all pretenders into the dustbin of history, being the bastard sons of the Stooges with no need for gimmicks or studied pretension; these really are the genuine article.

The band feels that what is called “psych” today is little more than indie. By opting out of social media and streaming, Thee Lucifer Sams anchor their music in the only thing that matters – reality. Live shows. The moment.
Echoes of Distant Stars formed in 202r in Newcastle from the ashes of multiple heavy psychedelic bands are a truly enigmatic outfit whose live show is being praised across the UK. Expect heavy space rock, Floyd inspired soundscapes and virtuoso musicianship.
