Hot Box Chelmsford, 24 Oct 2025
Sludge for your ears
ASBESTOS SALESMAN delivers a live performance of their 'sleazy wet slop' with nothing more than their vocals and a briefcase full of asbestos....
Crawling straight out of Southend-on-Sea, the duo were recently broadcast on BBC Radio 6 with their single 'Bagalamb'. These self-proclaimed pioneers of the 'post-sludge' genre describe their music as a mix of post-punk and alternative rock, hooked up to an ashtray and served up with a wit as dull as your overnight oats.
Dance about the overwhelming state of the world to lyrics sprinkled with satire, inspired by societies failings, while you peer through a smudged lens focusing on the dirty and the depraved. Like huffing on a bag of asbestos. You'll have to see it to believe it, just don't breathe too deeply...
Chelmsford's grassroots music venue. Keeping independent music alive.
