SKA band Spunge - or as most often typeset as [spunge] will play Southampton's Talking Heads tonight ( Friday June 9).

Lead singer Alex Copeland has joked that the brackets are in the name so that the letters do not fall out!

Hailing from Tewkesbury, through many years of touring Spunge have toured with or played alongside a number of UK bands and several more American bands such as Green Day and Dropkick Murphys.

They have been supported on a UK tour by Bowling for Soup who contributed backing vocals to the song "Centerfold" on the That Should Cover It! album.

Tickets £11.50 in advance. For more info email: enquiries@thetalkingheads.co.uk
