Liv Wynter is a trans and working class grassroots organiser and performer, who has just launched their new self titled solo project ft music from Piglet. Their sellout night, How To Catch A Pig, is a celebration of creatives who also organise against the state with a focus of queer and trans performers where their band press.release are residents. HTCAP also has a monthly residency on Threads radio. They have a published poetry collection, ‘Don’t Let It Go To Your Head’, and have 2 sold out theatre production runs (‘Rise of the Refrain’ 2021 Stanley Arts, ‘And So The Choir Gathers’ 2019 The Bunker). 
 

They are gay bar and festival regulars with DJ MC double act Dance Mums, and spent 2022 touring stadiums with Queer House Party, playing Secret Garden Party, Boomtown, Wilderness, Latitude and Sziget, and being banned from the Southbank Centre for decapitating the queen. Liv is a dedicated abolitionist organiser, and stands in solidarity with all collectives organising against any systemic oppression.

Scrounge is Lucy and Luke - guitar, drums, mic. Since meeting at Goldsmiths University in the middle of the last decade, they've been trying to express how it feels to be a young person living and working in a fast-changing metropolis, balancing the constant pressures of making rent, staying healthy and creating engaged, community-focused art. They've toured hard across the UK and beyond via trains and Megabuses around the country, playing with the likes of Yard Act, Sprints, Talk Show, Piglet, Another Sky, Italia 90 and more. Scrounge make sharp, concise art-punk which adds elements of folk, techno and industrial music into a cocktail of noise-rock and riot grrl, and has led to airplay and interviews on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Radio X, Double J, NTS and 

more. 

Following a successful trip to SXSW in 2022, they returned to the UK for a summer of touring and festivals, leading up to the release of their debut mini-album, Sugar, Daddy - a living, breathing document of all that experience as a band so far – before kicking off 2023 with a sellout tour with punk collective Benefits. The record title and artwork came from a realisation that as a DIY band with full time jobs and radical politics, you can't rely on a mysterious benefactor to make things work – sometimes you have to be your own sugar daddy. 
 

When pushed for comment, Ice Cream Ace only said ‘that ice cream's getting chopped’ and hung up the phone on us.
