Viva Lewes Issue #138 March 2018

GIG GUIDE // MARCH
GIG OF THE MONTH:
MAID OF ACE
Fans of The Distillers rejoice, there is a
female-fuelled brigade of punk-rockers
on the scene, and they are coming
to Lewes. Maid of Ace, hailing from
south-coast dirty Hastings (their words,
not ours) comprises sisters Alison, Anna,
Abby and Amy Elliot (all with middle
names starting C, literally making four
aces, nicely played Mum and Dad).
They have been playing together as a
sisterhood since a school show in 2005,
and the two albums now under their belt
are jam-packed with kick-ass tunes and
anti-establishment attitude (‘Minimum Wage’, ‘Fight’, ‘Greed’). Their sound is riotous, energetic punk rock
and they are certain to make for a memorable gig. Saturday 31st, Con Club, 8pm, £11.50
