Band at heart of new metal gig

A Spalding band is set to headline the first show of a new initiative to promote South Lincolnshire artists.

The Boston Original Bands Initiative (BOBI) has been put on as a monthly showcase of talent.

And it’s proved so successful the Blackfriars Theatre in Boston is putting on special BOBI gigs.

The first one takes place on Saturday, June 7 with metal band Buried By My Heartache set to headline it.

The band formed in 2018 and brings a freshness to the traditional metal licks that fans are familiar with and a professionalism that won’t disappoint.

Also playing is Burning Face, a classic heavy metal act, while West Yorkshire lads Autonym are loud, heavy, and dirty.

Lincolnshire’s other band to appear at BOBI’s Metal Showcase is core metal powerhouse Heartstrung which, though only formed last year, has been turning heads and building a fanbase.

Tickets are £6 online and £7 on the door, with a happy hour beginning when the doors open at 6.30pm.

A spokesman for BOBI said: “That Blackfriars approached us to put on grassroots events highlights the growing resurgence of original music and the realisation that audiences are looking for something new, individual and different even within established genres.

“One of our most successful monthly gigs at the Queen of Spades was a metal night so it seemed an obvious choice for the first gig at Blackfriars.”
