After a slew of quality releases, they feel it is time to have a bit of a birthday bash, and thankfully, all the bands on the label's roster agree. For one night only, in the label's favourite room in their home City, OOAL bands and Djs will party like it is 2003 again.
Live performances from current OOAL acts Rest, Crayonsmith, Hooray For Humans, Ten Past Seven and Windings, as well as a special never-before-done acoustic set from OOAL alumni giveamanakick, will be intertwined with dj sets from the label between and after bands.
In keeping with the label's independent DIY ethos, tickets will be €10 for this choc-a-bloc bill. Those who turn up early on the night will be rewarded: treats will be there, as well as discounted special merchandise. Also, as the line-up will be selected at random on the day, you don't know just when your favourite OOAL band will be taking to the stage.

CATS AND CATS AND CATS
Cats and cats and cats stagger their trademark brand of catchy math rock with folk inspired post rock sections. Starting in early 2005 when friends Ben (Vocals, Guitar) and Tom (Bass, Backing Vocals) met Doug (Drums) at the University of Hertfordshire. Their debut EP, Victorialand, picked up some great reviews and the attention of the UK experimental rock underground. Never being ones to grow musically stagnant, Cats expanded their line up to include Adam (Guitar) and Eve (Violin) to record 2006’s mini album Sweet Drunk Everyone. The new direction split opinion with a weighting towards a fuller, more ambitious post rock sound. Extensive touring followed with the band sharing stages with their heroes Youthmovies, 65 Days of Static, Foals and Blood Red Shoes and performing twice at 2007’s Glastonbury Festival.
Cats x 3 were soon gaining label interest and, after releasing a split single for Wolf Party records, decided their next release would be with Big Scary Monsters records. BSM has been releasing consistently innovative and inspiring records for years and the label seemed like an obvious choice for the band. The split EP with Oxford’s This Town Needs Guns (Sept ’07) was a storming success and received rave reviews from the likes of NME, Rock Sound and Drowned in Sound. Huw Stephens invited both bands to record a Radio 1 Session which was aired in early October.
Currently the band are halfway through writing their first full length album due to be recorded in July 2008. As ever, Cats have made things interesting by inventing a list of 12 rules which the album must follow, dictating aspects such as song length, language and instrumental arrangements. The band will be releasing a very limited edition vinyl on Irish label, The Richter Collective on the 2nd of October.
