“Energetic,  rawcus songmasters, a truly awesome live band ” Mark Clayden - Pitchshifter

With support by the muse sounding band ‘The Deal Was For The Diamond’ , the 3-piece is once again performing their intensely, energetic live sound at one of Brighton’s best indie clubs, The Barfly. Influenced by new-wave artists such as ‘The Police’ and ‘The Stranglers’, Arty Karate will deliver a youthfully, exciting approach to a punky-pop garage sound, but with songs remaining catchy without losing their underground integrity.   Brighton What’s On - April 2008
