The Tubs live in Montreuil-sur-Mer

Experience The Tubs live on December 4th

The Tubs, a British post-punk and experimental rock band active primarily in the late 1970s and early 1980s, will perform at Le Chinois in Montreuil-sur-Mer, France on December 4th, 2026. The band is known for its minimalist arrangements, often featuring repetitive basslines, angular guitar work, and detached vocals – characteristics aligning them with the early UK independent music scene alongside acts like Wire and Gang of Four. They released a small but influential body of work including the albums *Now* and *Wilderness*, before disbanding.

Le Chinois is a performance space and bar located in Montreuil-sur-Mer, Pas-de-Calais, France. Originally established as a traditional French bistro, it transitioned into a venue focusing on alternative and underground music during the 1990s. It has since become recognised for hosting both established and emerging artists across genres including experimental electronic music, noise rock, and avant-garde performance art. The venue maintains a deliberately intimate atmosphere with a capacity generally under 150 people. Its programming frequently emphasizes artists with connections to independent record labels and DIY culture.
