The cutting edge group of musicians create finely crafted, heartfelt music through a mixture of cello, double bass and drums. They are appearing shortly after their return from a successful showcase in LA and ahead of their appearance at the Glasgowbury festival.
Nasa Assassin are bringing full throttle rock to this month’s line up. This enigmatic band from Lisburn, Carrickfergus and Banbridge make few appearances and surrender yet less information about their influences or history. They simply ask you allow them to be the soundtrack to your night next Friday.

CHERYL COLE'S MARRIAGE WOES To Girls Aloud

Cheryl Cole's marriage to soccer player Ashley could be on the rocks after the Girls Aloud beauty failed to wear her wedding ring two nights running.
Cheryl Cole has sparked speculation her marriage is on the rocks after failing to wear her wedding ring two nights running.
The Girls Aloud beauty - who is married to soccer player Ashley Cole - appeared on UK TV talent show 'The X Factor' over the weekend with her wedding finger noticeably bare.
Friends now say the pair's three year marriage is in tatters and it is only a matter of time before they announce their split.
One said: "The truth is, the marriage is over, even if neither of them wants to confront it. They still have the occasional moment of fun but they both know, particularly Cheryl, that this isn't going to be forever."
Last year, Cheryl was left devastated by claims her husband had cheated on her with hairdresser Aimee Walton and while she decided to forgive him, pals say the marriage never recovered.
A source told MailOnline website: "Ashley begged her forgiveness and agreed that he would totally different. She did not want to see her marriage as a failure - and she still loved Ashley."
Cheryl - who has seen her career go from strength-to-strength since appearing as a judge on 'The X Factor' and recently saw her debut solo single 'Fight For This Love' reach number one in the UK singles charts - has previously said she doesn't fully trust her husband, saying the only people she can rely on are her mum and dogs.
She also hinted England international Ashley is not her soulmate.
She said: "I believe in soulmates, yes, but I believe you also have to work at love.
"I happen to believe your soul mate doesn't have to be your partner - your soulmate could be your best friend, your sibling, it doesn't have to be the person you marry."

'Kanaloa is going to be the perfect escape for those city boys to escape from it all and relax and have a good time in a tropical paradise within walking distance from the office but without the jet lag for once!'

The star said she was 'proud' of her latest vocation, after teaming up with Crane and owners of London's Mahiki and Whisky Mist nightclubs Nick House and Piers Adam for the project.
