What's on Next...
Dakorra
A new band featuring Kate from Ocean Ruins working with our very own Ian AKA Tiger Mendoza, to create a new act of trip-hoptical illusion and crepuscular ambience. There are hints of Portishead and CHVRCHES, but also some serrated guitar direct from the mid-90s. The debut EP Elevate Me is a glossy melding of electro-pop and gothic rock.
Silent Weapon
Umair Chaudry has previously played GTI with his Abandon project, and anyone who thought that was twisted and industrial hasn't heard anything yet! Nightshift called Umair the Baron of Bleak when they slipped him into their top tracks of 2022, celebrating his ability to create "purging instrumental industrial noise for the end of days".
Arthur Osofsky
Gappynauts might remember Arthur as the vocalist of searing abstract punks The Overload, and now he's here to deliver a spoken word set. Expect intricate rhymes, some old-fashioned pier-end comedy, a debonair dress sense, and perhaps a bit of touching poetic insight in amongst all the fun. There may even be a musical pal or two available to join Arthur in a number...
Unless national obligations change, we will not be asking for proof of vaccination or evidence of a negative COVID-19 test on the door. We ask that people stay home if they feel unwell, or if they've had a positive test (we'll be undertaking lateral flow tests ourselves prior to every gig). We want to continue to ensure that our events are relaxed affairs, whilst being sensible about managing the risk.
Of course, some people will not feel ready to come to a small venue yet, and we understand - hopefully we'll see you again in the not too distant future.
Naturally, we will revise this policy should the UK government introduce further regulations.
