REVERBERATION
Food, music, drinks, and hopefully sunshine ! We can’t wait to jam with you at our biggest event yet:
3 eclectic stages, showcasing some of Bristol’s different music scenes…
Saturday kicks off the weekend event with CJC manning the main stage, hosting 10 bands of Kraut Rock/Blues/Alt. Psych Rock/Fish Rock and whatever the hell Hoof is! All Hands On Deck taking over The Lounges, bringing Psychedelic Grooves, Funk and Soul, and tunes you couldn’t be still to!!
Nile Robinson’s Folke Fort features an ensemble of up and coming underground Folk artists ready to put the world to rights and preach the wrongs of humanity. Expect something special…
CJC STAGE:
HOOF - CJC assembled. The CJC crew open the day and set the bar as low as possible with feel good bedroom written songs & whimisical lyrics with a psych edge. https://www.instagram.com/mongushoof/
BLUFIN - Back on the main stage again to send vibrations through the mansion. This band all met through the CJC weekly jams and combine elements of blues, funk, jazz and soul guaranteed to get you dancing! https://www.instagram.com/blufin.audio/
DRAIN SNAKES - Four piece krautrock/pysch/punk explosion. Estranged melodic vocals, driving riffs and progressions, a freaky trip indeed.. https://www.instagram.com/drainsnakesband/
GAVEL - Bowed Guitar, furious folk style shredding, spools of cables and pedals. A Glam Alt Rock explosion powered by the bands experimental tendancies. Gavel bring the hammer down.. https://www.instagram.com/gavel.band/
TOWNHOUSES - Welcome to the heavy mix of motoric beats and melodic guitars that is Townhouses. Combining elements of 60's psych rock with indie, post-punk, and shoegaze; the Bristol based 4 piece bring a contagious energy to every stage, always giving it their all. Their lyrics report on young hearts and minds; love, madness, masculinity, and much more. In 2024 they played their first shows abroad, first Festivals, and many sold out shows in Bristol and London. After the release of their debut EP, "New Year, New Me" Townhouses are excited for 2025 and what's to come… https://www.instagram.com/_townhouses?igsh=YXEyMm8xZHVlaTJk
SURFACE AIR - From the splintering bone ashes of prog, punk and no-wave, springs a rare bird of apocryphal breed. Formed in Bristol, Surface Air are poised to unleash aural intoxication unto the unsuspecting world in 2025 and beyond. https://www.instagram.com/surfaceairband?igsh=MW56ZXozOXBjNWFjbg==
