A gig held at Dareshack on Saturday 28th January. The event starts at 19:30.


After their tour over summer 2022, local atmospheric post-punk five piece DWELL are back in Bristol for a headline show at Dareshack to celebrate the release of their single, So Slow, which was released on Brooklyn based record label Fire Talk Records' "Open Tab" platform on January 13th.

Fire Talk say "Following in the lane of slow core enthusiasts like deathcrash or Knifeplay, the five piece’s elongated rhythms are both quietly stirring and gorgeously arresting. An exquisite echo chamber of strings, jazz instrumentation, and guitars, it’s an almost trance-like entry point into a band just coming into their powers."

The show will be making use of Dareshack's audio visual capabilities and include support acts LIFTER and PORTRAIT OF. Unfortunately, the DJ set from Boulderhead has had to be cancelled because of some technical hangups.

18+ only
