Neon Fields
With Mr Belway and Autumn Killers
£10 Adv
7pm doors
Neon Fields -
Described as an enigmatic band with a distinct identity, Neon Fields
formed in 2020, mere weeks before the start of the global pandemic.
Throughout the proceeding lockdowns, the southwest UK-based trio
pushed the boundaries of rock and electronic music in isolation,
sharing music remotely and refining their style. The result was a
unique and sophisticated sound that captivated audiences with
cinematic soundscapes, industrial tones, and creative narratives.
Based in Bristol UK, Ed Barrett (vocals), Luke Russe (Drums) and Piers
Ward (Keyboards/Guitars) draw from a diverse set of influences and
seamlessly traverse multiple genres to deliver their brand of
electronic rock. Their self-titled debut album released in August 2022
has received enthusiastic approval from critics and fans.
In the short time since Neon Fields arrived on the scene with their
exhilarating release, Light Them Up, they have continued to release
material that resonates with a continually growing international
fanbase.
As one article put it, Neon Fields creates a distorted and thrilling
listening experience with a resounding blend of sound, enticing the
listener and keeping them fixated on the music pouring into their
ears.
Mr Bewlay -
UK Art Pop extraordinaire Mr Bewlay has established himself as the
paramount voice for the unorthodox. Currently based in Cardiff,
Bewlay’s upbringing was flamboyant with an early induction onto the
stage. With amateur dramatic performances of classics like West Side
Story, A View From A Bridge and A Streetcar Named Desire Bewlay learnt
the subtle intricacies of stage performance, a skill he brings with
him to this day. Beginning his musical career under the mentorship of
the respected Forte Project in Wales, Bewlay has pushed himself into
releasing his ‘Electric Reason’ Trilogy which saw him expand his sound
with the addition of synth-heavy, funk grooves and sweet
retro-inspired pop hits. In addition he has played sold out headliner
shows in prestigious venues such as Porters, Queens Hall and Ill
Repute. As a champion for LGBTQ+ activism he has also given talks and
performed at Queer festivals and shows with the On Your Face
Collective. Recently Bewlay has signed with Tiwn Media and they are
set to release the next wave of his music with their first being the
Electric Reason EP.
With a breadth of sound ranging from retro-spiced pop, to quiet
reflective solo pieces, Bewlay’s unpredictability is also found in his
music. With influences coming from artists such as David Bowie, St
Vincent and Parquet Courts, Bewlay remains in a lane of his own with
bombastic vocals, extravagant style and lyrics of the utmost
originality.
