The Blue Aeroplanes are Bristol’s longest-running band, an art-rock institution acknowledged as an influence on REM, Radiohead and countless 80’s/90’s post- punk/alternative bands.
They have been an indie band, a major label band and were the first UK post- punk band to use folk instrumentation, as well as pioneering a combination of spoken and sung lyrics.
They are also involved in several other projects, such as running the legendary Bristol venue The Fleece, and they have close connections with BIMM Bristol, where vocalist Gerard Langley is lecturer and Head of Songwriting (most prominent ex-student, George Ezra).
Combining poetic vocals and a three-guitar attack that encompasses rock, folk, punk, mainstream and avant-garde influences, the Blue Aeroplanes are a genuinely uncategorisable live experience, After all this time, still nothing like anything else.
“Be they rock or be they indie, for me the Blue Aeroplanes have a lot more about them than many of today’s tiresome crop of guitar acts. And then, there are some bands that go on for so long, and really, many of them you think should have called it a day long before. For me though, The Blue Aeroplanes still sound remarkably fresh. Instead of sounding like a band that should have given up yonks ago, amazingly enough, they sound like a band still on the verge of a major breakthrough!
Exchange is a 14+ venue. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.
