Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Bandulu’s dread overlord in rare-as-dragon’s-teeth live mode collabing with EBM acid-dub punkster Autumns!? Can En Masse read the collective Bristol unconscious or something? The cybergoth On U Sound hardware showdown's preluded by Vanessa Bedoret’s avant trip-hop bliss, all totally lost in live AV wonderment. "

A gig held at The Loco Klub on Thursday 14th November. The event starts at 19:30.
We are pleased to return to Loco Klub for a third year, for a gig that has become the production modus operandi of the festival. With a new year, comes a new transformation of the club’s tunnels. A/V installations, light shows and projections are set to accompany visceral and experimental live performances.
The full line up for the gig at Loco Klub:
Kahn + Autumns (live) - Bandulu Records’ Kahn steps into super rare live mode territory in collaboration with Derby’s electronic post-punkstar, Autumns. Revisiting punk and sound system culture’s shared heritage, this is a collaboration we are truly excited to present - raw acid-dub, rattling technoid-steppas and goth EBM in the arches of Loco Klub.
Vanessa Bedoret (live) - A London-based French violinist, vocalist and composer with releases on Scenic Route and other DIY labels. Her style melds hypnotic melodies, beguiling modern classical, whispers of black metal and sleek dark ambient. As well as her solo work, she accompanied Astrid Sonne for her Great Doubt’s tour in 2023 & 2024.
Silver Waves Trio (live) - Silver Waves is the project of Dylan Mallett, an experimental musician and producer who explores abstracted narratives and sounds derived from the unconventional use of traditional instrumentation. At En Masse, Silver Waves performs in trio formation for the first time, collaborating with bassist Jo Kelly and percussionist Dan Johnson.
Entry requirements: 18+
