Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! A double headliner of winking, witty art-pop at The Cube. War Against Sleep's Duncan Fleming wrestles Cave-esque dark crooning with irresistible psych-pop melodies, while Emily Breeze’s indie-noir is seductive yet melancholic, uncanny yet anthemic… Patti Smith meets Pulp in paradoxical femme fatale form. Two of Bristol’s best underground songwriters here for sure! "

A gig held at The Cube on Friday 18th April. The event starts at 20:30.
Join us for a one-night-only event as two of Bristol’s most unique songwriters, Emily Breeze and War Against Sleep, take the stage for an intimate night of wildly entertaining, gloriously self-indulgent piano and vocal performances.
In the transformed setting of the Cube Microplex, expect an unpredictable mix of classic covers, soul-baring originals, and—if the stars align—even a duet or two. All served with a side of Vegas sleaze, and the shimmering, come-down haze of your most terrifying film-noir fever dreams.
Seating is strictly limited to 100, so book early to be part of this very special evening.
Emily Breeze
"The poet laureate of glamorous wastrels" (Clash Magazine). Sultry art-pop from Avon’s premiere social commentary chanteuse Emily Breeze, dripping with spoken word sarcasm and rousing torch song choruses.

War Against Sleep
“Duncan Fleming is a genius of a songwriter walking a razor sharp tightrope between deranged humour and classic pop music. War Against Sleep is his ongoing battle against the absurd waking dream that passes for life, in which he plunders the hidden treasures of a thousand charity shop records, writing songs that tingle the spine, move the soul and lift the spirit.”
