LIVE MUSIC
AUTOMOTION -
Automotion are a London four piece emerging from the post-@£$% landscape. Weaving melodic arpeggios with heavy headbanger riffs, each track takes the listener on a journey through extreme dynamics and different intensities of emotion.
RATS-TAILS
Formed in South East London, the Rats-Tails project quickly became defined for its bold visual presence and willingness to bend the boundaries of dream-pop beyond the norm. Only a handful of releases into their career, the band’s self-determined ‘Dream Rock’ sound has already shown itself as one of great dexterity and ambition.
STONEFACE
Stoneface are a five-piece band fusing punk rock, jazz rock, and blues. Based in Bristol and Bath, Stoneface create a “volatile style” through a combination of jazz and blues sounds alongside aggressive rhythms and tempo changes, with vocals that swing from melodic to dark and frenzied making them a refreshing and original addition to the Southwest scene.
SONOTTO
'Musician is not a big enough word to describe Sonotto' - Bristol 24/7. Sonotto is the musical outfit of Stirling born, Bristol-based newcomer Otto Neckel. Bringing his love for African rhythm, No Wave, Jazz-Funk and World music into a contemporary vision inspired by the Left-Field electronic
scene of Ninja Tune, Ghostly and Warp Records. Previous supporters include The Skinny, Podcart, BBC Radio 1
and BBC Radio Bristol to name a few.
SOLAR FIDE
Solar Fidé are a dynamic Neo-Psychedlic/Alternative-Rock four piece hailing from Bristol, England.
Distinctly blending the kaleidoscopic sounds of the 60s with the driving rhythms of the 90s, Solar Fidé are a temptation to the ears for anyone with a love of early Indie and Grunge, as well as Progressive Rock & Britpop.
SUNGLASV VENDOR
Formed from Bristol's avant-garde underground (Bingo Fury, Ex Agent, Grandchild), Sunglasz Vendor sees devout experimentalists embrace the eternal comforts of rock radio hooks, pensive emo, and Kerrang! teenage angst.
