Sneaky Pete's

Jack Botts is breath of fresh air out of the Northern Rivers of NSW, creating a brand of surf folk drenched in depth and substance. In just a handful of years on the scene, Jack Botts has gone from chippy-turned-busker-into full time touring musician and one of the fastest growing artists in the country.

His sound is perfect for bringing those coastal road trip vibes to life, and his live shows are no different, ranging from bars, venues and festivals, to busking on the streets across the Australian coastline.

Very exciting announcement for our June date! We are overjoyed to bring you a booking we have wanted to make for a long time; Oakland based underground heroine Bored Lord.

Over the years Daria Lourd’s singular approach to dance music has remained consistently exploratory, irresistible and heart-wrenching. Cutting her teeth within the fiercely creative Oakland DIY scene while making art and music as part of the digital collective Rare Nnudes, Bored Lord found a home at underground club imprint Knightwerk before more recently joining kindred spirits Eris Drew and Octo Octa on their label, T4T LUV NRG.

Her sound is in constant oscillation, pinging between toothsome hardware jams, joyous pop edits, queasy bass euphoria, pleasure-center inflaming hardcore and amorous, banging breaks, all channeled towards a dancefloor philosophy that is, to use the words of Eris Drew and Octo Octa, “pressed loud and built out of love between queer and trans people…the same love we use to survive.” [FACT MAG]

We are giving non-House and non-Techno, Disco not Disco, band-driven music a fresh pair of Sneaks. Every Tuesday Nick, Peaky and special guests mix…

Arthur Russell, Baxter Dury, Bodega, Blondie, Brian Eno, clash, Bowie, Diana Ross, Fat Whites, Fela Kuti, Grace Jones, Iggy Pop, Janaelle Monae, Khruangbin, LCD Soundsystem, Lizzy Mercier Descloux, Mac Demarco, MC5, Minor Threat, Parquet Courts, Pixies, Ram Jam, The Slits, Sugarcubes, Tame Impala, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, White Denim and Frank Zappa.

With a sound oscillating between psychedelic pop and space rock, Triptides’ album “Alter Echoes” channels both The Byrds at their most hallucinogenic and Floyd at their most cosmically composed while creating something immediate and new.

The band has established itself as a preeminent part of the Los Angeles new wave psych music. With “Alter Echoes,” they pull away from the pack, thanks to the quality of their songwriting, performance and production.

Triptides is led by multi-instrumentalist Glenn Brigman, and with drummer Brendan Peleo-Lazar and bassist/guitarist Stephen Burns.

Morrison Street and Two step clash again to celebrate the release of Two Step’s new EP “Be Thankful 4 What You Got” – featuring Like a Fool with the MSC!

Xiu Xiu release the devastatingly macabre, appropriately cacophonous new album, titled Ignore Grief, due for release on March 3, 2023 on Polyvinyl.

The current iteration of Xiu Xiu includes existing members Jamie Stewart and Angela Seo, now joined by old friend and new member David Kendrick (Sparks, Devo, Gleaming Spires).

Jamie Stewart shares: “In ‘Maybae Baeby,’ the singer’s viewpoint is of a young person hiding in a fantastical conversation with a tarantula in order to escape a physically abusive parent. We were hiding within this fantasy of a fantasy, following the model of the late 1950s sub genre of

‘Teen Tragedy Songs,’ to try and find a way to come to terms with a number of staggeringly horrendous events that occurred to people close to the band over the last 2 years.”

The release of “Maybae Baeby” is accompanied by an unsettling video directed by the band’s Angela Seo, who shares: “The video is, for better or worse, about literal isolation, all the things we tell ourselves to should do or not do, forcing open a small crack and crawling deep into it, even if we know we shouldn’t, just to get away to somewhere else, even if it’s worse.”

Sending it into the start of next week every Sunday at Sneaky Pete’s.

The enigmatic Glass Beams radiates a unique brand of serpentine psychedelia rendered with cyclical riffs and dizzying melodies, drawing primary musical inspiration from his Indian heritage. Refreshingly, Glass Beams prefers to lie in relative obscurity, allowing the narrative to lie in the music itself. The debut EP Mirage is out now, through genre hoppers Research Records.

It’s a northern thing! Manchester DJ, producer & radio head Finn skips over the border to make his debut in the Sneaky Pete’s sweat box.

Finn McCorry is a busy man! As well as running his own record label, 2 B REAL, which was awarded DJ Mag’s Breakthrough label of the year in 2020, he releases on London imprint Local Action, looks after the brilliant Mixtape Club series, is an instrumental part of the NTS Manchester crew and runs an impeccably curated party series in the city’s nightclub Soup.

Oh, and he plays so many belters, he just released ‘The Banger Dictionary’, a collection of 90 synonyms for banger. You’ll never be lost for words again!

Finn’s eclectic taste leans towards early 90s House, Garage & Hardcore records from the US & UK, all of which will go down an absolute storm in Sneaks, and we’ve paired him up with Aberdeen queen Nina Stanger, one of Scotland’s best diggers in high tempo, rave-y gems. Dress 2 sweat!!!
