Astrid Sonne is a Danish, London based composer and viola player. Throughout her acclaimed discography, Astrid Sonne has been carefully crafting different moods through electronic and acoustic instrumental endeavours. 

On her most recent album “Great Doubt” (January 2024) this skill is refined, now with the distinct addition of the composer’s own vocal in the fore. The tone of each track is unmistakably Sonne’s, structured around contrasts through an impeccable sense of timing. Lyrics on the album are sparse, merely highlighting different scenes or emotional states of being, leaving the music to fill in the blanks. Yet they also form a pattern of ambiguity, consolidated through the album title, searching for answers through looking at how and what you are asking, questions for the world, questions of love. 

The viola, a trusted companion since Astrid Sonne’s youth, appears effortlessly throughout the album, fully integrated into the sonic universe; through a pizzicato driven arrangement in the poignant track “Almost” or along with booms and claps in mutated cinematic stabs during “Give my all”, paraphrasing Mariah Carey’s 1997 ballad. Yet the string section also gives way to explorations of woodwinds, counterbalancing the bowed movements with digital brass and airy flutes. Finally, beats and detuned piano are fresh additions to the soundscape, cementing how Sonne’s practice is always evolving into new territories.

This spooky season we have Edinburgh’s own Intergalactic Disco Vampire joining us at our favourite sweatbox

Eve Simpson, artist and songwriter from South Shields, brings her only full-band show of the year to Sneaky Pete’s this Autumn. To celebrate the release of her single, Always Waiting, Eve has curated this very special, collaborative show, before heading off on a 3-month adventure across the world early next year.

Eve gigs extensively throughout the UK, featuring at Edinburgh Hogmanay, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Celtic Connections, and selling out headlines from Edinburgh to London.

Head on down to say a temporary goodbye, before Eve lands back in the UK with a bang next Spring.  

For our October party, we welcome the esteemed Glasgow party duo Talkless.

Talkless have been running stellar parties since 2021, pushing forward the modern UK sound by inviting guests such as Kaval, Nikki Nair, Stones Taro and Wil Hofbauer to name a few. We have witnessed some of their bi-monthly shindigs at both La Cheetah and Broadcast and we can’t wait to host them at Sneaky Pete’s.

West London’s Kessoncoda are the duo of drummer Tom Sunney and keyboardist Filip Sowa. Standing firm between acoustic tradition and electronica, Kessoncoda is founded on a unique blend of melodic ostinato-laced piano and unwavering drums. Drawing on their array of musical interests, Filip and Tom take influence from rock, electronica, ambient, breakbeat and soundtracks for film and artists such as Squarepusher, Radiohead and Clark. They’re developing a new vision of jazz revolutionized by lulling dance music and electronica in their tracks.

Real Farmer is a Dutch band hailing from Groningen, known for their energetic blend of DIY punk, angular art-rock, and gritty authenticity. The band has established itself as a powerful voice within the Dutch alternative music scene, with a sound that blends raw punk energy with experimental, free-form structures.

Formed by frontman Jeroen Klootsema, who grew up on a farm, Real Farmer chose their name to reflect a sense of straightforward reality, though their music diverges from rural themes. They have a distinctly urban, modern sound that reflects the complexities of contemporary life, often tackling topics like gentrification, drug culture, and financial hardship. Their lyrics are laced with personal and social commentary, presented with a fierce punk attitude.

Real Farmer’s debut album, Compare What’s There (2024), showcases their unique blend of styles, combining fast-paced punk rhythms with moments of melodic, atmospheric reflection. Tracks like “Inner City,” with backing vocals from bassist Marrit Meinema, draw comparisons to the dynamic between Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon. The band’s use of fuzzed-up guitars, punchy bass lines, and gritty vocals creates a distinctive sound that is both aggressive and introspective.

Door-to-door heartbreak salesmen, NatureTV, is made up of Guy (guitar & vocals), Josh(bass), Zal (drums) and Jimmy (lead guitar & bvs). Straddling the line between soulful indie-pop and psych-rock, their sound is often compared to Peach Pit,Real Estate & Beach Fossils. The Brighton-based quartet have received rave reviews from tastemaker blogs, support fromBBC Radio, Radio X, Amazing Radio, as well as landing editorial playlists on Apple, Deezer & Spotify (inc. Hot New Bands, Garden Indie, Lo-Fi Indie, The Lovely Little Playlist, late night vibes, & Stress Buster).A live favourite, NTV have recently finished an extensive headline tour, selling out in multiple cities across the UK. They were also handpicked to open for Chappaqua Wrestling on their sold-out album tour, and have played festivals including The Great Escape, ILMC,Wild Paths & Toronto’s NXNE. 2023 saw the foursome sign to indie label, Heist or Hit, in time for their latest Mid Flight EP. NTV are looking to tour extensively and play festivals across the UK and Europe.With the backing of one of Manchester’s most iconic indie labels, Nature TV have a huge future ahead of them.
