Sneaky Pete's

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.

Redstone Press & Friends returns to Sneakys for our final party of 2024.

A weekend of firsts – Tammo’s first time in Scotland, first time playing at Sneaks, first time all of us meeting in person and (hopefully) the first time he tries a deep fried Mars Bar…

Tammo Hesselink likes to play around with many different rhythms. In terms of both what he makes and what he spins, he is drawn to stripped-back building blocks that allow him to get creative and find new sounds in what he combines. Whether that’s the bass-driven swagger of UK sounds or the more psychedelic and loopy end of techno, what he does is mix it all into something unpredictable yet compelling. It is this signature style that has earned him resident status at revered club De School and Garage Noord as well as releases on labels like Nous’klaer Audio, Delsin, Blank Mind and of course, us!

He has been deeply rooted in the Amsterdam scene for years now. Almost right from the off he headed down his own path by setting up The Invariants, a production alias and label which soon got a reputation as a well-respected project known for supple and spacious house and deeper techno works. Now he releases under his own name, confident that he is getting his own personal message across just as he would like.

His knack of encouraging dancers to get lost between the beats, somewhere off grid, is what makes him a firm favourite with clued-up crowds everywhere from the US to Australia, and of course at Amsterdam’s Garage Noord which he now calls home.

Lewis Lowe & Pseudopolis pair up for what is now a very rare b2b as Redstone Press and will be warming the club from 11pm.

See you in the sweatbox!

Arthi presents Arthi Hard at Fruitmarket Warehouse, part of Sneaky Pete’s 2024 Installation Series.

Arthi’s continent-crossing sets fuse high-octane club sounds from dancehall to baile funk to garage, bassline and beyond. Her playful skanks behind the decks capture a love for DJing that she first developed through performing as a dancer for artists including Beyoncé, Dave and Amaarae.

Her party Arthi Hard celebrates the connection between music and dance, with dancers and DJs lighting up the stage side by side across a vibrant mix of influences. The party has taken over London with a series of sell-out shows bringing together legends of the scene and rising stars from Katy B to S!rene, Manara and G33.

Arthi has sold out headline shows across Europe and brought her sound to major events in the UK’s summer calendar including Shangri-La at Glastonbury Festival, Four Tet’s All-Dayer at Finsbury Park, a pop-up rave in East London hosted by Fred again.. plus a sold-out residency at London’s Phonox, solidifying her formidable presence in the industry.

Dublin-born singer and composer Rachael Lavelle’s debut album ‘Big Dreams’, released via her Rest Energy label, has quickly seen her become recognised as one of Ireland’s most exciting emerging talents.

Floating in a world that is at once full of irony and honesty, Rachael examines the essential things: sleeping, eating, work and the search for love, reimagining them in a dream-like musical landscape of luscious synths, manipulated vocals, cinematic sound design, strings, woodwind and electronic beats.

It’s seen the album be nominated for Ireland’s prestigious Choice Music Prize Album of the Year. Lavelle has also been tapped up to tour with breakthrough Irish trailblazers Lankum and CMAT, as well as taking part in the Sorcha Richardson curated ‘Imagining Ireland’ at London’s The Barbican and Dublin’s National Concert Hall alongside SOAK, Ye Vagabonds, Aby Coulibaly and more.

The Fierce & The Dead, originating in London 14 years ago, have gradually evolved into one of the most celebrated cult bands of the past decade. Initially an instrumental group, the addition of bassist Kevin Feazey as lead vocalist in recent years has brought a fresh dimension to their sound. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of influences, including psychedelic rock, vintage metal records, post-rock, progressive rock, broken an alogue synths, and shoegaze, the band has crafted a unique sonic identity.Their latest album and first to feature vocals, “News From The Invisible World,” has garnered widespread critical acclaim, earning a prominent spot on Prog Magazine’s list of the best albums of 2023 (second onlyto Steven Wilson). Additionally, it has secured placements on various other year-end lists, including Classic Rock Magazine’s critics list and readers polls. The anticipation for their upcoming UK tour, featuring live mellotron by TomHunt, is evident in the sold-out UK dates, booked months in advance. This tour marks their inaugural festival headline appearances.
