Random Rules
Radio Free Alice
Diving Horse
Good Pariah
for fans of… The Smiths, The Strokes, Parquet Courts

June 8th, 2024

Random Rules is our new series of monthly shows with the hottest new bands on an affordable £7 adv ticket price!

Get ready to be blindsided – your new favourite band in 2023 is going to be these four Melbourne-based 21 year olds. Radio Free Alice’s angular sound feels fresh and immediate – guitars with clean tones and clever notes, melodic bass lines, urgent drumbeats, the occasional sax, and an operatic swagger that should have been honed in a New York art school rather than in the land of Oz.

Already selling out shows in their home town and across the east coast, Radio Free Alice combine an unlikely set of influences that includes ‘80s titans like Talking Heads, The Cure, The Smiths and The Sunny Boys, alongside more recent reference points like Parquet Courts, Ought and The Strokes.

With their unconventional sound, Radio Free Alice has clearly hit a nerve early, with their debut single ‘Square’ racking up over 120K streams online and capturing the attention of some of the most sought after tastemakers in the Australian music industry at triple j.

Their self-titled debut EP came out in 2023, and was supported by shows with Royel Otis, The Snuts, Django Django as well as appearances at SXSW Sydney and an invitation to The Great Escape UK. Expect more releases to come in 2024, as well as a special vinyl release of the debut EP!

Volens Chorus:
¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U

June 6th, 2024

Depending on who you ask, Yousuke Yukimatsu is the best DJ in the world. Or at least in Japan.

Originally from Osaka, now based in Tokyo, Yukimatsu’s sets have become legendary, providing mind-bending but seamless connections of every imaginable genre and out-of-this-world blends.

From his debut at DJ Nobu’s FUTURE TERROR event to performing three consecutive years at Berlin Atonal Festival and featuring in Asian Dope Boys’ durational installation/performances, Yukimatsu’s sets have to be heard to be believed.

“Like the best ambient pieces they worm their way into the listener’s subconscious and before you know it, you’re feeling lighter yet craving more.” – Louder Than War

rEDOLENT

June 5th, 2024

Fresh from being nominated as BBC Introducing Scottish Act of the Year, Edinburgh five-piece band rEDOLENT have today announced the release of their anticipated debut album, ‘dinny greet’, set to be released on 17th May via the burgeoning Scottish label and artist house Post Electric (home to Hamish Hawk, Humour, Iona Zajac & Voka Gentle). Alongside the news, they’ve shared a new single – the title track from the LP, which means ‘don’t cry’ in Scots.

Premiered by Steve Lamacq on BBC 6 Music and undoubtedly one of the strongest tracks the band have released to date,

Speaking about the meaning behind the song, frontman Robin Herbert explains, “It’s about living with someone and sharing their mood. Trying to keep it positive, to tackle life together. It’s little snapshots of things I’ve heard or said; me and Alice trying to cheer each other up in the depths of lockdown depression. Either with some daft fantasy: “We’ll go out in new
clothes every night”, “neither of your parents will ever die”. Or by just reminding each other that it’s not so bad with the simple things: “The sun’s between the blinds”, “You’re off tomorrow”. It’s a hopeful prod of encouragement to try and be happy with what you have.

Because it’s often so much more than you think.”
