Attic Choir

March 12th, 2022

“Attic Choir are a three-piece alternative rock band from Scotland, formed in 2015. Their diverse catalogue is characterised by punchy riffs and frequent dynamic shifts. Without restraint and unconfined by genre, the trio indulge in their own styling of aggressively melancholic alternative rock, laden with catchy hooks, soaring choruses and bursts of intense singing. With the release of their debut EP, Internal Wound Management in June, it’s clear this is a band wearing its heart on its sleeve, unafraid to let you into their world; welcoming you to join them in a fleeting moment of pure catharsis.”

REFRACTA

Juniore
at Summerhall
cancelled, sorry

March 10th, 2022

Ticket refunds are available from point of purchase. Ticket buyers will be notified.

Juniore are very disappointed to have to cancel. Here is a message from them:

Dear friendly listeners,
 
We are very sad to announce that we have to cancel our concerts planned in March/April in the UK, Europe and France. Although things are getting better, slowly but surely, they aren’t all better just yet. The possibility of having to cancel our tour last minute because of border restrictions, quarantine rules, government limitations, is once again too great. 
 
That is why we will not postpone the tour, for the fourth time in two years, but accept that we have to cancel the shows – and wait for a new tour with new songs and a new album. In the new world! When it will be safe to travel and play, for every one of us.
 
Please do continue to support promoters and venues, and buy merch and records where possible! Soon there will be better days for all.
 
We hope you understand and we send you all our amour.
 
Juniore 

Juniore are a French indie pop quartet from Paris led by singer/songwriter Anna Jean.

Before forming Juniore in 2013, Anna Jean collaborated with Samy Osta in an indie folk duo called Domingo, who released one LP in 2008. In the following years, her mysterious, sultry vocals would lead her to collaborations within the Parisian electro scene, appearing as a guest vocalist for artists like Jackson & His Computerband and Bot’Ox.

Working again with Osta, she formed Juniore originally as a duo, later expanding into a quartet. Mixing modern indie pop sensibilities with elements of retro French pop, dark, twangy surf guitar, and a vocal style that falls somewhere between Cat Power and Françoise Hardy, Juniore released their debut 7″ single, “Christine” b/w “Dans le Noir,” in late 2013 on the Parisian Enterprise label.

Roxanne de Bastion + Zoe Konez
cancelled, sorry

March 8th, 2022

By her own admission, Roxanne de Bastion was a “weird kid”. Smiling at the memory today, she recalls, “Being really frustrated with myself around the age of seven or eight and saying to my musician dad… ‘But when am I going to write a song?’ And he would just say, ‘You’ll write a song when you’ve got something to say.’ Take your time, it’s fine.” These words of reassurance are set to be proven prophetic with the release of Roxanne’s second album, You And Me, We Are The Same, a record that sees the now London-based singer- songwriter finding her authentic voice, while channelling the pain of her father’s death last year.

Thematically, the record proves wide-ranging in its focus, finding Roxanne warning society against repeating past horrors and ruminating on the perils of underestimating people, inspired by the story of megasavant Kim Peek.

This approach is reflected beautifully in a record that ultimately examines what it means to be human, and that does so with the utmost sensitivity. And with it, Roxanne de Bastion has not only done justice to the memory of her late-father, but has cemented her status as a vital voice in the singer-songwriter sphere.

Bryde + Magpie Blue
For fans of… Warpaint, Laura Marling, Big Thief

March 7th, 2022

“Feral Guitar, Torn-from-the-chest lyrics… sensational” – Sunday Times Culture 

“Bryde’s voice, equally stunning and chilling, climbs to a plainspoken conclusion that cuts with its honesty.” – NPR

“A voice that deserves attention” – Consequence of Sound

“Bryde invokes the ambience of Warpaint and emotion of Laura Marling” – Dork (4 Stars)

Sarah Howells released four extraordinary albums with her band Paper Aeroplanes, before branching out solo to become Bryde: “I had ideas that I wasn’t previously able to fully realise, and it was the beginning of a bit of a love story between me and my Burns guitar.”

On her new record ‘The Volume of Things’, written and recorded between London and Berlin, Sarah explores the grip of the midnight worries that keep us awake long after dark. “Looking for some way to get it right,” she sings, “the things you think to yourself at night”. Produced by Thomas Mitchener (Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, The Futureheads), Howells describes the record’s expansive feel as being like “the calm before the storm – before the true calm that I’m working towards.”
