Sneaky Pete's

Australian duo Renee de la Motte and Thomas Eagleton, better known as Salarymen, conjure an addictive blend of indie, rock, disco and psych influences, taking a nod from the likes of The Strokes and Beach Party , to Alice Phoebe Lou and Arcade Fire. Recently showcasing at The Great Escape and selling out their first ever UK show in Edinburgh, Salarymen have moved from strength to strength in the last 12 months. From touring nationally with Royal Otis and San Cisco , to showcasing at SXSW Austin, nabbing a slot at one of Australia’s biggest festivals, Lost Paradise, and performing to enamoured crowds across Tokyo and Osaka on their debut Japan tour, the band is currently in their biggest year yet.

Salarymen have earned regular spots on local/international Spotify playlists, play on BBC6, Radio X and KEXP, premieres on triple j, features on Clash, The Guardian, NME and much more.

This week at RARE Club we have a stacked line up Tookast a regular for us, their previous outing with Hapol was massive, well known for their mixing of genres from house all the way to techno.

Alongside the talented Becca Egan making her second appearance for us, making her debut all the way back in June. She’s has been making a real name for herself in the scene.

WOOM is comprised of Alice Barlow, Gray Rimmer, Lara Laeverenz, and Isobel Risk. A low hum, a harmony and ripple, a mirror of reverberating melismatic vocals carrying listeners to the heart of a sound.

South London four-piece choir WOOM have just released their latest single ‘Circe’ to critical acclaim from the likes of The Guardian, Crack Magazine and The Line of Best fit and 6 Music and Radio 3 amongst others. This spellbinding introduction to their forthcoming project follows the acclaimed 2021 debut EP ‘Into The Rest’, which saw them reimagine a diverse selection of tracks from luminary artists into bewitching new forms.

The notoriety of WOOM’s performances have already garnered an impressive live legacy, with the band recently joining Clarissa Connelly on stage at the ICA alongside Caroline Polachek and supporting King Krule, The Big Moon and Grouper. The band have also performed at many prestigious festivals, including Glastonbury, Mirrors and Boiler Room Festival, including two consecutive sold-out headline shows at the Southbank Centre.

“WOOM weave music of spare plaintive beauty, from the most minimal of elements: four voices, and one (tastefully deployed) guitar” – Loud & Quiet

“There are shades of Cat Power at her most downbeat here, but it’s all about the harmonies with this indie-folk quartet: dreamy but with an edge of threat.” – The Guardian

RESTRICTED CODE

The Codes will be launching their debut album, ‘Chasing Shadows,’ available here released November 1st on the Last Night From Glasgow label. Restricted Code enjoyed fantastic critical success and something of a ‘cult’ following in the early 1980s. Signed to Bob Last’s Pop:aural label alongside label-mates The Fire Engines, Boots for Dancing, and The Flowers, Sounds music paper claimed they delivered the ‘best gig of 1981.’ They also received rave reviews and features in magazines including NME, The Face, and Melody Maker.

The band split up late in 1981, perhaps due to the pressures of not achieving breakthrough success despite such critical acclaim, but reformed with all original members. After releasing new music digitally in 2020 and 2023, the band is back with a brand new album to be released in November 2025.

Visit restrictedcode.com to hear music from the band, including John Peel sessions and previously released music. At Sneaky Pete’s, they will play the entirety of Chasing Shadows, plus highlights from their back catalogue.

BIG LANES

Big Lanes is a Scottish post-punk/psych rock band from Edinburgh. They formed during the pandemic in 2021 and are influenced by bands like Yo La Tengo, Galaxie 500, and The Jesus and Mary Chain.

Marconi Union continue to side step traditional genres forging their own path. In their music can be found hints of Dub, Jazz, Ambience, Minimal Techno and Electronica which are blended together with melodies to give a unique atmospheric vibe.

They frequently draw comparisons to artists such as Kraftwerk, Brian Eno, Biosphere, Tangerine Dream and Boards of Canada, while at the same time moulding these influences into their own distinct sound. Tracks from their new studio album The Fear of Never Landing have been described vicariously as Electronic Head Music or a new Electronic Shoegaze.
 
Marconi Union have worked with many artists including Jah Wobble, Max Richter, Biosphere, Steve Jansen (Japan) and Marina Ambramovich Institute. The group have previously played at a variety of festivals and events, notably Big Chill festival and Punkt! Festival in Norway, the latter at the invitation of Brian Eno where they we asked to play live re-mixes of the previous performer’s works.
