Join us in celebrating the release of Little EP from milkd, on October 9.

milkd are a an indie-pop duo from Edinburgh, comprised of Will Langston and Andy Stern. Their upcoming release, Little EP, represents a step in a new direction for the group, having teamed up with Gregor Stobie (Dancing on Tables), who was responsible for the production on the EP. Whilst the production has changed slightly, the songwriting process has remained the same. Langston and Stern both contribute to this process, and this can be heard clearly in all of their work. They share many of the same songwriting influences – perhaps most obviously Brian Wilson and Paul McCartney – but it is to their credit that they are able to combine all of their own individual, and often seemingly incompatible, influences into their songs. Through playing around with guitars, keyboards, close vocal lines and different percussive ideas, milkd explore how with just two members, interesting and exciting sounds can be created, both on stage and in the studio.

“milkd deliver music which invites the listener to lay back on a soft blanket and allow the music to wind away the stresses of the day as the reverberating echo of guitar, softly brushed vocal and warming keys cosset the ears” – Emerging Indie Bands

Support comes from Sophia Kate. University of Edinburgh student by day, Sophia Kate has been singing her whole life – but has only turned her hand to songwriting in the past few years, with songs merging intimate lyrics with soulful, R&B inspired melodies.

If you go see show from this guide, make it this band. No kidding. This show. This one.

Virginia Wing’s ‘Ecstatic Arrow’ is our favourite album of the year so far. It’s a remarkable, loveable record of feminist release, recorded in the Swiss Alps, and appropriately enough is by turns sunny and icy, spacious and soaring. We can’t stress enough how special this show is!

“Virginia Wing’s is an understated but familiar scramble of mid-’80s pop at its most avant-garde — Laurie Anderson’s sprechgesang, Peter Gabriel and Japan’s chilly hauteur; Kate Bush’s imposing dynamic and Malcolm McLaren’s impish reinvention — so if Ecstatic Arrow doesn’t feel quite like stepping into a new world, it at least returns us to an unspoiled glade.” – Pitchfork

Firecracker Recordings family present their final therapeutic dancing session of the year.

We’ve been plotting this with Harry since the start of the year, and we’re really pleased to see he’s coming up for three nights 8th til 10th November.

Tickets will sell out pretty fast for this one, don’t delay.

Edinburgh’s musical beauty pagaent invites Frankie Elyse of Groovers.

Yes! One of our favourite acts we hosted in 2017 are back with an album ready to go. Real high-end indie pop with quirk, swagger and charm, these guys will go far.

Since last year they have been playing their biggest shows to date – in front of thousands as part of Bastille’s nationwide arena tour.

Ed Cares, one of west London’s most in-demand male nannies, was overheard humming a song he had written, by Katie, aged six, who persuaded him to form a band: “You’re probably my second favourite artist after Katy Perry.” Sourcing some neighbourhood musicians — Emma Topolski (bass), Rich Legate (guitar) and Glyn Daniels (drums) — Ed soon had an able band to perform with, and gave it the only logical moniker in the circumstances: CHILDCARE.

Having honed their vivid and visceral live show on stages including Reading and Leeds festivals and now some of the land’s major concert venues, we’re really excited to hear the songs from their forthcoming record.

A new weekly night with a danceable mix of music made by bands, cutting across genre, age and nation.
