Sneaky Pete's

“Taking the cosmic Americana of The Byrds, Burritos and Band and adding light touches of psych and dreamy melodies to create a sound which burns brightly.” Shindig ****

“Reminds me of Eggs Over Easy & the Link Wray albums—a version of country-rock that isn’t too glossy, that still has gravel stuck in the boot toes.” – William Tyler

“Promised Land Sound approach their folk-rock source material with both wide-eyed wonder and deep understanding.” Uncut 8/10

“By turns plaintive and rocking, a wistful rhythmic journey into a band’s true beating heart.” Mojo ****

It has that wonderful bar-band sound. Really fresh! – NPR

As part of part of Independent Venue Week we present some real heroes in an intimate setting.

Honest rock n’ roll, played loud, recorded to analog tape.

The Ataris

Founded in 1996.

Twenty years later still going strong, traveling the world doing what they love on their own terms.

We’re happy to say that we now offer 14+ events for selected shows, helping us fulfil our ambition of fostering a generation of gig goers in this city.

Despite common consensus, 2016 was a very good year for Seb Wildblood and his outfit Church, closing out with a humungous 16 releases including records from burgeoning talents Mall Grab, Beesmunt Soundsystem, San Proper, Project Pablo, alongside a debut Boiler Room takeover, 2 North Amercian tours, worthy mentions on a handful of end of year lists and central orchestration of collective/label/crew Coastal Haze (who represent Telfort) – I think it’s fair to say Seb has cemented his place as one of the hardest working stalwarts of the South London community.

Our homie Philip Budny released this 2 tracks last year – ‘Hash’ on the Lionoil comp back in January and ‘Eclipses’ on Church Volumes 3. It seems fitting to have him over from his recent posting in Berlin to join Seb for the night.

Expect jazzy, dusty, thumping, straight-up-and-not-so and moreover highly danceable sounds from two friends with strong sensibilities for the dance.

Emotive and upbeat indie pop.

The Van T’s are a rapturous West of Scotland 4-piece surf-pop rock beast.

Formed in around 2013 by twins Hannah and Chloe, The Van T’s have already enjoyed widespread praise from blogs and radio including Bella Union honcho Simon Raymonde. This acclaim has spread outwith the UK with radio plays in France and the US.

With influences ranging from First Aid Kit to Wolf Alice, this quartet are the new smell of teen spirit. Bolstered by appearances at T in the Park & Wickerman Festival and a support slot with impresarios Honeyblood, Sunflower Bean and Rat Boy.

We’re happy to say that we now offer 14+ events for selected shows, helping us fulfil our ambition of fostering a generation of gig goers in this city.

Delving into more expansive and experimental territories, Glasgow’s prodigious talent C Duncan released his second album ’The Midnight Sun on 7th October to critical acclaim. [Read more →]

“The effect is transportational…” **** The Guardian

“Out of this world” NME

“Edinburgh teens schooled in the mesmeric whirl of Mogwai and Krautrock bring an absorbing debut with a centrifugal groove” MOJO

“Just occasionally, something arrives to challenge preconceptions… their textured, monochromatic sound – sonic structures suggest they’re far older than aged 19 apiece” The Skinny?

“The Road is everything we want to hear in a first single… one of the best debuts we’ve heard in months” The Line Of Best Fit?

“The New Kings of Art Rock…. the best debut single by a British band since ‘Ceremony’ by New Order.” Observer New York [Read more →]
