gigs this spring & summer

Submotion Orchestra

3rd May at St. George's Church Kemptown, Brighton. Since their inception in 2009, the genre-defying Submotion Orchestra have moved seamlessly between deep electronica, jazz, soul, and ambient downtempo, mesmerising audiences around the world. Their unique music is at once delicate and heavy, spacious and dense, and highly atmospheric but firmly rooted. Earth-shaking bass and drums combine with lush keyboard and trumpet textures to create the perfect backdrop for the fragile beauty of Ruby Wood’s vocals and bass-heavy productions.

Memorials

20th May at the Prince Albert in Brighton Memorials is the new band of Verity Susman and Matthew Simms. As an exciting experimental duo these multi-instrumentalists cover plenty of ground on stage, juggling instruments in a setup resembling that of a 5-piece band. Their sound touches on many points, veering from melodic songwriting to psychedelic noise, free jazz freakouts, tape loops, and drones, and then back again, using their musicianship to explore the endless realms of sound, noise, and freedom in song structures.

The Luxembourg Signal, Jetstream Pony and Even as we Speak

6th August at the Hope & Ruin in Brighton.

With the release of their self-titled debut album on Shelflife Records in 2014, The Luxembourg Signal quickly attracted a loyal following among fans of dream pop/indie pop music and received enthusiastic reviews for their pop sensibilities, angelic vocals, and lush soundscapes.

Jetstream Pony are based in Brighton and Croydon. Named after a retired racing greyhound, the band features Beth Arzy on vocals, Shaun Charman on guitar, Kerry Boettcher on bass, and Hannes Mueller on drums. With the balance between indie-pop and something darker, Beth's wonderful voice and twelve string guitar are underpinned by heavy bass and sometimes by a two drummer rhythm section.

Australia's Even As We Speak are an exploding supernova of contradictions, lighting up the indie pop night sky, whilst raining down destructive particles and distorting space and time with their chaotic and remote brilliance.
