Heathen Apostles

The David Hall Roundwell St, South Petherton

Born of the voices of past lives and baptised in the dust bowl dirt, the Gothic Americana music of the Heathen Apostles harkens back to a bygone chapter of American history. Using contrasting influences such as Bauhaus, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and The Pogues, along with Howlin’ Wolf, Loretta Lynn (the band covers her classic Fist City) and Bessie Smith, the Heathen Apostles have created a style of music that will conjure both angels and demons, and will enlighten a darkened soul.

Heathen Apostles come to one of the best small venues in the South West.

Reformation: Der Bürokrat

The Waiting Room, London Stoke Newington, London

We are delighted to announce that our July REFORMATION party will feature DER BÜROKRAT making their debut UK gig!

Der Bürokrat is the necessary collision of two pivotal trajectories within the European underground. On one side, Ben, the sonic architect behind the electro-dark cult Hammershøi; on the other, Jules, the voice and electro punk-ebm nerve of Zug.

Having closed their respective chapters on the stages of major international festivals, the two multi-instrumentalists have merged into an entity that rejects the superfluous.
