Milton Keynes

Ist Ist

The Craufurd Arms, Milton Keynes 59 Stratford Road, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom

Brighton

Drab Majesty + TBC

Chalk Venue Brighton 13 Pool Valley, Brighton, United Kingdom

The latest EP from Drab Majesty marks the start of a stirring new chapter in the band’s majestic legacy. Written during a 2021 retreat to the remote coastal Oregon town of Yachats, Deb Demure leaned into the neo-psychedelic resonance of a uniquely bowl-shaped 12-string Ovation acoustic/electric guitar. After early morning hikes in the rain, Deb would record ambient guitar experiments the rest of the day, tapping into “flow states,” letting the sound lead the way. These sessions were then refined or recreated, and later elevated further with key collaborations by Rachel Goswell (Slowdive), Justin Meldal-Johnson (Beck, M83, Air), and Ben […]

Release the Bats Live: Chaos Bleak + The InSect

The Pipeline, Brighton 6 Little East Street, Brighton

Release the Bats presents a special live edition featuring two of the UKs top goth/Post-punk bands.

Nottingham's Chaos Bleak take inspiration from the early post-punk sound, before The Sisters became the template. What would Play Dead sound like if they formed in 2019?

The InSect is an eclectic Post-punk/Goth/Un-pop band from London with a reputation for delivering electrifying, immersive, and engaging live shows. Founded in late 2017, they have played extensively throughout the UK.

DJ Mendees will be filling in the blanks with his regular blend of tunes old and young.

New Model Army - "Unbroken" Album & Tour 2024

We’re happy to announce that our 16th studio album ‘Unbroken’ will be released on 26th January 2024, accompanied by a first tour of Europe (including the UK).

We started writing the album in 2021 against a backdrop of everything that is happening in a fast-changing world and in our own lives, but of course the process was interrupted by the much delayed 40th Anniversary tour and the whole Sinfonia project. We decided early on that our number one choice to mix the album would be the legendary Tchad Blake who accepted, […]
