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.
