NIGHTSHIFT WITH VELVET TUXEDO & THE SERFS
December 10 @ 7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
£7.00
Formed in 2019, NIGHTSHIFT continue the city’s rich history of blurring the lines between DIY, Post-Punk and Experimental Pop and features artist Eothen Stearn, Chris White, Andrew Doig aka Robert Sotelo and Georgia Harris.
Described as ‘hypnotic punk’ they do not shy fromemploying repetition in their sound, as well as embracing a variety of other musical stylings be they hyper rhythmic; noise based; pop inclined or emotive. There is no preconceived idea to the band’s identity.
Primarily dealing in humanist themes there is an optimistic, utopian slant to Nightshift’s group persona. Never afraid to broach the absurdist strains of life that surrounds them, they revel in everyday confusion and find respite in the small wonders of the natural universe and beyond.
“Hypnotic… an intriguing blend of post-punk and psych-pop sounds” Stereogum
THE SERFS Experimental quartet based in Manchester UK SKYMOUTH SAYS “Suck it & see!”
A four piece from Yorkshire, VELVET TUXEDO are a guitar driven band and with an energy that only an exposed electrical socket could hit you with. That is if you would be so daring as to touch it…
Surfing the ragged waves of US 60’s Garage and resurrecting the energy from the British Freakbeat scene circa 65/66, Velvet Tuxedo offer sounds that risk turning you away from the standard pop charts to delve deep into a record store’s “rare finds” box in search of something best played in cloud of purple haze.
