Exchange
Forward thinking live music venue in Old Market.
Since opening its doors to the public in later summer 2012, Bristol's Exchange has proven itself to be a key player in Bristol's live music music scene. With ticketted events almost every night of the week, Exchange plays host to a wide variety of live bands and styles. That said, the venue's musical programming for bands that sit on the heavier side of the fence (post-rock, math rock, psych) is unrivalled elsewhere in Bristol.
The venue is set over two floors with the larger of the two stages upstairs found upstairs. While club promoters are able to run two concurrent soundsystems, gig promoters and all-dayers use the space to sequence bands and provide a constant programme of music.
Doors for live music events at Exchange are typically 7.30pm, while clubnights vary.

Jeanines, Lightheaded, Darling Buds and Silk Cuts at Exchange.
Los Angeles post-hardcore three-piece Knumears – fka Turn Away – are an unceasing typhoon of rattling screamo energy, imperative for anyone into the heavy catharsis of La Dispute, Touche Amore, Dreamwell, Deftones, et al. See you in the pit (with tears in your eyes).

KLÄMP’s noisy, claustrophobic style of industrial post-punk will grind you to a nub. Throbbing basslines, reverb drenched guitar and syncopated drums clatter around Greg Wynne’s wavering croon. A properly star-studded collective featuring ex-members of IDLES, Sex Swing, Tall Ships, Manatees, Do Me Bad Things, Pulled Apart By Horses, Petbrick and Mugstar.
