A gig held at Exchange on Saturday 13th September. The event starts at 19:30.
Horses on The Beach x Long Tonic x Eil Marchini
THREE BANDS. ONE UNFORGETTABLE TOUR. 3X3 TOUR.
THREE BANDS. ONE UNFORGETTABLE TOUR. 3X3 TOUR.
This isn’t your average gig — it’s a full-throttle night of full band live music, packed with blazing brass, screaming guitar solos, and a touch of Italian flair.
Italian Eil Marchini brings his full 4-piece band to the UK for the very first time, Horses On The Beach celebrate the release of their third EP and Long Tonic are just glad they’ve not been cancelled yet.
From Bristol-born alt-funk and blues-rock to atmospheric indie-folk with global roots, three powerhouse bands are hitting the road to bring groove, grit, and soul to every stage.
Horses On The Beach
Horses On The Beach was born from the union of four individuals who all share a compulsive urge to make people dance. Performing live music has become their only socially acceptable outlet for this need — and in doing so, it's helped them find some much-needed stability. They're looking forward to a future where more people are dancing than not, and they hope to help tip the balance.
With eclectic influences like The Cat Empire, Paramore and Ezra Collective, it’s no surprise that HOTB’s live shows hit hard. Towering horn lines glide over dynamic compositions that move effortlessly from blazing choruses to delicate interludes and back again. Their sound blends Latin and Balkan jazz, hip-hop, ska, and more — a mix they’ve been writing, producing, and performing for the past five years.
They’ve taken this energy-packed show on the road across the UK, lighting up festivals like Wonderfields, Port Eliot, and Boomtown, earning praise for both their musical range and magnetic stage presence.
Reviews
“Up-and-coming band Horses on the Beach have a fantastic energy on stage! They're engaging to watch as well as listen to and manage to marry up funk influences of old with a youthful optimism most of us have long since left behind.” – Rob Crisp, Power FM
“Is there a better young band on the circuit? Neigh!” – Andy Quick, Land Of The Giants

Long Tonic
Long Tonic was born in the depths of Cornwall, where they honed their unique take on the indie/blues rock genre amongst the lush landscapes and innovative spirit present in the Falmouth music scene. After moving to Bristol in 2021 they quickly gained a following throughout the city for their high-energy live shows. Screaming guitar riffs and trumpet hooks face off against soulful lyrics about finding your way in a world of chaos, all comfortably nested in the grooviest of pockets.
Reviews
"One of the most charismatic and energetic acts I have seen in my time in Bristol"
- The Epigram
“From note-one they had the audience moving. Their latest single is a testament to the band’s shining talent.”
– Tom Tozer, Music Journalist
“The groove infused Long Tonic, a band oozing cool. The mellowed sound matched with wailing guitars encompasses life on the coast. It’s music for when you’re pining for those summer days. It’s effortlessly relaxed, similar to bands such as Ocean Alley or Sticky Fingers.”
Kieran Webber, Editor in Chief, Clunk Magazine

Eil Marchini
Born in Italy, Eil Marchini has spent much of his life travelling the world on a mystical quest to absorb the sights, sounds, and soul of every place he touches. Now, for the first time, he’s bringing his full four-piece band to the UK — ready to deliver a wave of Italian blues, atmospheric grooves, and heartfelt storytelling to British audiences.
An essential listening for anyone with a passion for guitar, electronica, folk, psychedelia, in fact, for anyone who demands the music they listen to challenges them and transports them to worlds they never even knew they wanted to visit.
Not allowing himself to be constrained by fitting into a genre, Eil flits between making atmospheric instrumentals, classic blues and indie folk ballads.
Eil has appeared on stages alongside the likes of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Black Stone Cherry, Ben Harper and 30 Seconds To Mars.
