A gig held at Exchange on Saturday 20th May. The event starts at 20:00pm.
THORNY returns to Exchange with a packed programme of live music, performance and DJs, headlined by SKINNY GIRL DIET. We are super excited to be able to bring this necessary and relevant band to our platform, with the rest of the evening full of talent and frolics too. We hope you enjoy it; see you on the dancefloor. ♥
SKINNY GIRL DIET
Self-branded "London's most badass scream queens", electric riot grrrl trio Skinny Girl Diet are a much needed breath of fresh air in DIY music. Unpolished, brash and completely unafraid, their sound is a forceful wall of noise which drives their fury-fuelled political songwriting. Their acclaimed debut album Heavy Flow is a powerful manifesto for their feminist mantra and for not giving a fuck.

TWIN
Twin is the mesmerising solo project from Christelle Atenstaedt, lead singer of THORNY headliners Vena Cava. Her music is both expressive and introspective, a hypnotic ritual of layered guitar effects and soaring vocal cries. Last year's debut release Hverir was a stand-out record for us, and this performance sees Atenstaedt return with new material, accompanied by a full band.

OOZING GLOOP
London-based drag artiste Oozing Gloop is the only autistic, green-faced drag queen, who joins us for a special performance. Need we say more?
ISADORA VIBES
Artist Isadora Vibes will be serenading us with her surreal, subversive performance poetry. Her words are uncensored, her shows are electric. In the world of Isadora, there are no rules.
+ DJ sets from alumni of the Mix Nights programme, a project led by Bristol Women in Music and Saffron Records.
