On Saturday 6th December, Safari Series at Exchange explores an adventure of sounds across two stages from 2-10.
Rooted in the hardcore scene is an evolving diy ethos that has created a wild array of sounds, scenes and mentalities.
Expect thick tone, heavy riffs and fast punk accompanied by astral sonic exploration.
The scene in Bristol is infinitely inspiring and increasingly humbling.
The collaborative nature of Bristol has created a cooperative of audio merchants
Trading in noise and gratitude.
Gratitude Uber alles.
The volume of bands coming out of Bristol is phenomenal, if you listen carefully you'll probably hear one forming right now.
As Bristol is celebrated for it’s inclusivity

We must of course throw the homies from London and South Wales a tourist visa.

Exchange has a small ramp entrance from the street. Our bar and main event space are on the ground floor with level access throughout and we have an accessible toilet.
Please note the basement is not wheelchair accessible and is accessed by a narrow enclosed staircase.
