Grubbing, Patsy Delve, Group Sounds at Exchange
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"A haunted jukebox of gnarled noise and unsettling noir-pop: Grubbing’s string-shot mutant discordance is pure Gilla Band x Velvet Underground with the menace dialled to max; Lynchian dream siren Patsy Delve delivers reverb-drenched post-doo-wop; and Group Sounds disintegrate in real time via absurdist psych-fuzz freakouts. More New Weird Bristol pls!"

A gig held at Exchange on Sunday 7th June. The event starts at 20:00.


New Weird Bristol strikes again with three insane local acts and an early curfew for Sunday night

GRUBBING
Violin/bass/drums weirdo combo deliver whimsically sinister jerk-rock songs of longing and skronk.

FFO: Deerhoof, Cardiacs, Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 and smiling at someone for a bit too long without breaking eye contact

PATSY DELVE
Ambiguously gendered, country-fried dream pop straight out of the black lodge.

FFO Julee Cruise, Scott Walker, Echo and the Bunnymen and that feeling when you can't remember a dream but you can still sense the shape of it

GROUP SOUNDS
Psychedelic shitgaze revivalists pedalling cute hooks that you can't hear underneath the endless sheets of fuzz

FFO: Sonic Youth, Times New Viking, Pavement and the class struggle as heard through guitar feedback

Tickets priced on a sliding scale for concessions, consider chucking in extra if you can afford it for solidarity
