SPEEDIAL + RESIDENTS + JUNCTION

A BELOW THE BELT GIG

Descend into the Exchange for an evening with us, your local neighbourhood musos, for sax-infused Londoners SPEEDIAL, a secret surprise from RESIDENTS and Bristol's own child, JUNCTION.

Speedial - 4 piece, female fronted, alternative band from south-west London. Pulling from jazz fusion, melodic post-rock and off-kilter indie traditions, Speedial builds songs that constantly mutate in motion. Dual vocalists Serena Garrod and Millie Kirby drift between conversational intimacy and explosive release, while Monarch Vavrechka’s spectral saxophone lines weave directly into the band’s dynamic rhythmic core alongside drummer Joe Killick’s fluid, constantly shifting percussion.

Residents - are a secretive bunch. They bear a suspicious resemblance to another Bristol-based band, and their music is almost identical. Expect driving rhythms, interweaving vocals, forty strings, one trumpet, and much more. There is no need for dust-ups or petty squabbles about this group’s true identity, just come along and see for yourselves.

Junction - Bristol five-piece bridging the gap between alt-folk and post-rock, conceived with the idea of bringing to life the countless demos by Alfie Debrulais (previously released as Alfie Demos) with the help of former Looney Bergonzi bandmate Teilo Cadogan on drums, and joined by guitarist Jules Michalski, violinist Anna Radjenovic and bassist Aiden Devine.
Expect gentle guitars, gloomy vocals, melodic bass contrasted with fuzzed out dissonance, haunting violin, and explosive rhythmic crescendos. Have been making waves across Bristol throughout 2026 and are currently recording their debut EP.

FFO: violins, harps, saxophones, red wine, foot tapping, Tara Clerkin Trio, BCNR, Life Without Buildings

Arrive for doors, this is a very stacked lineup.
