Grails at Exchange
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Sell out warning! The scorched earth prophets of post-desert-psych assemble! Grails’ singular soundworld of cinematic widescreen guitar, free jazz squall and dub-like constructions echoes into infinity. One of Portland’s greatest cvlt offerings since Jackie-O Motherfucker, completely mandatory FFO: Morricone, Sun City Girls, GY!BE, Earth, Mars Volta, Guardian Angel."

GRAILS
+ Support from James Blackshaw

7pm doors
£18 adv

GRAILS have steadily and stubbornly pushed against the staid cliches of instrumental music and towards new sonic frontiers, creating heavily textured albums, stacked deep with epic hooks and inventive instrumentation. GRAILS carry echoes of the classic bands of many genres, but they combine those various styles onto a single record, under one umbrella of musical freedom.

They are the renowned stylistic globetrotters of a fanatical underground record collecting scene, able to hybridize their disparate musical heritage with grace and confidence to build new languages out of genres that were never intended to work together.

Exchange has a small ramp entrance from the street. Our bar and main event space are on the ground floor and we have an accessible toilet. If you need any other info on accessibility, please contact [email protected]

Entry requirements: 14+ (under 18s must be accompanied by an adult)
