A gig held at The Jam Jar on Friday 16th June. The event starts at 19:00.
Your favourite queer hardcore providers are coming back to The Jam Jar to give you an evening of deliciously raucous queer energy.
THE OOZES
The Oozes say Trans Liberation, and they say it loud. If raw and unfiltered queer positivity is what you want, you'll certainly get it from these lot. Seeing them live, the name begins to make so much sense as you can literally feel the energy oozing from them, and in to you. The mixture of pure queer spirit, important and joyful lyrics and vivacous punk sound promises a stunning, hilarious and love filled mosh pit.
BUFFEE
Despite dabbling in dance genres such as donk, hardcore and hyperpop, Buffee definitely brings a punk attitude to their production and performance. Rules are disregarded as hilarious and unnecessary, hair is whipped with ferocity, and tables are flipped by sheer bass magnitude.
BLONDINE
Riot grrrl infused techno grunge' - BLONDINE is a Manchester based 3 piece, that blends genres together to create something that is unique and unsettling. We fell in love with these lot last year at a squat party where they served up pure rebellious energy, and we absolutely cannot wait to host them for their Bristol debut.
PATCHWORKS AFTERPARTY - curated by Muna
2QUID
2QUID are a diverse female DJ duo that specialise in jungle, breaks, garage, techno and electro. Originating from London and Bournemouth, the duo met in 2019 in Bristol, and have been growing their shared love for music and mixing since then. Newly formed of late February 2022, they have erupted onto the scene with a sensational reception, high energy and a collaborative chemistry, building their audience through playing at various events and venues in Bristol and London, such as MOT, The Old Blue Last, Loco Klub and Crofters Rights.
JPEG
Bristol based DJ and producer JPEG takes pride in her ability to create diverse and dynamic music spanning numerous genres such as garage, electro breaks, and jungle. She brings a unique energy and style that engages audiences and leaves a lasting impression.
MUNA B2B SADSUGAR
Two stalwarts of the bristol dance music scene. Sadsugar is a rumble and chugger, and a purveyor of hard swampcore sounds. Expect big bass frequencies and pelting polyrhythms from Bristol’s most bittersweet selector.
Muna is the founder of Patchworks, and known for her hard hitting and diverse sets ranging from 130-160 bpm. She walks the line between dark, gritty club sounds and queer euphoric bangers.
Expect a sexy, fun and high energy b2b with lots of twists and turns!
Patchworks is a grassroots multi-genre party celebrating the diversity and power of FINT (femme/intersex/non-binary-trans) producers and DJs, creating a club environment for everyone but lead by Femme and GNC people. Their values align with those of Soz Lad heavily, as they use events to raise money for mutual aid for the queer community. We will be collecting donations on the night as well as through headfirst, please donate if you can!
IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE QUEER COMMUNITY WHO IS IN NEED OF MUTUAL AID/ WOULD LIKE TO COME TO THE EVENT BUT DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS, PLEASE MESSAGE US ON INSTAGRAM @sozladpresents AND WE WILL DO WHAT WE CAN TO HELP
