A gig held at Mr Wolfs on Thursday 8th June. The event starts at 20:00.
LOW TICKET WARNING - MORE WILL BE AVAILABLE ON THE DOOR.
Make Friends began as a group of friends inspired by the indie-dance-punk of early era Foals’ ‘Antidotes’, and the melodic alt-pop of Bombay Bicycle Club, which the band then fused to form their fresh take on modern indie music. Their debut 2019 EP forged fan favourite ‘Ellie’, followed by a string of singles and a second EP in 2021. Much of their work was written over various states of lockdown, which supplied a surprisingly creative climate for the band, with lyrics naturally gravitating towards tackling themes of isolation and mental health. To date, the band have seen strong support from BBC Introducing in the West, with single ‘Fever’ even receiving Radio 1 Airplay, as well as being selected for a live session at the esteemed Maida Vale Studios. In 2023 Make Friends are ready for their long-awaited return, with new releases and a debut album incoming, and a fresh live set that showcases a new era for the band.
MAIN SUPPORT: JAMES HUMPHRYS
James Humphrys is a songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist based In Bristol, Uk. Taking influences from bands like Foals, Parcels, Bombay Bicycle Club, and Jungle, James’s music is a unique concoction of upbeat funk-filled dream pop with often surprisingly melancholic lyrics.
James has played venues ranging from Bristol’s Thekla to the Royal Albert Hall, selling out headlines shows at Bristol’s Crofters Rights and London’s The Brink and supported the likes of San Cisco, Shortstraw and Cassia. In addition to multiple sets with London’s Sofar Sounds, James has also joined the line-up at Glastonbury Festival, 2000 Tress and Dot to Dot Festival.
OPENER: HARMER JAYS
Singer, songwriter, and producer Harmer Jays is proving to be a huge force in Bristol's ever-growing music scene. Known for having a unique, thoughtful, and concentrated sonic flow that revolves around his soaring melodic Alt-Pop vocals and careful phrasing. Having performed at prestigious Bristol venues such as Thekla, The Lousiana, and Mr Wolfs all within the last year, his live set has become the jewel in the crown for Harmer Jays.
