SPECTRES / HOUSEWIVES / E B U at Rough Trade Bristol
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Crucial for fans of Girl Band, Gang of Four and Raime’s Albini-esque take on the hardcore continuum. Spectres join them, playing their first local show in almost a year, in the recently opened record shop/café’s backroom. E B U opens proceedings. Tickets:"

A gig held at Rough Trade Bristol on Thursday 26th April. The event starts at 20:00.


Stop one of two of the Spectres / Housewives / E B U package tour. This will be our first show in the new Rough Trade so we thought it would only be right to give the soundsystem a proper test.

SPECTRES will play their first non festival show in Bristol since last April's quite stupid DISSOLVE night at the Exchange. A lot has changed for them since then, but they are still as sonically depraved and caustic as ever and have some upcoming release news on it's way.

HOUSEWIVES are a London based experimental four piece creating music on the boundary between noise and sound. Their austere, rhythmically charged music has a distinctively cold, minimalist edge; abrasive guitars blend with droning bass lines and propulsive, relentless drums.

E B U is fresh from headlining the first night of January's New Year / New Noise where she rightly stunned the audience via sounds and movement from another sphere, as though she was beamed in directly from the temple of Laurie Anderson.
