What's On Saturday 15th January in Bristol

Events on Saturday 15th January

“After this bill passes, practically all effective peaceful protest tactics will be criminal offenses with prison time. Toppling Colston's statue would land you a 10 year sentence but even attending a 'noisy' demonstration like the one this Saturday, or sharing it on social media could land you in jail. This is without hyperbole the biggest assault on human rights in generations.”

“The Republic of Georgia, in the Caucasus mountains, boasts a rich and ancient tradition of complex polyphony. Like Georgia itself, the music sits at the crossroads between Europe and Asia, yet has its own, truly unique character. It blends challenging, dissonant and microtonal chords with sweet and lyrical close harmonies. Ancient pagan, Shamanic ritual songs with soaring liturgical chants. Powerful work songs, rousing wedding songs, and modern, composed songs all continue this music into the present day.”

“MADMADMAD - Are a jazz trio filtered through analogue electronics to create a mad jam of 70s ray guns, disco sounds, krautrock, acid squelches underpinned by freeflowing funk sensibilities. Their latest album ‘More More More’, was recorded in their experimental warehouse lab, infused with the band’s alien live techno set, oozing dance bass lines, spiky guitars and fizzing drums, shaped by the mutant sounds of 70’s no-wave, post-punk and disco.”

“The Chalk Outlines are a lively 8-piece playing a decidedly dark and twisted take on 2-tone. The band lace fat horn lines, samples and twin vocals over a pumping rhythm section to create their unique and upbeat sound. Expect tunes that draw as much from Balkan, Latin and Jungle influences as they do from traditional Ska and Reggae that will keep you stomping but not quite sure what’s coming next.”
