Our recent recommendations for Strange Brew
Sell out warning! Not jazz nor rock nor film music, fans just call it ‘Necks music’. That spine-tingling unwinding of instrumental textures and improvised magic - a once in a lifetime gig for those who’ve never witnessed.
The Necks at Strange Brew.
Sell out warning! A rapturous return for Bristol’s travelling post-post-punk / swamp-rock societal satire, careening back into our lives with their demeted disregard for personal health and conventional timing. This is biting and savage guitar Dada FFO: black midi, Fat White Family, Hey Colossus, PiL, the Birthday Party.
LICE at Strange Brew.
Sell out warning! Timeless vampiric post-punk / coldwave atmospherics: buzzsaw guitars, thundering bass, distorted electronics and Nico-worthy jaded melancholy. One of the greatest bands out there right now FFO: The Cure, Pink Turns Blue, The Danse Society, Boy Harsher, Forever Grey, She Past Away.
LEBANON HANOVER at Strange Brew.
Sell out warning! Exultant bluegrass meets Nashville-grade pop - Rachel Baiman’s the most exciting thing in indie-country in recent memory FFO: Ana Egge, Kelly McFarling, Darling West, Dustbowl Revival.

Glorious buzzsaw walls of guitar await you! A Place to Bury Strangers were already the brightest band of the nu-gaze renaissance in 2004. Now they feel like one of the most consistently exciting, constantly noisey, envelope-pushing trips of the past 20 years. Attendance mandatory FFO: MBV, the KVB, Jesus and Mary Chain, the Horrors, Asobi Seksu, The Soft Moon, DIIV.
