Headfirst Editor's Pick
"With deadly collabs ranging from Moor Mother to Nick Hakim, we don’t know whether to expect abrasive white noise or slippy, crystal-clean rap. It's a 6 piece band and perhaps our strongest recommendation of autumn 2021. Take note."

A gig held at Strange Brew on Friday 19th November. The event starts at 20:00.
GIG OF THE YEAR KLAXON, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!
Can't put into words how excited we are to welcome PINK SIIFU to Strange Brew on his debut EU tour.
The man is a breath of fresh air in the hip-hop/rap game and we can't actually believe he's bringing his full 6-piece band 'NEGRO '6!' in tow.

"For Siifu, 'NEGRO' is part of a continuum of black music that extends from punk pioneers Death and Bad Brains to contemporary punk-leaning rap outfits like Death Grips and Ho99o9, from The Last Poets to Sun-Ra and Ras G."

Now with added tour support FLY ANAKIN!
"Rapper and producer from Richmond, Virginia, who was described by Madlib as "one of the illest MCs". He's the co-founder of Richmond rap collective Mutant Academy and one-half of FlySiifu with Pink Siifu.

They will be joined by the most exciting artist in this land for our money; Alpha Maid!
Their debut LP 'Chuckle' was released in March on C.A.N.V.A.S. A confounding mix of hi-fi post-punk, skuzz-bass, post-industrial and lo-fi pop, couldn't be more Schwet if they tried! Full 3-piece line-up for their Bristol debut. Boomkat said it better than we can...
"There's an eccentric spirit that recalls both Dean Blunt and This Heat in its disregard for stasis or formality. Weird and brilliant angular fuzz from South London CURL member Alpha Maid - highly recommended if you’re into Mica Levi’s Ruff Dog shapeshifter, early Yves Tumor, PJ Harvey’s raw shockout ‘Rid Of Me’ or Klein’s observational art."
