Our recent recommendations for The Full Moon & Attic Bar
Sell out warning! Just like Glasto, but with blastbeats instead of hippies! The Blastonbree battle jacket utopia is spawning at the arse-end of Stokes Croft for 12 hours of unrelenting grindgore and brutal death metal cloaked in unreadable typefaces. It’s the only place in Blighty you’re gonna see Dutch slam monsters Korpse this year, so make this act of wanton sonic lobotomy truly count kids!

Krautrock/Psych
Sell out warning! Border-burning avant-rock built from a landslide of ritualistic West African folk onto the flat planes of European industrial grot rock.

A delectable Down Stokes triple bill for all the red-eyed nostalgists! Mild Orange bottle late-afternoon light and turn it into weightless widescreen guitar pop, Magic Shoppe conjure reverb-drenched psych-gaze incantations for narcotic bliss, and Pocket Sun weave textured dream-pop worlds with slow-dissolving synths and delicate jazz flourishes.

Poignant documentary short overlaying archival footage with Dylan Thomas’ uniquely lyrical reflections on Iran. Penned during the production of a botched 50s propaganda film for the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, it’s a powerful reminder of the depth of British colonial exploitation in the Middle East. Director Nariman Massoumi will be on hand to answer questions, with all proceeds going to Bristol Stop The War.
A screening and discussion of Nariman Massoumi's documentary about Dylan Thomas's journey through Iran.
