Socks and Ballerinas + DJ at The Canteen
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Free entry! Feverishly noisy glitch pop at Canteen. Local instrumental experimentalists Socks & Ballerinas are a two-person kaleidoscope of fractured beats, lush loops, and improvisational swerves. Captivating and chaotic FFO: Matmos, Autechre, Tortoise."

- SOCKS AND BALLERINAS (Bristol) -
FFO: Battles | Tobacco | The Evil Usses
Bristol-based instrumental live looping duo making weird sounds and wacky rhythms, consisting of Leonardo Calamati (guitar, bass and synths) and Katalin Helfenbein (drums). Fusing distorted and electronic melodies with a good dose of danceable ear-worms, their music is like a roller coaster: ups and downs, double speed, sudden stops, reversing and unexpected endings.

The duo's brand new album, 'A Bit Jumpy' was released in September 2024 and includes more electronic sounds mixed with their unique analogue style.
