After cutting their teeth on Bristol’s music scene, Yesterday’s Girl are bringing their debut headline show to The Croft. Since late 2024, the five-piece have quickly become known for their colourful take on indie new wave, pairing eighties style with seventies sensibility.
Described as “a niche vinyl collection in the attic with all the best unreleased songs from the ‘80s in it", their playful live energy has seen them earn proinent festival slots, venue shows and a Bristol 24/7 feature following their surprise headline performance at Bristol Old Vic. Praised as “captivating” (Sofar Sounds) and a “brilliant secret” (Bristol 24/7), they’re ready to open the doors on their most personal show yet, inviting audiences into their world up close and personal.
Bellyful
Bellyful call themselves a Neo-Trip-Hop duo, weaving dark hip-hop beats, lush synths and hypnotic vocals into a sound both ethereal and visceral. Hailing from Bath and Bristol, their influences are within arm’s reach, drawing on the shadowy electronica of ’90s Bristol and the haunting vocals of Portishead’s Beth Gibbons.
But Bellyful aren’t anchored by nostalgia. Instead, they turn their gaze towards the anxieties of the present, refracting them through textured 808-style acid bass, live sax and violin. Fin Roach (production, keys, guitar) and Lily Rainbow (vocals, bass) take the foundations of trip-hop and reshape them for the unease of being young in 2026.
