Good Friday - Emily Breeze with War Against Sleep at The Cube
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Sell out warning! A double headliner of winking, witty art-pop at The Cube. War Against Sleep's Duncan Fleming wrestles Cave-esque dark crooning with irresistible psych-pop melodies, while Emily Breeze’s indie-noir is seductive yet melancholic, uncanny yet anthemic… Patti Smith meets Pulp in paradoxical femme fatale form. Two of Bristol’s best underground songwriters here for sure! "

Seating is strictly limited to 100, so book early to be part of this very special evening. Emily Breeze "The poet laureate of glamorous wastrels" (Clash Magazine). Sultry art-pop from Avon’s premiere social commentary chanteuse Emily Breeze, dripping with spoken word sarcasm and rousing torch song choruses. Emily Breeze Music - linktr.ee/emilybreeze War Against Sleep “Duncan Fleming is a genius of a songwriter walking a razor sharp tightrope between deranged humour and classic pop music. War Against Sleep is his ongoing battle against the absurd waking dream that passes for life, in which he plunders the hidden treasures of a thousand charity shop records, writing songs that tingle the spine, move the soul and lift the spirit.” http://waragainstsleep.co.uk/
