ROBI MITCH
Robi Mitch performs music in a variety of modes, fronting his ever-expanding live band, serving up lo-fi soundscapes with samplers or delivering solo serenades from behind a Spanish guitar.
Robi had a folk music upbringing (he was named after ISB's Robin Williamson), and spent formative years in post punk and garage rock bands. These days he draws on a far broader palette characterised by traces of 70s psychedelia and overtones from global music scenes. Robi's experiences as a session guitarist in Taipei lend a unique quality to his sound.
THE CAT MAGIC
The Cat Magic are Laurence Matone, Alexei Hnatiw, Stefan Hnatiw, Adam Coates and Hugo Bishop. Taking influences from progressive pop and other far flung corners, the band marries twinkling guitars against a backdrop of swooning synth pads to create a rich hypnotic texture.
A tightly knit rhythm section keeps the arrangements grounded, driving and punchy. Soft vocals and ominous undertones complete an intriguing soundscape that’s as melodic and colourful as it is unique.
After playing a slew of shows and securing several headline slots in their native Bristol throughout 2019, The Cat Magic returned to the studio just before the pandemic to record their most exciting set of releases yet.
A return to live music in 2021, The Cat Magic bring their unique blend of saturated melodies to the stage with a renewed energy and an upward trajectory.
