The Louisiana

Liverpudlians A Lesser Version pilot this month’s edition of Cellar Door, their sharp, emo-fied wall-of-sound shoegaze coming in hot after a Green Man Rising tipping at last year’s fest. Catch ‘em in cahoots with Studio 20’s rising avant-rock, uncanny post-folkers Foot Foot, Norman D Loco’s cavernous slowcore, and the usual glut of basement-dwelling visual artistry. A Lesser Version at The Louisiana.

Delay-drenched psychedelic hardcore assault bursting outta Montreal straight into your earholes. Faze’s acid-damaged, bass-heavy punk feels like GEL covering Spacemen 3 in a wind tunnel – since that’ll probably never happen, catch us front left at the Louie. Scathing stuff FFO: Bib, S.H.I.T., Gag, Destruction Unit, Impalers. Punk has reached the Loui!

Shoun Shoun are launching their 2nd album Drip. Very special guests are Two Tonne Machete & The Brackish.

Now here’s some post-punk we can really believe in: the anthemic sheengaze of The Sound meets Andrew Eldritch-esque vocal melodrama on top of Boy Harsher’s synthwave bounce. Theo Vandenhoff tick all the right boxes in a tantalising testament to Cellar Door’s talent barometer, alongside Neko’s bit-crushed post-kraut groove. Big FFO: John Maus, Drab Majesty, She Past Away, Blonde Redead. Theo Vandenhoff + Neko + Losing Dogs

Cellar Door take on IWD with their patented music and visual artistry megastack! Ziplock lead the charge with thunderous Windmill scene-launched electropunk, alongside head-melting noisegaze from Speedial, Horsefair’s potent post-rock convulsions, and Limited Ltd’s muscular punk stylings + a basement-stuffed exhibition of local artists.
