FLAG FEN soundcloud.com/flag-fen
Bio-electrical resistance developed by former members of Big Joan. Project leaders A & K are assisted by colleagues Liam O'Connell (My Octopus Mind) and Steve James (Geisha / Steveless / Megabats). "If Druidism went electric, it would sound like Flag Fen" - Bristol In Stereo.
BEAK> DJ SET https://beak.bandcamp.com/
Rare extended DJ set from the mighty Bristol out-rockers. The trio's music touches on psych, kraut, hip-hop and film soundtracks so expect this to go straight in at the deep end.
SEITZ https://seitz.bandcamp.com/
Hailing from Germany via California and incubated in Bristol, singer and pianist Carolin Seitz formed Seitz in 2015, a glacial chamber trio playing vast, microcosmic torch pop.
SCHNAUSER https://schnauser.bandcamp.com/
Sunny psych/prog/pop/rock with an undercurrent of corrosive evil.
"What a wonderful technicolor nightmare this is. Nothing is missed under their cracked magnifier, and it's all brilliantly hummably horrific" - Prog Rock Magazine
"Schnauser are like that guy you work with who seems nice but is secretly building a shrine made of children’s fingernails in his house." - The Joy Collective

Background - the Netham Road fire
In the early hours of Saturday 15th December 2018, the rehearsal space used by several different Bristol based bands and musicians caught fire. Thankfully nobody was hurt, but the bands have suffered big losses. Guitars, keyboards, amplifiers, pedalboards, drum hardware and accessories are gone. The loss is devastating for many of us, not just on a financial level, but on a personal and creative one as well.
