Lice, Blood Wizard at The Louisiana
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Sell out warning! Independent Venues Week hits the ground running with a loaded Louis takeover! LICE take top billing with their signature blend of twisted riffs & surrealist satire - think Mark E. Smith reborn in an industrial swamp-rock fever dream - alongside the angular freak-folk meets heart-on-sleeve punk of Breakfast Records fave Blood Wizard. Huge FFO: Fat White Family, Pigsx7, Black Midi, King Krule, Ezra Furman."

LICE
Bristol’s experimental punk trailblazers, LICE, deliver sharp lyricism, chaotic energy, and a genre-defying sound for an electrifying, unpredictable live experience.
BLOOD WIZARD
Blending raw emotion with angular guitar work, Blood Wizard crafts an eerie, genre-bending mix of shoegaze, alt-folk, grunge, and psychedelic pop—most recently showcased on their acclaimed sophomore album.
LEECHES
Cool band from BOURNEMOUTH.
THE NEW CUT
This Bristol post-punk 4-piece channels The Fall and Wire with modern themes and sharp lyricism. Rising fast since 2021, they’ve supported Buzzcocks and Sprints and landed on Green Man Festival's 2024 longlist. New single "Valuable Customer" out 4/12/24.
EVA PENNEY BAND
Eva Penney’s music treads the line between metaphor and truth, blending alt-folk with electronic and DIY elements for a warm, captivating sound.

Entry requirements: 18+
