Shoun Shoun at The Louisiana
See event details

A gig held at The Louisiana on Saturday 11th April. The event starts at 20:00.


Shoun Shoun No wave. No logic. Somewhere between art rock and electronica. Stuttering drums, liquid sex bass, post punk squonk and sporadic noise constitute a sound like no other. Berlin has spent years battling ferocious noise in Bristol bands like Big Joan, Male, The Final Age and Rose Kemp, but finally felt an uncontrollable urge to do something totally different. The result is a set of songs of alienation, masculine toxicity, racism, French criminals, and sex brought to life by musicians whose collective CV includes other Bristol legends like The Fantasy Orchestra and Chikinki. The band have earned supports with heavy weights such as the cult band Prolapse, Desperate Journalist, Miki Berenyi (Lush), and Freya Beer alongside festival appearances at Dot to Dot Bristol, Unorthodox Paradox, Psych Fest Glastonbury, Koz Fest, Godney Gathering, Astral Fest Bristol and more. Aired on BBC Radio 6, Louder Than War Radio, Resonance FM, Exile FM and many more "...a brazen swagger dashed with a kind of metallic horror" Freq.org.uk "The perfect breeding ground for a new immense sound" Noizze "Shoun Shoun erupt in Siouxsie-summoning battle cries, moody post-punk dirges and goth-cabaret theatrics. Propelled by a punishing rhythm section and thick plumes of goosebump-inducing distortion, this is uncompromising ferocity" Headfirst Two Tonne Machete Feminist alt punk powerhouse Two Tonne Machete are loud yet melodic and politically driven. Their songs tackle issues such as misogyny, control and dissent with crunching bass, sharp guitars and forceful vocals. The Brackish Thrillingly unique instrumental post-punk psych band with alumni of This is the Kit, Zun Zun Egui.

Entry requirements: 16+, any under 18s accompanied by 21+ adult 1:1 ratio
