Alpaca Presents | Joely June  + Special Guests at The Louisiana

A gig held at The Louisiana on Saturday 16th September. The event starts at 19:00.


Alpaca Presents | Joely, Grack Mack & The Pack + Part Time Models

Alt folk meets indie pop, Joely June is a soft gut punch of soaring melodies, gritty slide guitar and ear worm hooks that’ll engulf you like a warm hug. Formally known just as Joely, Autumn 2023 marks the start of an exciting new era for this soulful songwriter.

Side-splittingly-relatable, food-for-thought quartet “Grack Mack and the Pack'' have served as a widely appreciated emotional lay-by since their 2022, Bristol-based formation into Indie-Folk/Pop. As if “Phoebe Bridgers” delivered “The Beatles” the emphatic pulse of “Big Thief” in the shape of a terrarium and in doing so dotted the lines between summer and spring with a googly-eyed daisy chain and hazy, clean glass.

The pack take their different influences with a stride of passion to take what former solo frontwoman ‘Grace Mackenzie’ calls ‘melodies of her thoughts’ and turn them into memories with a runtime and sing-a-long hooks calling across the southwest, pulling them along, show by show; where they have waited. Now, the warm crenulated gelling of nostalgia has met the Bristol masses, enthralled in neo-boho looseness like the last puzzle piece soaked in a good bottle of red, carbonated and corked to build the pressure before everything comes, explosively, together.

‘Grace’, alongside the other founding members ‘Connor Smith’ (Lead Guitar) and ‘Will Murphy’ (Bass), having just introduced new percussionist ‘Manashe Kapswarah’ have really set the foundation for promising growth as they cycle the grassroots circuit, just having fun playing their music as a collective of enthusiastic, welcoming friends. Itching to debut on streaming services soon, you can currently find this act exclusively live or on their social media.
