See event details

A gig held at The Louisiana on Thursday 24th July. The event starts at 20:00.


BonVILLE is an art-pop project by Swedish singer and songwriter Vendela Lofbom. She writes ambiguous folk-influenced alternative music for people who like the moon and crying in public.

Frome-based 'Shadow Stevie’ arrives with a raw, stormy yet colourful, dream-like sound, rousing layers and flashes of wistful '90’s sad core combining beneath hooky pop tunes that channel early Tegan & Sara and Mazzy Star.

Yet it’s her unique Buckley / Liz Fraser esque-tinged vocals, strong melodies and distinctive sounds that also draw comparisons with Clairo and The Sundays .

There's a charm to the bruised honesty of her songwriting: emotionally-wrenching lyrics that are vulnerable yet facetious, charged by a cinematic sound that is brooding though often bright.

Entry requirements: 18+
