Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Feverishly noisy glitch pop at The Louis for your fix of mid-week weirdness: local instrumental experimentalists Socks & Ballerinas are a two-person kaleidoscope of fractured beats, lush loops, and improvisational swerves. Captivating and chaotic FFO: Matmos, Autechre, Tortoise."

Socks and Ballerinas + Omvros + Hexcut live at The Louisiana, Bristol. Thursday, 9th January 2025
Socks and Ballerinas is an instrumental live looping duo based in Bristol, UK, consisting of Leonardo Calamati (guitar, bass and synths) and Katalin Helfenbein (drums).
Formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in 2016, they are just 2 members, although they sound like a 5 piece band.
In their recently released second album “A Bit Jumpy” they fuse distorted and electronic melodies with a good dose of danceable ear-worms. Their music is like a roller coaster: ups and downs, double speed, sudden stops, reversing and unexpected ending.
Entry requirements: 16+, any under 18s accompanied by 21+ adult 1:1 ratio
