The Old England Pub

Soren Bryce’s transatlantic DIY project is back in town! Tummyache’s spiraling arpeggios and dollops of reverb gradually build to head-banging skronk and clanging percussion, stretched beneath snaking vocals. Supported by some of the finest art-rockers in town, this’ll be a goldmine FFO: ‘00s Radiohead, Nilufer Yanya, Hand Habits, Big Thief. Join us for a night at The Old England, featuring some of the finest up-and-coming bands from headline band Tummyache with support bands Traitors, Palemoon, and Honeyglow.

Not a drum machine in sight for the Neuromancer electro-gothery of Citizenry! Mick Wallace jumps to the fore after playing stickman with Women and Preoccupations; the result’s a radical solo soundworld of MIDI-triggered synth-punk complexity. And hey, the evolution of Bristol’s own Cindy Lee aka Patsy Delve is pretty darn exciting right now. Right on FFO: The Soft Moon, Pop. 1280, Clan of Xymox. Preoccupations/Women drummers solo goth synth project

Earth’s noisiest experimentalists continue to gather under the everlasting Improv’s Greatest Hits banner! In the West Country vanguard, Paling’s mysterious post-rock meltdowns join Limited Ltd’s muscular post-punk stylings; from the northern flank, Edinburgh avant-gardists Raiments deploy playful jazz-drone alongside radical brass/bass pairings from Leeds' Iris Casling and Sam Spencer. IGH we salute you… More improv eclectricity ( word ? )

Anarchic, itchy post-punk infection that you definitely wanna catch – symptoms include doing the art school shuffle and depersonalisation. This ain’t your cut and paste 80s revivalism, Marauder dance to the off-kilter beat of their own careening paranoid funk. Casio-damaged ear-worms and bedroom sci-fi dreams abound FFO: LiLiPUT, eat-girls, Malaria, Essential Logic, The Serfs. One of best the no new wave bands on the planet

Ben Vince returns to Bristol with his first solo release in five years, diving into club terrain with spiralling sax psychedelia and industrial-weight sub-bass. An esteemed noise-maker on the London improv circuit + arch-collaborator (Joy O, Holy Tongue, Astrid Sonne etc), he’s set to spellbind with his kinetic wormholes of looping, FX and tripped-out jazz mutations. HUGE. BEN VINCE live at The Old England, Bristol.
