A gig held at The Thunderbolt on Wednesday 6th March. The event starts at 20:00.
FOXHOLE
Foxhole is a four piece alternative rock band from the South West, UK. Their first EP 'In Case of Inspiration, Pick Up' was released in 2021 and sent shockwaves through the local scene. After a lineup change at the end of 2021, the band welcomed Andy Obeyesekere on lead guitar and Mitch Strauss on bass. They shortly released their second EP titled ‘Brainstorm’ in March 2023 and with their three night EP launch across three venues with seven bands across as support, they solidified their name in the local scene as a notable up and coming band in the South West. Their tight live energy has converted many since their inception. A unique blend of indie, grunge, emo and metal make for a heavy-hitting wall of sound, with plenty of riffs and sudden chaos when you least expect it.
ELEPHANTS WITH SHOTGUNS
Elephants With Shotguns are a heavy alt-rock bass and drums duo hailing from Southampton with sound comparisons ranging from Queens of the Stone Age to Tigercub, from Royal Blood to Death From Above 1979 all culminating in a unique cocktail of original, energetic power-riffery in the guise of a sweat drenched evening of eardrum satisfaction.
DYSTONIA
Harvey Watson, Dylan Hoare and Josh Marriott, the three horsemen of post-rock outfit ‘Dystonia’. They formed in late 2023, adding redolence to Bristol but have roots in Leeds, Wales, Swindon and Croatia.
Having crashed between the historically testing pillars of renowned venues like The Fleece and SWX, they aim to tour, release and become dominant figures in the post rock scene.
Having just been signed under Alpaca Presents’ management team, they are rightfully garnering the curiosity of many.
They stretch guitars, fray bass, pull vocals and distort percussion under the constant pressure of obscurity. When on stage, the passion for the music they create as well as the bond between the members is very apparent.
Behind the loving embrace of vice and misunderstood virtue is the shimmering ambition of ‘hitting the road’ with the intention of creating amazing experiences for audiences all over the country to remember for years to come.
Give a person five minutes of validation and you give them a lifetime of understanding, everything around them that they can’t make sense of suddenly given hope. Existentialism gutturally packed into the living past.
Basically, they are three dudes creating heartfelt music with a message and are eager to share it with the world.
Entry requirements: no age restrictions
