What's On Thursday 13th April in Bristol

Events on Thursday 13th April

“The event is hosted by AdBlock Bristol, a group of Bristol residents and artists with an interest in the impacts of outdoor advertising - whether that's on how we feel about our bodies; the links between consumerism, climate change and pollution; health and wellbeing; the privileging of big business over small; or the public space given to corporate ads vs street art.”

“"Church of the Cosmic Skull is a twofold entity: a new religious movement who seek to free mankind from their material possessions and unify all living beings into a singular cosmic whole; and a 7-piece supergroup based in Nottingham UK playing Prog/Psych/'70s Rock/Pop. For fans of Black Mountain, Ghost, King Gizzard, Uncle Acid. The combination of guitar, hammond organ, electric cello, bass and drums is a tip of the hat to the Mahavishnu Orchestra sound, but with six-part Queen-esque vocal harmonies and Thin Lizzy pop-rock structures."”

“A prolific producer, Jamie Isaac has fast become the key beat-maker amongst his hazy, jazz-addled collective that's been responsible for some of the most exciting and original sounds emanating from ‘south of the river’. Also a classically trained vocalist and pianist, his sonic armoury is complete with a seraphim-like soulful croon and a mastery of the keys; creating a distinct soundscape that unites influences as disparate as Usher, Steve Reich, J.Dilla and Thundercat.”

“Nubiyan Twist are a 12 piece outfit based in Leeds/London, fusing groove driven music from around the world with soundsystem culture and jazz inspired improvisation. A culmination of musicians, DJ's and producers alike, the band strives to encourage artistic and social unity between different cultures and musical styles. Notable influences include the likes of Fela Kuti, King Tubby, J Dilla and Herbie Hancock.”

“Blood Quartet , featuring Mark Cunningham (New York, USA) and the members of Murnau b. (Barcelona, Spain), took shape in early 2015 in Barcelona. A collective ensemble following no wave paths to their own territory of cosmic rock/post jazz/swamp metal/free trance/inverted folk, where improvisation and morphed structures gather into bright/dark psychotropic consequence.”
