“You might have seen Kiri on Comedy Central at the Comedy Store, The Russell Howard Hour or heard her on The Now Show. You might have no idea who she is, that’s fine too. What you should know is, she’s very quietly been going mad for a few years and, to borrow a phrase from Uma Thurman, she’s been ‘waiting… to feel less angry’. So, it’s time to talk about victims, love and lies. You might not believe her, but she’s used to that.”
From: Kiri Pritchard-McLean: Victim, Complex

“This week, it's a Megabill―a special night full of headliners! A celestial alignment of gig diaries and travel means there will be way too many big names in a way-too-tiny room. But that's great news for you, as this will be an intimate night of comedy you won't soon forget!”
From: Comedy w/ Chris Betts, Adam Hess, Laura Lexx

“These experimental rock mongers bring their newly extended 6 piece band to the Cube to celebrate their 2nd video release: a magical piece of animation by Roos Mattaar, an exciting and creative animator based in Bristol.”
From: My Octopus Mind – Video Release Party

“Street Doom pioneers R.I.P. bring the sleaze all the way from the states for this intimate special down the ZED. Psychedelic groove nuts SERGEANT THUNDERHOOF also top the bill for this massive double header.”
From: RIP // Sergeant Thunderhoof

“Bristol based bands Celestial Touch and Grano Salis join together to bring you a diverse evening of psychedelic, ethereal, uplifting and lively music with support from Daniel Quinton and Chloe. Stay till the end for DJ n boogie time £3 ENTRY”
From: Celestial Touch + Grano Salis EP Taster
