Gigs In Bristol Today

Events on Saturday 7th November

“Based on a famous article published at the high of the pandemic in The New York Times, Homebound explores how structural precarity through caste, religion, class and economic pressures defines and limits the lives of the protagonists, two young men with dreams of escaping poverty. Two Days, One Night exposes our reality today. Workers pitted against workers just to survive. Neoliberalism has normalised precarity. Eroded workers solidarity. The Dardenne brothers’ concern is to explore what it feels like to lie under crushing precarity.”

“This is our reality today. Workers pitted against workers just to survive. Neoliberalism has normalised precarity, eroded workers solidarity. The Dardenne brothers’ concern is to explore how does precarity feels like.  ”

“Finally, we (will be) gather(ed) (t)here today (Sunday 8th November) to lay to rest our dearly departed Big Papa-C. As the prophecy of Yeshua comes to light the fire in every individual willing and open to step into their divinity, the cruelty of the Roman rule fuels it's own demise, and so, this reprise cues our goodbyes, as we bear witness to tomb where evil lies.”
From: Sit Down, Shut Up, Get on Your Knees: The Funeral

“Today, CRASHDÏET hits the stage with a solid line-up, anchored by original member Martin Sweet, promising high-octane performances that honor their legacy while pushing the band into exciting new territory. While Peter London is taking a longer break from the band, Chris Young has stepped in on bass for this album cycle, embracing the challenging role with energy and dedication. Fresh music is on the horizon, with fans set to experience the same signature attitude and intensity that has defined CRASHDÏET from day one.”
