Gigs In Bristol Today

Events on Tuesday 16th June

“\- **Description** - In this event we'll discuss the "crisis in masculinity" that we're facing today. Why are men increasingly being drawn into toxic, hateful, and individualistic ideas? And is there any way to fix it? ”
From:

“Many modern feminists see the European witch-hunt (waves of witch-hunting campaigns across Europe and the British colony in north America from 15th to 18th centuries) as a genocide of women. As such, they see witch-hunting as directly connected to women's oppression today: modern feminists are 'the daughters of the witches that they failed to burn.' ”
From:

“**Buster Keaton** is regarded as one of the comic geniuses of the Silent Movie era, and his films contain an array of clever visual jokes, slapstick, and extraordinary stunts, all of which he performed himself in the days long before Health and Safe executives held sway. His films are rarely seen today owing to their silent nature, but this is a rare chance to see them with a live improvised soundtrack!”
From:

“In 2025, the band released Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow an ambitious new album featuring USS, Protest The Hero’s Tim MacMillar and Abdominal. As well, the band embarked on an ambitious 80-plus-date tour spanning Canada, the USA, Mexico, Belgium, Scotland, Sweden, England, France, Lithuania, and more. Along the way, they’ve shared stages with heavyweights like Foo Fighters, The Flaming Lips, Jason Isbell, The Wailers, and others.”
