The Toothpicks @ The Metro, 24th Nov

“The Toothpicks’ biggest show to date sounds suitably huge, giant bricks of off-axis art-rock falling off the ceiling and crashing all around us. Mind-alteringly talented to start with, tonight’s set rips the fixtures off the building, a wild party of unhinged skill roaring through the air around us.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | TikTok

Euterpe @ The Metro, 24th Nov

“Euterpe have no conception of guardrails, boundaries, leashes, or limits. Everything about this set is well and truly off the rails, cheerfully and happily in the long grass and oblivious to the world around of norms and rules.

ALIYA @ Oxford Art Factory, 23rd Nov

“ALIYA’s set misbehaves like a much-loved but wayward child, a chest-swelling pleasure that’s also busy biting at your ankles and nicking the cash from your wallet. A paint-blistering voice crashes over it all, raising and singeing eyebrows at the same time.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | TikTok

NEAV @ Oxford Art Factory, 23rd Nov

“NEAV’s dark pop is all solo, all acoustic on stage tonight, showing off the smart songwriting underneath and letting that shuddering, soaring voice shine like a midday sun. Rich as hell, but light as feathers.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | TikTok
