Big Jeff
“Art for me has been about expressing emotions I can’t explain another way. These paintings highlight my issues with barriers and hidden anxiety and mental health. How people see me is one thing - but internally I sometimes feel completely different. I use art as a way of expressing things that aren’t always easy to discuss.” Big Jeff

Hypothetics
Unrelenting and direct, Bristol’s Hypothetics have a sound that pushes the four to the extremes; as engaging with driven outbursts of noise as they are with thoughtful progressive ideas, we see a band that are happy not settling. Self starters from the off they have built a solid (and growing) fanbase in and around their home city becoming regular players on the gig circuits there while writing and recording out of the creative hub of Factory Studios in Bristol (IDLES, Squid, Massive Attack).

INDIGOS

After self-releasing 2 singles, INDIGOS were picked up by record label Club AC30, who went on to release their debut self-titled EP in 2020, co-produced by Lee Kiernan of IDLES. Their music blends elements of 90's alternative rock and heavy pop to create a sound that while nostalgic, is very much their own.

Keir

Melotone

Stealing Sheep
A real pre-Avatar conundrum that Stealing Sheep, with the help of Bob Earland, Dick Mills and Roger Limb from the Radiophonic Workshop, unravel. ‘La Planète Sauvage’ an ethereal excursion that’s narrated by Roger Limb; like a futuristic Martin Denny, or Dr Who gone ambient techno, with a hint of Forbidden Planet 50 years on. It’s an analogue swirl set in an off-world paradise; a field recording from the future.
This is a creative, generation-spanning, union brought together to score this unique cult film. Don't miss a night of dazzling audio-visual delight with art-pop trio Stealing Sheep and legendary electronic pioneers The Radiophonic Workshop.
