THE HOBKNOBS (NDL, FtMO Lewsberg/The Klittens)
JT Soar and Coffee Beat Presents... THE HOBKNOBS (NDL) The Hobknobs are Yaël Dekker (The Klittens) and Arie van Vliet (Lewsberg). To describe the music of The Hobknobs, use the word natural. And what you will mean is: fitted to itself; essentially, albeit politely, uninterested in whether or not youre looking. You might think of early rock n roll and youll be thinking of its energetic nonchalance and honest economy minus any sentimentality. Sonically and lyrically, the elements of the songs dovetail showing how they move but giving no temptation to take them apart. The duo Yaël Dekker and Arie van Vliet have long admired each other's music but their collaboration here is not a closed conversation -- at the same time colloquial and cerebral, we are invited in, if we can hang. As a natural thing is self-possessed, The Hobknobs deftly maneuver so that we stand with them, hearing and seeing with them, and find that each song is a place to be. Karina Gill (Cindy) POSSUM KIDS (Redux) (Notts) Incredible emotive breezy slacker pop-gaze stripped back into a vox/guitar/violin trio... Been working on an album with em recently and it's absolutely stunning... +1 tbc All Ages Show Free PA Tickets BYOB Nobody turned away for lack of funds.. JT ACCESSABILITY INFO..

Dez Dare // Island Apes double headline

Dez Dare // Island Apes double headline

12 Sept 2025 - 12 Sept 2025

Sonic Masala sees out the summer and brings in the autumn with a rare double headline bill from UK acts, with an opening act from Australia - because why not Dez Dare - Brighton-via-Australian garage psych synth wonk wildman Dez Dare is touring on the back of new album CHERYL! Your Love Shines Down Like A Supernova's Death DIY psych punk Dez Dare pits sledgehammer riffs and lo-fi electronics against a world of monsters... dynamically armed with a ten-pronged set of lyrical barbs and musical hooks that, once heard, sink deep and hold fast." The Wire [Edwin Pouncey] "Incredibly creative and productive... the result is vibrant psychedelic noise herb punk, somewhere between BEVIS FROND, ALIEN SEX FIEND, DINOSAUR JR, BLACK ANGELS and the Canadians HOT GARBAGE. Crazy Crazy!" OX Fanzine [7/10] "Sounds like MONSTER MAGNET and DEVO caught in a drug bust. Heavy groove riffs and psych experimentation nestle up to chirping 8-bit synths and crunchy beats, accompanied by spoken/barked vocals... Highly unique and highly recommended." MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL "The Australian psych-punk legend is a true underground hero." Clash https://www.dezdare.com/ https://dezdare.bandcamp.com/album/cheryl-your-love-shines-down-like-a-supernova-s-death Island Apes - Nottingham's mysterious purveyors of outsider psych weirdness dont play often but when they do it means something. Playing a rare headline show in town, this promises to blow out the cobwebs and the mind https://islandapes.bandcamp.com/album/island-apes Lunar Dirt (Aus) - opening is this Brisbane two piece, their first show of their extensive UK/EU tour. Lunar Dirt takes the controls with their new soundtrack to the Japanese sci-fi cult classic. Released in late 2023, Chapter One reanimates six of the film's most memorable scenes - the narrow escapes and near misses - with all the tension, terror and undying hope of the mission beyond. Live drums. Analog synths. It's a retrofuturist exploration of space and time, from the depths of the cosmos to the centre of the dance floor. There's a definitive krautrock energy with the hypnotic electronic components matching the very tight and pocket-centric drumming. Layers are incrementally introduced with care and they have a potent effect even if the melodies or arpeggiations are simple, there's a considered, in-the-moment feel to each sound, producing an atmosphere far greater than the sum of their parts. - Stew Magazine Vol 3, No. 1 https://www.instagram.com/lunar_dirt/ https://lunardirt.bandcamp.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watchv=99AfWRZ6mSE All Ages Show BYOB JT ACCESSABILITY INFO..
