The band was born when guitarist George landed on his brother Johnny’s sofa in Colchester after abandoning a job in a Midlands petrol station for the dazzling lights of Essex. They didn’t have a plan. But they had guitars. With explosive live performances of singalong anti-anthems, Pet Needs began smashing sets on stages throughout the UK, screaming stories of disastrous job interviews, self-destruction and heading down the river on an inflatable kayak. They continued throughout 2019 at a blistering pace.

Musician/songwriter known for her collaborations with synth specialist Stephen Hindman as well as for the dark atmospheres of her solo material.

Cute Owl Promotions proudly presents: tAngerinecAt, Ecka Mordecai and éntha as part of the London leg of tAngerinecAt's UK Tour. An amazing night of highly individual music. Tangerinecat tAngerinecAt was formed in 2008 in Ukraine as a collaboration between Ukrainian born Eugene Purpurovsky and English born Paul Chilton. Their music absorbed the musical, poetic and social forms of Ukrainian and Soviet counterculture; the classical music skills, composition, directing and stage experience of Eugene as a singer, actor, poet and musician in solo and various musical projects - from classical to metal, since 1990, and his experience living in rough social and economic conditions and resisting authoritarian structures. Together they traveled to remote places in the Carpathian Mountains gleaning from the local music culture. Add to this witches brew influences from EDM, blues, metal, art-rock.., and their persistent use of unusual musical instruments most notably the hurdy-gurdy, - and you will get raw powerful cinematic and deeply atmospheric electronica with punk attitude that touches the inner most part of the human personality and is reminiscent of a tapestry with many different details. They have four independently released, successfully selling albums that have had airplay on BBC 2, BBC 3 and BBC 6. The band has toured internationally in Ukraine, UK and Russia from 2010 and since relocating to UK in 2016 have quickly gained momentum, intensively touring with headline shows in London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol, Brighton, Lancaster, Hull and nearly everywhere in between resulting in them having a large number of fans all over the UK and organize their own nomadic festival of unusual music called Cute Owl. "Watch out for: tAngerinecAt... this is some of the most powerful music I have heard in a long time..." - LOUDER THAN WAR "I've never seen someone play a hurdy-gurdy so punk..." - DEVIL'S DYKE NETWORK tAngerinecAt brought not just synth to the table, but a whole range of physical, classical instruments into the mix most noticeably their use of the hurdy-gurdy, to make their music the deep notes of severe doom and dread that gave it the feeling of a rave in a mausoleum...- LEFTLION "Eugene is a fantastic singer, a ranter and belter with occasional glassware-shattering screams. As abrasive noise went, I liked them a whole lot..." - ROCKNERD http://www.tangerinecat.net Ecka Mordecai Ecka Mordecai is a 'cellist who composes and plays with ideas around gravity and the body. With a background in renaissance and improvised musics, performance and sound art, her live shows are dynamic; a merging of melody, song, and abstract form. She has worked and collaborated with: David Toop and Rie Nakajima, Andrew Chalk and Tom Scott, Thurston Moore, Sam Weaver, Kate Armitage, David Birchall. She has performed at the Hepworth Gallery, White Cube (Bermondsey), Islington Mill and Fort Process (Newhaven).

Great abstraction meets futurism in the éntha's complex philosophy, which truly opens in the live performances, taking audience into never-ending journey through the oceans of thick electric shine and melodic drone... '...one-man shoegazer éntha delivers a wall of guitar noise akin to Kevin Shields or The Telescopes, backed with processed, industrial loops and pads. A tone poem for a near-future dystopia, with twinkling neon melodies struggling to be free from the bludgeoning noise.' - BagThing 'It makes sense that the first time I heard this music I was alone in a field in England, lights from a city illuminating the sky ahead.' - Zen Zsigo (Cremation Lily) https://soundcloud.com/enthamusic Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/993021217535711

Melos Kalpa formed in 2019 around the vision of Tom Relleen; a quintet of musicians employing unconventional instruments and strategies to make music that exists somewhere at the intersection of improvisation, minimalism and sublimated reverie. Musicians Agathe Max (Abstract Concrete, Papivores, These Towns), Jem Doulton (Thurston Moore Group, Too Many Things), David John Morris (Red River Dialect) perform via the conduit of producer Marta Salogni's intricate tape preparations, which create rich textures, delays and distortions of their unique instrumental palette (marimba, vibraphone, violin, guitar, mandolin, Buchla Music Easel and more). The Silver Field is a sound world of Coral Rose Kindred-Boothby. Voice, tapes, bass, samples, synthesis, strings, reeds, drums, small sounds, big sounds, sunlight, moonlight, a lot of water. Using her modular synthesiser and other self-built electronic instruments, she weaves together song-soundscapes, creating a rich and dream-like tapestry of sound that draws from folk music tradition, experimental electronics and psychedelia.

Lima Limo Presents: Loa EP Launch @ The Old Church, Stoke Newington The Lima Limo family are coming together for Loa's debut EP Launch @ The Old Church, Stoke Newington with support from aden. Loa is a collaboration between Rick Leigh and Genevieve Dawson, marking a new beginning in their long musical partnership. While working on each other’s songs respectively they discovered a shared musical language and a love of rich harmony, combined with lyrical and melodic simplicity, where space and depth could both exist simultaneously. Both working and living in South-East London, they crossed paths with producer and pianist Sam Beste (aka The Vernon Spring), and with his guidance Loa slowly emerged. Through regular writing sessions, intimate shows to test new songs and an intentional recording process with Sam, the project has blossomed to something tender, original and soulful. They are delighted to be joined by Eden Girma (performing as aden) who is a multi-instrumental musician hailing from Madison, WI. Having grown up at the nexus of widely varying and vibrant musical traditions, they compose through a variety of audio-visual-technological media - bridging realms such as popular music, improvisatory collaboration, expressionism, and experimental electronics. Through a genre-bending ear and a poetic lyricism, they aspire to create art that not only resonates with individual hearts, but brings people closer together in a spirit of intimacy and empathy. Presented by Lima Limo Records. This is an 18+ event.

MIRROR TV PRESENTS: MAMUTHONES BACK TO LONDON! Mamuthones return in 2025 with a new album on Rocket Recordings. 'From Word To Flesh' is their first long-player since 2018's 'Fear On The Corner'. Composed of 7 tracks for almost an hour of music, the album differs from the band's latest works, signalling at the same time an evolution to the sound and a return to the atmospheres of the very first works. Entirely recorded by the band in several home sessions and "treated and mixed" in the studio by Marco Fasolo with abundant use of reverberation room, tape echoes, analog effects coming from other eras, the album presents dark, esoteric, tense, at times delirious atmospheres. How does one approach the morning after a party for the end of the world This is a question which Mamuthones had to ask themselves, in following up their last album for Rocket, 2018's Fear On The Corner. Replete with psychedelic fortitude and beat-driven hedonism, it's an album that summons a kind of ecstatic fatalism, and initially the band were angling to take this approach and atmosphere further, until their more techno inspired direction was waylaid by the forced insularity of the pandemic. "Yes, a lot has happened indeed and I can easily say that the fears that our previous album was centered around all brutally became all too real"reckons Mamuthones mainman Alessio Gastaldello. Nonetheless, from the aftermath of this uncertain period has risen the still more flourishing realm of From Word To Flesh -a colourful and multi-faceted creation very much befitting the outsider spirit of Rocket's new Black Hole imprint. Drawing on a broad canvas of influences, its more personal approach has heralded a collection of vibrant mantras driven by ritualistic abandon and rich with psychotropic radiance. Seven shamanic ceremonies which drown rhythms and melodies in a black hole of circular sounds like acid mantras.
