AEG and Kili Presents Kai Bosch Presented by AEG and Kili. This is an 18+ event.

Staged under the cover of darkness and imbued with a subtle yet high stakes sense of emotional drama, the music that 20-year-old Kai Bosch crafts makes a lot of sense if you look not at where he’s come from, but where he’s been. Having uprooted himself aged 17 from the sleepy town of Polzeath, Cornwall to the throbbing nightlife of Berlin before then moving to London, the singer’s forthcoming debut self-titled EP is a release as indebted to the pursuit of sensation as its author. Nodding to the nocturnal sensibilities of James Blake, the gentle emotional surges of The XX and the crisp picture-painting of Lorde, its four tracks wear their emotions on their sleeves, evoking hazy lost nights and fleeting moments caught mid-breath. “With me it’s always been about creating music that sounds like how it feels,” Kai explains. “I want to make songs that sound like 5am, that blue light, lying next to someone who’s not in love with you anymore – taking that silent sadness and turning it into sound. What synth sounds like being broken up with at 5am?”

Through its uncompromising music and diverse range of influences, the group seeks to represent Chicano heritage and connect with the community with its songs. The majority of the band's lyrics are in Spanish, as Quiet Fear explores various social and political themes. The band's songs are outspoken commentaries on issues such as oppression, power imbalances, racism, and the struggle for acceptance. This is music by the people, for the people, as the band rightfully puts it. (FFO: Saetia, State Faults, Chalk Hands) wreathe Wreathe hail from London, featuring ex and current members of Morrow, Mortar, Arboricidio and Fall of Efrafa. Vehemently antifascist, brooding, melancholy emotive crust. (FFO: Tragedy, Ekkaia, Madame Germen) death of youth Death of Youth are an Emo influenced Hardcore band from London. With their music rooted firmly in Hardcore, they also draw on influences from Screamo/Skramz, Midwest Emo, and early/mid 2000's Post Hardcore to create their own unique wall of sound paired with lyrics drawing from both social/political topics and personal experiences. (FFO: Touché Amore, Departures, La Dispute) Presented by Grilled Clams Promotions. This is an 18+ event

Flash Delirium & Paper Dress Live are proud to bring you a fantastic bill of psych, shoegaze, post-punk and prog goodness with 3 of our favourite bands: sierpinski Southsea based Reverb Rock / Shoegaze band Sierpinski were formed in early 2020. The sound of grooving basslines and haze drenched riffs are channeled from the spirit of 60’s Psych to early 90’s Shoegaze. houndshark London-based singer-songwriter 'Houndshark' broke onto the scene with the eclectic and unstoppable debut-single ’Pilotfish’, that features Rubee Fegan, singer of the Cologne Post-Punk band SMILE. With dissonant guitar chords soaked in reverb, blending together elements of art-rock, post punk, and neo-psychedelia, Houndshark creates a unique sound, that occasionally calls back to artists like Morphine, King Krule, or Modest Mouse. Hidden behind mime-like bright white face paint, he usually performs accompanied by a four-piece band and, even before having released his debut single, opened for Danish Post-Punk veterans Iceage. wish Wish are Milo (guitar/vocals), Rosie (Sax), Henry (Bass) and Kitcatt (Drums) unified by the space between the weird and beautiful, the want for something more than the void. Wish made space groove rock - psychedelic jazz infused rock, taking inspiration from Andalusia, Latin grooves, traditional irish and Balkan music. Wish have exploded on the scene playing weekly across London since their debut in October, garnering a small and growing following of dedicated supporters.
