Bristol based quartet My First Time have their foot firmly on the accelerator. Their songs and live performances create a ball of energy that swerves and crashes off anything in its vicinity. With infectious hooks and waspish vocal lines that capture observations of modern society and all its idiosyncrasies–they package these ingredients into three minute post-pop bangers. Without releasing a single track to date, My First Time have already started to sell-out shows. Their demo recordings have received a similar clamour, with Radio 1 and BBC 6Music having aired tracks.

Their first offering ‘Hand In Hand’ is a song about the effect of a busy working life in a new place coupled with the feeling of isolation and anxiety that goes with that. Following the release of ‘Hand In Hand’ which was described as “perfectly emulating the kind of sun-soaked Canyon comedowns that ease the mind into Sunday mornings.”, the duo has supported acts including Leah Senior, Snowy and JB Patterson and are touring the UK in May 2026 with performances at Alt Escape in support of their debut album ‘Midtown Downtime’ out May 7 via Rainflower.

Speed of Sound are delighted to welcome Lefty Parker to the Shacklewell Arms for a very special London headline show on Thursday, 23rd of April as part of his UK/EU tour. Lefty Parker is a folk singer known for tender grit and lyrical honesty. Starting in Texas, honed his craft in dive bars, small venues, and the storied rooms of Austin’s music scene. As a teenager, Lefty discovered an old Yamaha guitar that belonged to his father. What began with Beatles covers quickly turned into songwriting. His world changed at nineteen when Devendra Banhart invited him onstage mid-show to perform one of his first songs. He worked as a sound engineer at Austin’s famed Cactus Cafe, where he met local artists and began performing. In 2025, Lefty released Ark which was produced by Buck Meek. Ark features contributions from all current members of Big Thief, plus Mat Davidson of Twain. Lefty’s music is inspired by artists like Townes Van Zandt, Leonard Cohen, and Karen Dalton, and his songs often arrive uninvited, like lightning or prayer. His performances are intimate, raw, and grounding. Now back in New York, Lefty continues to record, write, and tour, with a new album in the works. Presented by SPEED OF SOUND EVENTS LTD.

Skinner is Aaron Corcoran, based in Dublin, who writes, records and produces songs about growing up and overcoming a dirt-flecked 21st century existence. The DNA of no wave and post-punk acts like The B52s, James Chance and the Contortions and ESG through to alt-rock touchstones Pixies and Morphine com-bined with an talent for grunge-nodding self-production and pockets of elevated in-strumentation is oozing from Skinner’s music. Debut album New Wave Vaudeville, released January 2025 on Faction Records, references the New Wave Vaudeville music variety freak show that took place at the 57 Club in New York from 1978 to 1983. The club was known for its free-form art shows, a debaucherous wild riposte to creeping commerciality of modern culture of the time, an era that perfectly reflects the rambunctious nature Skinner has brought to this new collection.

Pop Mutations & Freakender present: Mini Skirt + Special Guests MINISKIRT - hit like a sunburn, with a dry, stinging take on modern Australian punk. After rattling the walls of every bar, basement, pub and DIY venue they could find on their 18 stop 2022 European tour, Australia’s favourite post punk sons are back this summer to eat, drink and yell their way across the continent. With their second full length album ready to hurl at the world Mini Skirt continue to deliver their brand of jagged, raw political Aussie punk. New singles and a finely sharpened live show continue to put Mini Skirt at the forefront of the politically inspired noisescape. All grit and no glammer, Mini Skirt’s noisey body of work is underpinned by lyricist and visual artist Jacob Boylan, painting a picture of the modern social climate, every verse and chorus a well-crafted and concise assessment that has the listener replaying each line to be sure they don't miss a word. With a starting spot in France’s Binic Festival and a supporting slot with fellow Aussies Amyl and The Sniffers in Italy it’s clear their sound has takenhold. Paying homage to Australian pioneers such as X and Radio Birdman, Mini Skirts sound remains raw and honest it’s no surprise they remain close to Australian alumni the Cosmic Psychos, and COFFIN. Perfect for fans of Amyl and The Sniffers, Eddy Current Suppression Ring and Viagra Boys.

Gitkin’s music exists somewhere between primal rootsy memory and distant exotic yearning — A dusty bordertown where the familiar blends imperceptibly into the enchantingly foreign. After a long and fruitful run as a bandleader with relentlessly touring party-rockers Pimps Of Joytime and a Grammy-nominated country blues collaboration with Cedric Burnside, multi-instrumentalist Brian J set out to “explore tonalities I’d never messed with,” as he puts it. Reviews of Gitkin’s first two LP’s grappled with descriptors, tagging it vaguely as “cinematic” and comparing it favourably with Khruangbin. True, the music is largely wordless, emotionally evocative, and guitar driven. But it possesses an alluring alchemy all its own. Gitkin’s first release, 2018’s well-received Five Star Motel, amply demonstrated his ease with earthy funk and comfortably-cut rhythm. On his follow up album, Safe Passage, the itinerant guitar slinger broadened his already rich palette with melodies informed by Greek and Middle Eastern modalities, Peruvian Chicha and Tuareg Saharan guitar styles. No gimmick, this juxtaposition of gut-bucket blues and funk low-end with unexpectedly twisting lead phrases highlights the intense flavours found in each savoury ingredient. This is an 18+ event .

Conscious Pilot was founded by Joe Laycock and Jack Sharp as a successor to theatrical punk group Cheap Teeth, the pair birthed the project from their joint love of immersive, beat-driven soundscapes and an exploration of subtle shifts.

Pop Mutations & Freakender present: screensave + Special Guests. Screensaver balance frenetic energy with unsettling tonalities to create rhythmic gloom that rides the new wave to the synth-punk. 
 Spending three years in an incubatory state, the band began as a trans Pacific collaboration between Christopher Stephenson (Spray Paint/Exek) and Krystal Maynard (Bad Vision/ex Polo) in 2016. By 2019 Christopher had long since relocated to Melbourne and the current line up now consists of James Beck (Personal Touch/ex Rat Columns) on drums, Dorian Vary (Soundtrack Music) on bass and Jonnine Nokes (Horse Pills) on second synth. 
 The band has released two full length albums: Expressions of Interest (2021) and Decent Shapes (2023). The latter came out as a split release on Poison City Records (AUS) and Upset the Rhythm (UK) and extended on the bands blend of synth driven post-punk replete with elements of krautrock, dance-punk, new wave and electronica established on their debut. The first single The Guilt found itself in the AMRAP Independent Music Charts top 10 during its first few weeks of release and received praise on Rolling Stone (AUS), Post Trash (USA), Raven Sings the Blues (USA) and PBS FM (AUS). The album has received excellent reviews on NME, KEXP, Maximum Rock ‘n’ Roll and Brooklyn Vegan to name a few.

Baba Yaga's Hut Presents: Adele Dazeem + Queen of Nothing - Free Entry Show at The Shacklewell Arms Adele Dazeem is a band based in east London. Formed in 2020 by singer/guitarist Charlie Hearl, bassist Philippe O’Connor and drummer Frank Andrews, they have developed a sound that fuses a cutting urgency with ethereal ambience. The name comes from an infamous John Travolta mispronunciation - seemingly in contrast to the weight of their music - but the idea of a simple misread name became the starting point for their creative exploration of identity, ego, attachment and the different parts of ourselves. Misère and Deep Sea Hand, released on Sonic Cathedral (Bdrmm, Deary) as one half of their debut EP, Metanoia, have both been played on Radio 6 and Radio X and earned them support shows with cult US shoegazers LSD & The Search For God and Whitelands.

Baba Yaga's Hut Presnts: Tony Jay + The Gabys & DJ Naima Lite - Free Entry Show at The Shacklewell Arms Tony Jay began as a recording project in 2006 and became a live band in 2017, drawing inspiration from failed relationships, lack of sleep, urban blight, a bicycle injury, feline mortality - the list goes on - pairing catchy melodies and hushed vocals with ethereal instrumental tracks. Over the years, the albums have been released by Slumberland, Mt.St.Mtn., Paisley Shirt Records, Galaxy Train, and KiliKiliVilla which cement Tony Jay's status as dejected crooner of the quotidian par excellence. "Michael Ramos has been a fixture of San Francisco’s vibrant indie pop scene, cropping up in Flowertown, Cindy, Sad Eyed Beatniks, and early versions of April Magazine all while maintaining his mysterious persona as Tony Jay." - Raven Sings The Blues. \ The Gabys are a duo made up of Matt Wilkinson and Natasha Bikkul. They write mysterious, eerie bedroom pop from their home in Liverpool. This is Velvet Underground-inspired electric folk music that can roll with 90s New Zealand greats like Dadamah and The Garbage & The Flowers but also has parallels with current San Francisco lo-fi pop moodists like April Magazine and Mister Baby. They have released music with All Gone, Fruits and Flowers, and most recently, A Colourful Storm. Presented by Baba Yaga's Hut. This is an 18+ event

Pájaros Vampiro is a Mexican alternative rock band driven by a DIY ethos, set to perform at Primavera Sound 2026, further solidifying their growing presence within the global independent circuit. In 2025, they released their debut album SE HACE ASÍ, touring more than 26 states across Mexico in support of the record. Throughout their career, they have opened for The Drums and shared stages with Boom Boom Kid, Carolina Durante, and Bestia Bebé, strengthening their footprint within the Ibero-American scene. In 2024, they were featured on the soundtrack of the Netflix film La Gran Seducción. In 2026, the band will embark on a tour across the United Kingdom, France, and Spain, reaffirming both their rapid growth and their commitment to the live experience. Pájaros Vampiro began when Hugo and Abraham, just 17 years old at the time, started making music between skate sessions and rounds of Rock Band. Shortly after, Edi joined on guitar to record Miedo y Deseo, their first EP, tracked in a home studio. The release was raw, urgent punk - songs about growing up in the largest city in the world and feeling angry without fully knowing why. That early material allowed them to tour independently and share stages with the Mexican punk bands they once admired. Their second EP, Buscando Rebeldía, produced by Toño Montes (Los Románticos de Zacatecas), marked a turning point: shifting from accidental lo-fi to a deliberate sonic identity. From there, Pájaros Vampiro evolved beyond being seen as teenage punks and began drawing attention from specialized media, establishing themselves as one of the most compelling emerging acts of their generation. Now with a sharper sound and an increasingly defined identity, Pájaros Vampiro shows no signs of slowing down. 2026 finds them expanding, touring relentlessly, and taking SE HACE ASÍ to new territories. This isn’t a future promise - it’s a band fully in motion. Presented by Bad Vibrations 18+ only (photo ID required)
