Kiosk

For our final gig of 2025, Leeds based electronic duo Kiosk throbbed and knocked in to say hello and play some tunes.
Balancing gritty, analogue dance beats and synths and warm, blown out bass tones, Kiosk fall into that lovely, dreamy space of New Wave/ Electro. A large and complex sound for just two people and one that is both sweet and sexy, clubby and wild.
Come back anytime Kiosk, check them out on socials for more.

Pretty Cool

Last up for 2025, Pretty Cool. Charismatic, tender indie-pop with a growl, a sense of humour and well put together. An accomplished set of musicians making it look easy and providing the perfect backdrop for Z, front and centre to command the stage. She sings with brooding intensity offset by charming one liners, sweet melodies and pulls together for a pretty cool band.
That’s all for 2025, see you next year.

The Scuttlers

Last up at our adventure to Kamera Ballroom, were The Scuttlers. Hailing from Bristol, and surprised to find their name the same as the 19th century youth gangs of Manchester, they were a weird pleasure. The mixture of danceable jagged riffs and pushed and pulled out drum fills setting the comfortable backdrop to the surreal stage performance of their singer. Something like Andy Kauffman with a nervous heart of gold, gleam in his eye and the stage dive like Jack Black in School of Rock, the scuttles were serious, poised and surprising. It was interesting, uncomfortable and amazing, cheers to them for making the trip.

Preost
@preost__

We hosted “He whom’s bagpipe huffs between the lines of your favourite novelist’s favourite swag rapper” to the studio back in September. It was weird, it was loud and people got into it and danced like freaks. An upbeat and unexpected journey into genres we can only attempt to name. Welcome Preost beats, bags n vocals with a pinch of his usual collaborators.
