🔥 MATH-ROCK & PROG HEAVEN AT HOT BOX 🔥
Brighton & London’s instrumental icons @wearepolymath are heading to Chelmsford for a night of mind-bending, genre-fusing soundscapes! Expect a masterclass in progressive rock, blending Ethio-Jazz, Post-Rock, and heavy Math-Rock vibes inspired by King Crimson, Omar Rodríguez-López, and Mulatu Astatke.
Opening the night: Essex’s own @big_in_sheboygan , packing complex, shifting time signatures and sprawling prog energy into tight, explosive 3-minute tracks.
If you love technical riffs, deep grooves, and zero fluff, this double-header is unmissable.
