Stealing Sheep – The Avant-Pop Rebels You Should Have Been Listening To All Along.
You might have stumbled across Stealing Sheep before—maybe their debut single ‘Shut Eye’ snuck into your feed as a rogue viral meme, lurking in the obscure corners of YouTube and TikTok. But if you haven’t been paying attention, now’s the time
Support from Paradise of the Titans
Paradise of the Titans likes to take the audience on an ethereal synth-pop journey (embellished with pastel jumpsuits and dark-matter entities). With supernatural filmscape vibes, in which Singer/Songwriter Alice’s reversed vocals multiply in intricate harmonies (reminiscent of an alien language). Among a catchy buzz of minimalist synth the otherworldly themes range from magic Walkmans, shamanic spells, alien kisses and Mermaids. Drawing inspiration from Kate Bush, Gary Numan and Grimes’ early work, the 80’s inspired drums (rich with reverb) complete the drama.

Advance £8.80 (inc booking fee) The Tin At The Coal Vaults
Cheap Dirty Horse are a big rowdy queer trash folk-punk band from Nottingham. Blending acoustic and electric guitar with banjo, accordion, bass, drums, and sometimes mandolin, they write energetic, joyful protest music. They sing about trans rights, dead billionaires, and the importance of doing the things you love. They sing about grief, octopuses, and stealing shit. Angry, but always empowering.

Slash Need:
A confrontational, camp and seductive dramaturge. Toronto’s industrial performance art outfit Slash Need have earned a reputation, for putting on high-energy theatrical live performances. The group craft songs that slither, satirize, and scream.
Served up raw, Slash Need’s distinct style of propulsive techno and metallic darkwave serves as the backdrop to an unpredictable, ever-changing, and communal performance piece.
The Mall:
The Mall is music for punks who dance. In the suburban wasteland of middle America, malls exist as decaying artifacts of conspicuous consumption–forgotten tombs haunted by the ghosts of capitalism’s failures. Using sequencers and analog synths, the Mall’s Mark Plant raises the dead to get glamorous amidst decay. Fusing the shimmering, plastic qualities of 80s dance electronica with the punishing, visceral energy of midwestern hardcore, the Mall soundtracks the liminal space between beauty and anger, celebration and cynicism, resilience and destruction. Performances are as ephemeral as kisses in a movie theater in 1987–and more lethal than radiation fallout from a space probe. The Mall experience is spasming, ecstatic technical disaster.
Hey Budapest:
Coventry’s newest Industrial Techno Fiend

KEELEY, fronted by singer, guitarist, songwriter and enigmatic Dubliner Keeley Moss is a band brimming with songs showcasing the breadth of her songwriting. They bristle with lush harmonies, muscular beats and inventive atmospherics, weaving gleefully between indie-rock sub- genres and further establishing Keeley Moss as one of Ireland’s most creative songwriters.
In her songwriting, Keeley Moss continues her ongoing fascination with the murder and short life of teenage German backpacker Inga Maria Hauser, who was brutally murdered in Northern Ireland in 1988 and whose case remains unsolved despite many promising leads pointing to the culprits. As an authority on the subject, she recently appeared in “Murder In The Badlands”, a moving BBC documentary that further explores Inga Maria’s tragic demise, and a brand-new film centred around Keeley’s involvement with the case is in development.
The live band is currently a trio featuring Keeley Moss on guitar and vocals, Lukey Foxtrot on bass and former Morrissey drummer Andrew Paresi.
In 2024 the band is enjoying the successes of headline shows and being the tour support of choice for Echobelly, The Smyths and Miki Berenyi amongst others.
KEELEY’s new album ‘Beautiful Mysterious’ is released on October 18 2024 via Tiny Global Productions.
Atalhos:
Arriving like Brazil’s answer to The War On Drugs, Atalhos combine the reverb-rinsed touches of 80s’ Springsteen, the gentle grandiosity of Arcade Fire and the day-dreaminess guitar pop of Real Estate or Beach Fossils to create music as touching as it is timeless14+ Show (Under 18s to be accompanied by an adult)

Seb Rochford’s Finding Ways
In 2003, drummer Sebastian Rochford formed Polar Bear – a contemporary jazz group that, over the next decade, helped define a new era in British music. Their sound was bold, open-hearted, and influential, earning two Mercury Prize nominations and widespread acclaim. Since then, Seb’s distinctive voice has been heard across a broad spectrum of music, collaborating with artists including Patti Smith, Damon Albarn, Grace Jones and Brian Eno. This year he returns as a bandleader with Finding Ways, layering up to three guitars at a time around his drums and bass, the album featuring ten different guitarists. He’s joined by a remarkable set of collaborators and guests including – Tara Cunningham, David Preston and Anders Christensen – each adding something unmistakably their own and it’s this space they’re given to be themselves that defines the sound. This is honest music-making. Nothing is forced. Nothing boxed in. Finding Ways. That’s what Seb is doing—musically, emotionally, personally.
‘The Finding Ways music is about Finding Ways to keep positive and navigate the world around us’.
