The Tin At The Coal Vaults

Pleiades come to Coventry for the first time with their highly anticipated new EP, If Your Roots Run Deep, You Can’t Fear The Wind. Recorded with No Studio (Pijn, Bossk) in their hometown of Manchester, this marks their first full release since their acclaimed 2023 debut album, Affinity With, which earned them critical praise, including a feature in Kerrang!, who described it as “a blend of twisty post-rock and gunpowder-packed hardcore” with “a sound that could easily carry them to rock’s big leagues.”

Sink or Swim present Desinteresse + Special Guests
Wednesday 25 June 2025
7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
£10 Adv (+ BF)
The Tin At The Coal Vaults

Desinteresse is a Dutch coldwave band consisting of Bart (bass), Joppe (drums) and Sem (vocals/synth/guitar). The band comes from the southern province Limburg and was officially formed in November 2022. The band started out as a duo, but has been functioning as a three piece since 2024. Their latest release is the 7” single ‘Grijze Dromen’ (August 2024). All releases up until now have been released on their own label ‘DECADENCE’. Their aim is to recreate the sound from a past era, using only analog equipment, seeing this as a form of art, identity and expression.

Cold, abandoned and non-existential feelings mark the melancholic and gloomy atmosphere on stage. Still sounds and voices are not primary – though the message is.

Batsch are a unique avant-pop ensemble who have been experimenting with synth pop, disco and jazz throughout the last decade. Having started out as Don’t Move!, a four-piece, with acclaimed soda-pop artist Pink Shabab on bass, the latest incarnation of the band is an energetic duo, consisting of Mason Le Long on synth, guitar and vocals, and Matt Rheeston on drums, samples and vocals.

Having served for many years as a house band for Tin Angel Records, Batsch toured extensively with artists such as Laetitia Sadier, Marker Starling, Nicholas Krgovich, Devon Sproule, and John Moods. Over the years, Batsch have continued their collaborations with global artists, featuring on compilation albums such as 2015’’s Dear Janet, a love letter to Janet Jackson, alongside artists such as Tune-Yards, Deradoorian and Nicholas Krgovich, and remixed tracks for the likes of Pick a Piper (Caribou drummer). In addition to this, Le Long, operates from his DIY studio, mastering acclaimed albums for the likes of Mabe Fratti and Crack Cloud, while Rheeston fuses angular rhythms and soulful melodies through original beats, in his side-project, Riizbo.

In Le Long’s words, on the subject of the natural evolution of their sound since becoming a duo, ‘a recent shift away from the 70s, dead, ‘teatowelled’ drum kit to a high-tuned, bebop-sounding, mid-60s Olympic kit has been significant in the development of our sound, informing our decision-making, and the way Matt plays.’

Their latest singles, ‘Too Few’, ‘Knew No Different’ and ‘Golden Summer’, are fine examples of their new ‘self-sampling’ approach. These tracks have gained some success, including press features in Mystic Sons, Brooklyn Vegan, Atwood Magazine, With Guitars, and radio plays on BBC 6Music, Amazing Radio, KZ Israel and Simone Marie’s Naked Lunch show on Soho Radio.

Nadia Reid
Tuesday 23 September 2025
7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
£17adv (+ booking fee)
The Tin At The Coal Vaults

Nadia Reid’s Enter Now Brightness is an album of departure and questioning, a reminder that songwriting can transform pain, joy, thoughts, and anger into something new. “I’m so much better off now that it exists,” she says. “Now feels like a new time.”

Moving further from her folk roots, Reid establishes a sound distinctly her own—poised and expansive. The title, drawn from a book passage, evokes light breaking through, the feeling of stepping onto a stage, of life beginning.

A record of great beauty and change, Enter Now Brightness captures Reid’s evolution, blending textural pop, country-leaning folk-rock, and striking emotional depth. The Guardian describes her sound as “halfway between Haim’s sophisticated pop sparkle and Sharon Van Etten’s full-throated songcraft.”

Mik Artistik’s Ego Trip
Thursday 2 October 2025
7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
£13 advance (+ booking fee)
The Tin At The Coal Vaults

Mik Artistik’s Ego Trip are genuinely delightful, funny, frightening, and indefinable. Northern rock and roll stand-up comes close.

Every show is unique as Mik finds a new train of thought to ride. He connects, chats, breaks the wall between audience and band, creates chaos, plays air-crook lock (!?), all complimented by exquisite layers of rock, soul, funk, and punk created by Jonny Flockton on electric guitar, drum machine, and one of a number of well-heeled bass players. .

Kathryn Joseph
Thursday 23 October 2025
7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
£16adv (+ booking fee)
The Tin At The Coal Vaults

Known for her fearless storytelling, raw emotional depth, and unflinching honesty, Kathryn Joseph has made a lasting mark on contemporary music. A relentless pursuit of truth runs through each of her albums, from the devastating beauty of bones you have thrown me and blood i’ ve spilled (2015), which won the Scottish Album of the Year Award, to the grief-stricken intensity of from when i wake the want is (2018), and the haunting for you who are the wronged (2022), a powerful reckoning with abuse in all its forms.

Now, Kathryn embarks on a new chapter with her fourth album, WE WERE MADE PREY., set for release on 30 May via Rock Action Records. Recorded in the remote Black Bay Studio on the Isle of Lewis, the album explores the collision of want and loss, self-fulfillment and shame, embracing a newfound intensity—bigger, angrier, and full of want.

Joining forces with Lomond Campbell, Kathryn’s delicate yet visceral sound continues to evolve, seamlessly blending intimate, unfiltered lyrics with rich, atmospheric layers of piano, keyboards, and electronic elements. Their long-standing collaboration has been instrumental in pushing her music into darker, more experimental territory, amplifying the raw emotional power at its core.

Reflecting on the album’s transformation in the studio, she says, “The songs were angry, but in a small way. Until Lomond added all this beautiful noise, and suddenly they were angry in a much bigger way, in an exciting way, and so full of want.”

Josie Long: Now Is The Time Of Monsters
Friday 21 November 2025
7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
£22adv (+ booking fee)
The Tin At The Coal Vaults

A new show about extinct gigantic, charismatic, megafauna from 3-time Edinburgh Comedy Award Nominated Comedian, and very good comedian Josie Long. In these troubled times, in this wicked world, it can feel like apocalypse is everywhere but did you know 11,000 years ago there were some really big armadillos? I’m talking about as big as a car. Really big. And they were vegetarian so don’t even worry about them. Also my daughter has a hamster and I’m not saying distract yourself from everything, but I’m saying he’s also part of everything. Josie is back with a new show about discovery, wonder, extinction and how to walk through a landscape of monstrous disaster. There is also a good tip about silt, guaranteed.

***** The Skinny “If stand-up shows can be known to punch down, then [Josie] buoys us all up.”

**** Guardian “wild-firing imagination”
