“Mark E Smith style lyricism to proto-techno beats, the band seem to sit somewhere

between The Stooges primal garage punk and Suicide's screeching futurism” - THE CLASHMUSIC

“Brilliant and exhilarating” -Eric Delsart, Rock&Folk Magazine

“The swirling sinister slice of goth pop sounds like Leeds era alternative dance floor-filling Sisters/Mission dry ice shenanigans...” -LOUDER THAN WAR

ELLiS . D

Backed by a near-continuously shifting set of session musicians on his tours, in the studio ELLiS·D channels the workhorse-like energy of fellow multi-instrumentalists Ty Segall, Prince and Kevin Parker to mould a sound that at once feels familiar but also completely his own, embodying the extravagance and glam-pop sensibilities of the likes of Marc Bolan and New York Dolls with the lyrical sensitivity and intensity of The Smiths and Jehnny Beth, to create something almost uniquely contradictory. Jangly, threadbare guitar riffs weave their way through CAN inspired rhythmic pulses as hook-smeared repetitions and expolosive, abstract vocal acrobatics flow and fight their way into psych-driven instrumentals.

PETRICHOR

Debut gig! Petrichor are a 4 piece band featuring members of Izzi Allard & The Diabolical Bombshells and Milkfiz. They combine elements of noise rock, grunge and s.hoegaze to create an eerie yet engaging atmosphere.
