AYA
SATURDAY 20 NOVEMBER
Strange Brew, Bristol
7.30pm – 10pm
We welcome AYA to Strange Brew for her ‘im hole’ Bristol album launch. As a performer, aya simultaneously assumes the role of folk singer, town cryer, bard and court jester. Whether DJing at Manchester’s paradigm-shifting boygirl parties or performing live at Poland’s Unsound festival she played with perception as if it were an extra turntable. Daubed in elaborate makeup, aya used her voice to soften the academic stiffness of sound art, subverting British dance culture’s laddishness with self-effacing Northern humor and absurdist poetry. On “im hole” this routine has evolved; aya has distilled the incisive sonic experimentation of her early run of releases, the tongue-in-cheek giggles of her DJ sets and edits, and the identity-fluxing lyricism of her live shows.

Silverbacks
TUESDAY 8 MARCH 2022
The Louisiana, Bristol
7.30pm – 11pm
Taking their cues from the taut rhythms and urgent drive of late 70s punk and the discordant, unpredictable freak outs of NYC no-wave, Silverbacks craft a signature sound spiked with triple guitar riffs, a motorik rhythm section, and on the pulse lyrics.
