BRISTOL @ The Cloak & Dagger, with Goya and Hexcut

Matt Howden — Fri, 03 Dec 2021 15:02:31 +0000

FRI 3 DEC 2021

Doors 7pm £7

PHAT Bristol are delighted to invite you to The Cloak & Dagger for the return of GOYA, Bristol’s favourite cinematic jazz outfit.
Featuring soaring sax lines sprinkled across delicately woven, spider-silk piano – all tied together by watertight rhythms and sumptuous grooves, GOYA are a Bristol based 5-piece cinematic jazz outfit who are rapidly gaining a name for themselves in Bristol and beyond.
Having recently played several sold-out headline shows including The Crofters Rights and the Tramlines Fringe Festival in Sheffield, we are delighted to bring GOYA back to The Cloak & Dagger, to entwine with your ears once more…

Main support on the night comes in the shape of the mighty SIEBEN, the “one man rawchestra” who’s live performances have garnered him a large and dedicated following in the UK and all across Europe.
Expect virtuoso level violin smothered in ethereal, Anglo/Celtic folk influenced vocals; telling tales of times gone by and tackling tough modern political issues, all delivered with almost shamanic energy… there is no wonder SIEBEN has been so successful for so long.
We’re delighted to welcome him to Bristol!

Providing an absolutely perfect opening to the night will be the delightfully inventive HEXCUT. This fresh, bright quartet fuse elements of jazz with EDM and rock to create effervescent slices of beautiful fusion.
Having previously played events such as SoFar Sounds and Boomtown, HEXCUT are no strangers to the scene in Bristol and further afield. A real treat for fans of Three Trapped Tigers, GoGo Penguin, BADBADNOTGOOD and others… make sure you get down for the start to catch these wonders!

This is going to be an absolutely stunning evening of music and beautiful, inclusive vibes. Get your ticket now and don’t miss out!

TICKETS are available in advance for £8 exclusively from Headfirst Bristol. Any unsold tickets will be made available for sale on the door on the night, at a price of £10.

We are thrilled to announce that our venue partners at The Cloak & Dagger have recently been granted a substantial amount of Arts Council England funding, ensuring their survival as a venue in the post-pandemic landscape and enabling them to provide further platforms in the community for live music, spoken word, queer culture and the arts as a whole.

Food will be available on the night, provided by Chef Seb and his wonderful team at The Cloak & Dagger.

PLEASE NOTE – ALL FOOD BOOKINGS MUST BE MADE DIRECTLY WITH THE CLOAK & DAGGER. PHAT BRISTOL DO NOT HANDLE ANY FOOD BOOKINGS.

Sieben and Hungarian Lanterns in Sheffield

FRI, 29 OCT 2021

8.30pm

Church House, 4 St James Street, Sheffield A pre-Halloween extravaganza of dark, evocative music. FOR FREE.
Sieben

‘A Sieben show is like a one-man whirlwind with a violin’ – Sonic Seducer Magazine, Germany

‘Matt Howden writes songs for voice and violin, feeding both into a loop station to build up layers of sound. At even the most fundamental level, his work links acoustics and electronics’ – Adrian Ainsworth- Specs Blog, UK Sieben is the one-man, violin-looping work of Matt Howden. He beats, plucks, thumps and sings into a poor violin called Kev that he really shows no mercy to. Very occasionally he’ll play it like a normal violin.

Hungarian Lanterns
‘Bestowed their performance with a dark potent quality. They combine the dark romanticism of Leonard Cohen with the droll humour of Morrissey’ – Now Then

‘They possess a seemingly endless array of memorable songs with instantly quotable wordplay’ – bbc.co.uk

An incendiary five piece combo with many a dramatic flourish and provocative stanza. Fronted by award-winning comedian Anthony J. Brown, a lyricist for numerous European acts including penning texts for three German Top 10 albums for dark rockers Lord Of The Lost.

9pm

Event by Mareak Jaialdia

Bermeoko Kafe Antzokia, Bibao, Spain

SIEBEN
Erresuma Batutik datorkigu zurrunbilo hau, bere biolinarekin, ahotsarekin eta loopak sortzeko pedalarekin. Matt Howden ‘Sieben’ da. Autodidakta, punk espirituarekin, mundu osoan 1.500 kontzertu baino gehiago eskainita. Loopak, biolinak eta ahotsak zirraren mundu batera erakartzen zaitu, hipnotizatuta. Lirikoki, bere ahots gozo eta leunak istorio ilun, azkar eta bihurriak kontatzen ditu, eta guztiaren erdian biolina jotzeko ezohiko modua. Neofolk, gotiko eta esperimentaltzat jotzen dute, baina folk alternatibo, eder, distiratsa eta malenkoniatsua ere izan daiteke.

KABBALAH
Iruñeko hiru neska hauek osaturiko Kabbalah power trioa Black Sabbath-en urmael lohitsu sakonetik abiatzen da bere musika sortzeko. Jario horiek eta folketik hurbil dauden ahots harmonia eder eta ilunak batuz, okultismoaz, esoterismoaz eta magiaz hitz egiten digute. Ezinbesteko hitzordua soinu espektralen zaleentzat.

NO SANCTUARY
Iruñeko banda bat da. Doom, crust edo industrial generoetan mugitzen da, DIY jarrera sendoarekin eta etengabe sortzeko borondatearekin. Weird crust, hermetic punk edo dark metal/d-beat proposamena egiten du. Tom G. Warrior (Celtic Frost eta Triptykon), Nick Blinko (Rudimentary Peni) eta Paul Ferguson (Killing Joke) artisten inspirazioa ere aurki dezakegu taldean. Edonola, bandaren soinua azaltzera hurbiltzen badira ere, erreferentzia horiek ez dira nahiko talde bitxi hau definitzeko.
