Audioscope at The Old Boot Factory

Event information

We're very excited to announce an upcoming Audioscope show in a very special venue. We've teamed up with Oxford-based artistic hub Launch Collaborative to present an Audioscope show in the Old Boot Factory as part of their exhibition 'The Natural Order of Things' next month.

The show will form part of an immersive installation exploring the psychology of space through subconscious languages and landmarks. For our part of it, we'll be presenting some of our favourite artists from Oxford and beyond playing special quiet sets in this unique venue.

All proceeds from the show will go directly to national homelessness and bad housing charity Shelter, for whom we have raised more than £23,000 since 2001.

The full lineup is as follows:

THE SCHOLARS

A powerful and uplifting onslaught of meticulously constructed, hook-laden rock from Oxford, playing a special quiet set for us in the Boot Factory.

ROME PAYS OFF

Rome Pays Off is the new band from members of the original post-rock bass trio Rothko, and takes that band's gorgeous, atmospheric sculptures to their next logical stage. Bass guitars, drone, piano and and synth washes come together to create a simply beautiful musical haze.
