Event information

Life Aquatic Band usher in spring with a hometown show at Sidney & Matilda, the last date of their March tour.

“Upbeat, sun-drenched and life-affirming music that bursts out of your speakers”
- Tom Robinson, 6 Music

Life Aquatic Band's music brings sunshine to drab days, it's music to walk home to, it's music to let yourself loose.

With songs about brunch dates, and the undying wish to be a cool band on the cover of the NME, their style is signposted by satirical lyricism inspired by Jonathan Richman and the Mouldy Peaches, whilst their music is a mix of 70s Pop and early 2000s ElectroClash - somewhere between Graceland-era Paul Simon and LCD Soundsystem.

In 2023, LAB returned with a new album full of positivity: FREE SUMMER. They have been playing all over the UK, including at Glastonbury festival, Shambala, Y Not, won a public vote to play Tramlines, and have been backed by BBC 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq, Tom Robinson, Deb Grant and Tom Ravenscroft.

Their latest single Brunch Mindset received seven plays on 6 Music, a regular feature on Lamacq’s Drive Time, as well as further plays by John Kennedy on Radio X.

“A blend of new and old Post-punk - who wants to go for Brunch?”
- Steve Lamacq - 6 Music
