Soundwire/Candymouse/Sassyhiya

Event information

SOUNDWIRE are a psychedelic / alternative band based in South Wales / Bristol, UK. Formed by former Sweetest Ache vocalist Simon Court and guitarist Peter Moore, their unique and exploratory sound developed drawing inspiration from the fuzzy riffs of 60's US garage-punk, the motor-rhythms and guitar-synth fusion of 70's 'krautrock', and the reverb-drenched, hypnotic sonic stylings of the likes of My Bloody Valentine, Spacemen 3, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Death In Vegas, and many more.
Their self-titled debut album was mixed and produced by Thighpaulsandra (Spiritualized / Coil / Hawkwind), and received critical acclaim from Drowned In Sound, Louder Than War, Buzz Magazine, etc., and enjoyed frequent airplay on BBC Radio as well as numerous indie and alternative radio stations worldwide.

CANDYMOUSE Ever wondered what the love child of 80's indie also-rans Mousefolk and the Candy Darlings would sound like? Well, wonder no longer. Candymouse don’t even fit the jangly C86 / Sarah Records stereotype: – compared to: The Cult. Psychedelic Furs, Inspiral Carpets. the Stones, Wire… strange as it may seem for a band with the most-twee of names, Candymouse do rock. And Rule, OK

SASSYHIYA Formed by Helen and Kathy from London queercore cult heroes Barry, November 2024's debut album Take You Somewhere has been picked up by Amelia Flecther and Rob Pursey's Skep Wax label, a true mark of distinction for their bold, defiant melodic indie-post-punk. A recent 6Music Riley and Coe session gave us sassy punk for the modern age., with wit and attitude to spare.
