Event information
Forming the Heathen Apostles in 2013, Mather Louth (Radio Noir) and rock n
roll veteran Chopper Franklin (The Cramps, Mau Maus, Nick Curran & the
Lowlifes) quickly uncovered a mutual appreciation for murder balladry,
Americana, and memento mori. The band's sonic landscape was further tilled with
the addition of Thomas Lorioux (Kings of Nuthin', Legendary Shack Shakers)
o n bass a n d Luis Mascaro o n violin.
Their 7 critically acclaimed albums, along with their many EPs and singles (their
release The Fall was named Best E P of 2018 by Folk n Rock magazine), capture
the essence of the Heathen Apostles modus operandi: Southern Gothic Americana
imagery surrounded by haunting, minor-chord melodies, musical influences
including Gothic Roots music, Bluegrass, Blues, and Gypsy Jazz, all deftly bound
together by the band's dark and sometimes brooding sense of a bygone age.
John E Vistic
‘Stop what you are doing and seek out John E Vistic and have a better life for it’ (RPM online)
John E Vistic is a multi-instrumentalist, & award-winning songwriter who plays a unique brand of 'filthy punk', rock n roll & alt-country. With influences from Jesus & The Mary Chain & Marky Ramone to Idles, Metz & Fontaines DC. John E Vistic's latest single was described by the BBC as ‘Massive as ever from John E Vistic! John E Vistic is producing some of the most in your face music coming of Bristol right now…’.
Vistic has just finished a UK tour sponsored by Blackstar Ampifications, supporting Seattle punk legends MUDHONEY(USA), and the reviews have been great: London Electric Ballroom: Punktuation review: (https://www.punktuationmag.com/mudhoney-john-e-vistic-london-electric-ballroom-2nd-oct-2024/) "Neither Mudhoney’s Mark Arm nor John E Vistic are afraid to channel their inner Iggy when they cast aside their guitars, and both bands are partial to the kind of glorious racket that would have the Asheton brothers (RIP) nodding in approval. John himself is a captivating frontman, leading us like a preacher hailing the end of days".
