IAN

Event information

Sonic Masala opens up their 2026 account with three varied but cumulatively noisy bands - blow the January doldrums out!

IAN - the London collective tread a unique line between art rock, post rock, metal and post metal - finding the human, emotive core underneath it all. A truly breathtaking act, their album Come On Everybody, Lets Do Nothing! on Human Worth Records is absolutely jaw dropping. Cannot wait to see em in the flesh for the first time!

TV Face - Lancaster noise rockers who bare teeth and acerbic barbs like FOTL/mclusky, the visceral jagged sonics also evoke Manchester’s Kong (remember them? God they were good), the three-piece are a relentless yet bizarrely a breath of fresh air too - light and dark balanced on a knife’s edge.

The People Assembly - Leicester’s post space heathens are a perfect blend of these two bands. They’ve evolved from the weirdo psychedelics of a few years ago (although elements still echo) into a more angular yet still experimental beast. Supporting Prolapse and Warmduscher of late, they don’t sound like them - they are darker, weirder, with Gilla Band points of sonic extremity. The excitement grows.
