Headline act is EL CAPITAN: three sonic adventurers who formed in Brighton last year to create a guitar-driven blend of alternative rock & psych and lock it in with a rhythm section who are not afraid to really groove. Diverse influences such as 1960s rhythm & blues and psychedelia; 1970s rock and punk; and 2000s alt-rock give the band their unique sound that infuses guitar-based songs with lyrics that peel back the skin of daily life and examine what it means to be alive in such a tumultuous world. We are delighted to have EL CAPITAN bringing their grooviness to our Groovy Arts Club Night.
Mel & Marcel: are the beloved Alt-Pop duo based in Manningtree, Essex. They perform their own quirky brand of music, with songs about the madness of life as they observe it: from dementia to selfies through to hot flushes & the pointlessness of war – no subject is off limits. They have recently released a vinyl album Invisibly Plain; hear their songs on all digital platforms plus YouTube (where you can also view their fabulous videos).

Hosts of the evening are the four-piece The Groovy Arts Club Band: their music can be described as original New Wave Rock. They have established a strong reputation in the last few years for their exciting & energetic performances in prestigious London venues (Dublin Castle, Camden & Gaz’s Rockin Blues, Soho) and throughout East Anglia. They have recently released their second mini-album, entitled Suede Stone Star, on all digital platforms plus YouTube. They have hosted Groovy Arts Club Nights in Essex, Norwich and London and this is now their second in Brighton (first was in January this year with The Last of the Lovely Days headlining) again at fab venue The Pipeline.
