INDEX FOR WORKING MUSIK

with support from Sundaughter

INDEPENDENT VENUE WEEK 2027

For our first Independent Venue Week 2027 show, we're delighted to welcome the brilliant Index For Working Musik to The Apothecary Tap, Banbury, for a very special headline show.

Emerging from an East End bunker in 2023, the band released their striking debut Dragging the Needlework for the Kids at Uphole on Tough Love Records, followed by the experimental Indexe’e.

Their acclaimed second album, Which Direction Goes The Beam (2025), was described by Uncut as “arcane, post-industrial Anglicana, with guitars as its sacrament”. Their latest release, Bunker Intimations II (2026), captures 50 minutes of spontaneous experimentation, praised by The Guardian as “a brilliant, haunting set of recordings, lurking between hypnotic space rock and creaking post-rock instrumentals”.

With their third studio album and accompanying tour scheduled for spring 2027, this is a fantastic opportunity to catch the band in an intimate grassroots venue ahead of an exciting new chapter.

Support comes from Sundaughter, a four-piece from Reading blending mercurial shoegaze, dreamy textures, shimmering guitars and airy vocals with delicate Eastern influences.

Also joining the bill are Her Alien Flower, a Coventry and Leamington Spa-based three-piece whose atmospheric indie-psych-rock blends experimental textures with a distinctive psychedelic edge. Having previously played for Strummer Room Records at The Pig Place, we're delighted to welcome them back for this special show.
