Dirt Royal are at the same time both an in-yer-face live ball of energy and a band who deliver fast-paced but radio-friendly songs that have been catching the ears of DJs from the BBC and further afield.

Over from Brighton and supporting The Ramonas in Hastings’ Black Market VIP venue on a cold December night they turned up the temperature with a fierce set that delivered that oh-so-important trick of making sure a few of them were stuck in your head on the way home.

One of those, ‘Waiting for the Radio’ is their current single. Harking back with a wry nod to bands that have been this way before but putting their own firebrand stamp on the genre it’s got that earworm hook we love.

ELLiS·D Tioklu

All the way from Los Angeles, via Italy, France and the Netherlands, Vinyl Williams is bringing his neo-psychedelic celestial-pop sound to The Piper the April, for a set not to be missed as part of his 2024 European tour.

The grandson of legendary cinematic composer, John Williams, Vinyl Williams has six studio albums to draw on for his live shows... and his songs paint a dreamy and sensual soundscape of blissed-out and gently rocking delight.

Ellis.D - expect post-punk, krautrock and psychedelia to funk, art-rock and baroque pop

Tioklu - music from an out of time and ethereal realm which encompasses a kind of dream pop overflowing with psychedelia.
