SICKROSE + Grandchild + Folketronic

SICKROSE + Grandchild + Folketronic live at The Louisiana, Bristol. Friday, 9th August 2024

SICKROSE

SICKROSE give the listener a glimpse into their own fantasy land with
lyricism of the unknown entwined with a psychedelic soundscape to
match it. Inspired by the great bands of the 1960/70’s such as Cream
and Black Sabbath, they create their own unique sound by having a
range of diverse material featuring improvised instrumental sections
when in a live setting and riffs reminiscent of bands such as The
Wytches and Led Zeppelin. The band consists of Jules Armstrong on
bass, Max Dunstone on drums and Luca Powell on guitar & vocals.

Grandchild

Cinematic post-rock trio GRANDCHILD make music fitting for apocalyptic
times. Having appropriately released their debut EP, Pure Drone, at a
time when the world was seemingly reaching its end, they have since
begun disrupting the live circuit in their hometown of Bristol with
their dynamic approach to melding distorted samples, cacophonous drums
and sludgy noise rock guitars. With a handful of singles since then
(‘Great Gama’, ’Semaphore’, ‘Shimmer’) that have captured the kinetic
feel of their shows, the threesome have begun weaving in elements of
the drones they were initially making between tracks, to give an
ever-morphing feel to their sets.

Folketronic

The Folketronic’s are four friends, who love to express and experiment
creatively. An attempt of a crazed act, we bind middle eastern
finger-style and rock music; whilst maintaining the psychedelic
artefact of the 60s. The Folketronic band is made up of 4 wooden
soldiers, Fin Richard’s, Jules Michalski, Izaak Hare and Angus
Fussell. Each member contributing a unique talent to the winding,
battle of sound. You could compare our music to the likes of Pink
Floyd, Radiohead and Nick Drake.
