pôt-pot (Felte/Blind Head) @ The Louisiana Bristol

pôt-pot (Felte/Blind Head) live at The Louisiana, Bristol. Monday, 18th May 2026.

Pôt-pot are an Irish quintet based in Lisbon, Portugal. The band infuse the propulsive rhythms of krautrock with a phosphorescent psych-rock radiance, all underscored by harmonium drones, hypnotic vocal harmonies, and layers of rough-hewn texture. They deal in deep grooves and cooking listeners to completion.

They released their debut EP Ode To A in 2023, earning it a spot on The Thin Air’s “Best of 2023” list. "Ode To A succeeds not just in the artistic practice of the avant-garde, but as piece of an engaging, genuinely psychedelic experimental drone rock” – Stevie Lennox, The Thin Air. In April 2024, they released their second EP “GOING INSANE” on cult Porto based label Socorro, with a limited vinyl run via Ireland’s beloved Blowtorch Records, receiving much critical acclaim.

2024-2025 has been a busy period for pôt-pot, selling out shows across Ireland, UK and Portugal with a . In mid 2025, the band signed with LA-based Felte Records, with whom they release their debut album “Warsaw 480km” in September 2025 to critical acclaim - including a shortlist for Choice Music Prize Irish Album of the Year (Ireland's Grammys/Mercury Prize) and being named as one of BBC 6 Music's Albums Of The Year.

Evolved primarily from demos by multi-instrumentalist and lead vocalist Mark Waldron-Hyden during a period of grief and personal upheaval, “Warsaw 480km” came to life through a series of live, full-band studio sessions that document an exceptional array of talents, unified in an embrace of raw catharsis that transforms deep pain into a luminous reverie.

"The band build tension by cycling through instrumental moods, at times fit for scuzzy sweatboxes and at other for more altered states of consciousness." - The Wire

"Lysergic sonics tempered by an assured, unified sense of purpose, the scorched audio sits just on the right side of lo-fi." - Clash

Show starts at 7:30pm.
