Sleep When You're Dead presents another night of dark musical forces with live bands curated to stimulate and unsettle the senses. Eclectic DJ sets Frame this alternative night.
BATS OF QUEEN'S WOOD
An intense post-punk force of musical and theatrical darkness. Weaving a sonic tapestry that is both mesmerising and unsettling, their music is characterised by haunting melodies, driving rhythms, biting lyrics and a touch of the macabre. With their unique sound and hypnotic presence, Bats of Queens Wood invites you into their world of shadows and secrets.
Bats of Queen's Wood were formed in the summer of 2024 by Dawn Lintern and Christian Ruland (Das Fluff) and John Rigby (Sex Gang SGC). They will be presenting a fire-fuelled set bursting with energy and passion with original material penned by Lintern and Rigby. Their debut performance at The Black Heart in Camden was met with a rapturous response and further virgin material will be unleashed for the first time on this night.

AGENCY-V
Agency-V is a dynamic synth rock trio from the UK, known for infusing dark overtones with powerful blends of electronic and rock music. The band consists of Marie Williamson (vocals), Lloyd Price (synths, programming), and Peter Steer (guitars). Each member has a unique musical background and a shared passion for creating evocative, genre-blending music.
Marie, Lloyd, and Peter have been active in the UK electronic scene for years, crossing paths at various points before officially forming Agency-V. Their collective influences range from the pioneering sounds of Gary Numan, through the energetic beats of Kraftwerk, to the heavy darkness of Nine Inch Nails, which are evident in their intricate synth lines and compelling lyrics. They have just been named ‘Best Electro Act’ at the Radio Wigwam Awards.
