Listen up, you glorious people! Exquisite auditory amazement can soon be your overriding experience, as you bask in the barely believable brilliance that is a.P.A.t.T.
Cast off the frissons of the everyday; destroy the humdrum dirge with superlative sounds that reassemble the all-pervasive drone of cultural miasma into new and unexpected shapes. All of this, for you, LIVE in Sheffield, in March 2025!
But, well, who are a.P.A.t.T.? Liverpool based a.P.A.t.T. are an ensemble generally known for their avant-garde music and multimedia exploits.
Since their first release (e.P.) in 2002, they have released more than 7 albums, numerous singles, and endless music videos and short films. They have received commissions from a smörgåsbord of leading arts organisations, made a full feature film and even starred and composed for a BBC TV Sitcom. Because, of course.
a.P.A.t.T.’s latest album ‘We’ (2023) - their first since 2016’s acclaimed Fun With Music - resumes their sublime/ridiculous directive with aplomb.
It was album of the month and made ‘album of the year’ listings in The Quietus, who said:
“A postmodern take on the notion, however, might include some of the more maddening aspects of modern existence – advertisements and radio jingles, disembodied snippets of movie dialogue,audible incursions of other people’s music on public transport. This is not so much attention deficit music as attention intensive music which rewards time spent with it, particularly for listeners whose taste remains relatively fluid.”
“There really is no other way to say this: but a.P.A.t.T. drive me completely and utterly cuckoo, in a decidedly good way of course.” Louder Than War

This is a free entry gig, but please bring some cash for the bucket in order to show your appreciation for our artists.
Under 18s are welcome until 9pm and must be accompanied by an adult.
Accessibility: The Dorothy Pax is a canalside bar which is reached by a 5 min walk from the nearest road (Furnival Rd), or a very short walk from the multistorey car park (disabled bays available) that has a pedestrian exit directly on to the quays. The pavement surface around Victoria Quays is cobbled and uneven. Inside, the bar has a small mezzanine / balcony area at ground level, with 10 steps down to reach the bar and the toilets (two large gender neutral cubicles). Please get in touch on [email protected] if you have access needs of any sort and would like to attend, we will do our best to provide the support that you need to enjoy the show.
