Hidden Herd Presents is Brighton’s new music discovery night, spotlighting the most exciting emerging artists, ones-to-watch and hidden gems. This time, come to The Hope & Ruin for Mandrake Handshake, TINMAN, Baby Gem and Ruby Doomsday.Mandrake Handshake
Mandrake Handshake are a multi-dimensional collective from Oxford and London, creating a hedonistic, brain-frying feast of Krautrock, art-pop and psychedelia, which they describe as "flowerkraut". Since forming in 2018, they’ve produced two acclaimed EPs in debut ‘Shake The Hand That Feeds You’ (Nice Swan Records) and its follow-up ‘The Triple Point Of Water’ (Glasshouse Records), which have garnered support from The Independent, NME, DIY Magazine, Clash Magazine, So Young Magazine and Loud and Quiet. In 2022, they were also named BBC Music Introducing in Oxfordshire's Act of the Year. Out on the road, Mandrake Handshake have headlined across the UK and Europe, made numerous festival appearances at Green Man Festival, Truck Festival, Stag & Dagger and more, and recently sold out the iconic 100 Club in London. They've also shared the stage with acts like Walt Disco, Opus Kink, Lime Garden, W. H. Lung, Deep Tan, Pale Blue Eyes, Plantoid and Flip Top Head. So, grab your tambourines, let down your hair, fix your third-eye-liner, and come witness the spectacle!

TINMAN
TINMAN is the moniker of songwriter and frontman Austin Pritchard, who leads an ensemble of exceptional musicians from bands such as Skydaddy, Ideal Living and Soft Top. Delving into psychedelic folk, the five-piece blends acoustic guitar, piano synthesiser, bass and drums to craft dreamy melodies that sway like rowboats on rivers. Their cathartic sound, enriched with chorus-soaked sounds and four-part vocal harmonies, lends a timeless feel to lyrics that reflect Pritchard's personal experiences of modern life. Formed in early 2023, TINMAN have quickly made their mark on the South Coast scene and beyond, performing alongside The Goa Express, CIEL, Langkamer and AtticOmatic, and selling out their debut headline show at The Folklore Rooms. They released their wondrous debut single ‘Lady By The Lake’ via Crafting Room Recordings last year and are currently gearing up for its eagerly-awaited follow-up.

Baby Gem
Brighton-based group Baby Gem are a five-piece that weave together avant-garde prog, folk and rock to create cinematic 70s-esque sounds. Once described as “Future Fleetwood Mac” (or “Future Mac”), the band’s music comprises dark, otherworldly tones of introspection and contemplative realism alongside soft and melancholic beauty. On the back of three excellent singles - ‘Gypsy Boy’, ‘Eve Was Framed’ and ‘Thick Heat’ - Baby Gem have built significant momentum on the Brighton live circuit, supporting the likes of Helen Ganya, Dana Gavanski and Cordelia Gartside, as well as playing the sold-out Homegrown Festival and Slack City’s Slackscape with Hutch and Holiday Ghosts.

Ruby Doomsday
Fresh from the capital, brand-new London quartet Ruby Doomsday have arrived with a glorious modern spin on classic doo-wop and rock 'n' roll. Describing themselves as “the house band at The Last Chance Saloon”, their music is a nostalgic and vibrant sonic experience brought to you by members of croon-pop favourites Honey Moon and exciting dream-rockers Rats-Tails. Despite their newcomer status, they’ve already shared stages with Trudy and The Romance, PleasureInc. and The Slow Country and have appeared at iconic venues like Windmill Brixton, The Shacklewell Arms and The Old Blue Last.
