PP,PP! v36: Ideal Living, Toast, Lifejacket @ Dead Wax Norwich, F 06 Mar 26

Too damn right! Pica pica, Pica pica! is heading to Dead Wax Norwich! Please note, this is an 18+ gig.

Ideal Living is set to unleash an all-immersive and inspirational art-rock soundfest that’ll sweep you off your feet, then slam your heart into your mouth as your ears engage exponentially. Yes, Ideal Living will steal your soul.

"Ideal Living's set scratched our experimental rock itch nicely, with their frenetic, dark and complex tracks filling the room… One of Brighton’s most exciting new acts.” Clunk

With national press and BBC Radio 6 airplay, Ideal Living’s dynamic of raging highs and subtle lows is captivating, as is their charismatic, constantly adapting, live performance, taking influence from Leonard Cohen, Tapir!, LCD Soundsystem, Tyler the Creator and The Birthday Party. Are you ready?

“You can feel the incredible range of musical talent seeping from Ideal Living… Everything from guitars, brass and electronic elements… to forge the most fantastic harmony of sounds, blending genres seamlessly… Never ones to be comfortable staying within the realms of what is expected from them” Clunk

Self-heralded as “an ensemble of arranged harsh noise and beautiful trippy harmonies and elegant melodies”, Toast are the closest to structured noise and passion with cut edges you’ll get… Rough and smooth. Swoonsome twee pop vintage/retro elegance. Glowing from the colour and styling of their artwork, Toast’s psychpunk grungegaze Midwest emo hard industrial indie hard garage rock will push everyone around the room. Also prepare for the trio’s dream-pop-dream-wave-gaze to lead you, like a moth, to their audible and visual light.

Buoyant music for turbulent times is Lifejacket’s mission statement. Manifested as cacophonous beats, fuzz-laden riffage and soaring melodies – while channelling acts like Amyl and the Sniffers, Soft Play and FIDLAR – it’s a fiery concoction of the finest slices of pop-thrash angst-punk since the dawn of time. Or at least since Nirvana broke up.
