FREE SHOW - No ticket required. Priority given to passholders.The Discussion
Concocted in the mind of Laura Pleasants (Kylesa), The Discussion is an apocalyptic explosion of post-punk as interpreted by psychedelic headbangers. Latest single “In Life & Death” heralds an album that promises minor-scale melodies and shoegaze-y rock that could score either a brooding night in or a dancey night out.
Bratboy
Garage-punk outfit Bratboy has been wowing home listeners and audiences alike since dropping their debut album Bratworld last year. The songs snarl and roar but never forget to drive forward with captivating hooks. It’s no wonder they’ve opened for past Sled Island faves like La Luz and Meatbodies.
Tebby & the Heavy
Take an electrifying journey through a swirling soundscape with Tebby and the Heavy’s magical brand of playful neo-psychedelia. Pedal-heavy shoegaze helps to create their distinct kaleidoscope sound, while the ghosts of ‘90s grunge and surf rock haunt the proceedings. This dynamic trio knows how to rock and roll and look cool while doing it.
Dot Cardigan
Indie goth angels Dot Cardigan present us with a sonic time machine and a question - do you hurtle toward an early ‘90s basement riot grrl show, or cruise into an ‘80s club of full new wave hang-the-DJ anthems? Dot’s buoyant live performance and debut album Assorted Sounds answers the question with another question: why not both?
