Upcoming Events

Miki Berenyi Trio

+ Blue Cinema

Miki Berenyi Trio are Miki Berenyi on vocals/guitar (Lush), Kevin 'Moose' McKillop on guitar (Moose) and Oliver Cherer (Gilroy Mere, Aircooled). The three musicians first worked together during Piroshka's 2021 tour; Miki and Kevin being founder members, Oliver coming in on bass to replace Mick Conroy (Modern English) who had moved to the US.

When the global pandemic made touring impossible, Miki spent the lockdown months writing her memoir, "Fingers Crossed", released in 2022 to widespread acclaim. To provide some musical accompaniment for the string of book events and signings, Miki Berenyi Trio was formed.

The band has developed a momentum of its own, touring with the Wedding Present and Gang of Four and sold out London co-headline show with Aircooled.

Du Blonde

+ Cortney Dixon

Du Blonde is the audacious alter ego of multi-instrumentalist, producer, and visual artist Beth Jeans Houghton, a Newcastle-born creative whose trajectory has taken her from folk-rock curiosity to full-throttle alt-rock juggernaut. Originally gaining critical recognition with Beth Jeans Houghton & The Hooves of Destiny, she swiftly shed that identity to emerge as Du Blonde, a firebrand persona defined by snarling punk edges, fuzz-drenched guitars, and a fierce do-it-yourself ethos.

Operating through her own label, Daemon TV, Du Blonde tackles every aspect of creation; from raw, high-voltage production to striking illustrations and music videos that bristle with humour and irreverence. Over the years, her boundary-busting collaborations with the likes of Shirley Manson (Garbage) and Ezra Furman have proven her magnetic pull within the music community, while her restless creativity consistently upends expectations.

Her latest album "Sniff More Gritty" sees Du Blonde pushing her sound to newfound extremes, layering explosive riffs and searing vocals into an eclectic collage of punk ferocity and power-pop hooks. Capturing the chaotic spirit of a live performance, the record veers from unbridled aggression to disarming vulnerability; a testament to her unwillingness to be fenced in by genre lines or industry norms.

Recent months have also witnessed Du Blonde's exhilarating return to the stage, with a sold-out UK tour that tore through the country before reaching a finale at London's iconic Scala. Celebrated for her raw, cathartic live shows, she leaves audiences enthralled by her commanding stage presence and unvarnished passion. For fans and newcomers alike, Du Blonde stands as a symbol of creative reinvention and unflinching authenticity in modern alt-rock; an artist who refuses to play by anyone else's rules.

"The tension and guitar riffs are breath-taking... 'Chaos' demonstrates the versatility of this band... a glorious garage punk aesthetic." - Clash Music

Hotline TNT

+ Jade Hairpins

Will Anderson needed to call a timeout. It was October 2024, in the studio of modern DIY hero Amos Pitsch, clear across Wisconsin from the small town where Anderson was raised. As he has done for every increasingly absorbing Hotline TNT album, Anderson arrived at the studio with eight, maybe nine demos he liked, leaving himself room not only to expand their sound but to write a few tracks in the room, too. But this time, and for the first time, the quartet that had toured for the last 10 months as Hotline TNT had come with Anderson, somewhat unexpectedly. He had intended to make one more album his way - holing up with a producer and building songs piece by piece, as he'd done for the 2023 breakthrough "Cartwheel" - before making Hotline TNT a full-band affair in the future. But guitarist Lucky Hunter, bassist Haylen Trammel, and drummer Mike Ralston wanted in. Anderson relented.

As they cycled repeatedly through one of Anderson's demos, they couldn't unlock the way to play it, the power and pattern that Hunter's and Anderson's guitars needed to share. When Hunter began playing a part that had nothing to do with that song, Anderson dipped, heading upstairs with his guitar in a spell of mild pique and fatigue. When he emerged a few hours later, he'd written "The Scene", a spiralling-and-stomping new song about wanting someone to throw a tantrum on your behalf. The rest of Hotline TNT, meanwhile, had written a lunging and moody instrumental, guitars pulled as tightly as razor wire against Motorik drums. Anderson resisted at first but then helped finish "Break Right". Both songs are now tentpoles of Raspberry Moon, the most sweeping and compelling Hotline TNT album to date and, crucially, the first built by a full band. Oh, the other song they couldn't get right? No one remembers its name.

The Hunna

The Hunna, formed by Jack Metcalfe, Ryan Potter, and Daniel Dorney, burst onto the scene in 2015 with standout singles "Bonfire" and "She's Casual", followed by their explosive début album, "100", in 2016, which secured their first top 20 record; reaching number 13 on the UK album chart. Bolstered by global fan support, the band swiftly earned major festival slots, including headlining the Festival Republic Stage at Reading & Leeds Festivals and performing a secret set that attracted one of the largest crowds to date. They also performed at BBC Radio 1?s Big Weekend, All Points East, and festivals across Europe and North America, alongside their own sold-out tours.

Between 2017 and 2018, the band's second album, "Dare", climbed to number 12 on the UK album chart, sparking a sold-out tour in Australia and further sold-out shows across the UK and Europe. Notable achievements included selling out Brixton Academy three times, as well as Camden Roundhouse, Rock City, Manchester Apollo, and other prominent venues. In the US, they achieved success with multiple sold-out performances at iconic venues like The Troubadour in Los Angeles, Mercury Lounge, and Webster Hall in New York.

For their third album, the band collaborated with renowned producer John Feldmann (Blink-182, Goldfinger, Twenty One Pilots, All Time Low) in Calabasas, working alongside artists such as Travis Barker (Blink-182), Josh Dun (Twenty One Pilots), Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy), Phem, and others. In 2022, they partnered with Grammy Award-winning producer Gil Norton to release their self-titled album, "The Hunna". Adored by their loyal fanbase of nearly a decade, this album marked a significant new chapter for the band.

Now, in 2025, after a few years without new music, The Hunna return with renewed energy and their signature powerful sound. They are set to release their first-ever EP, "Blue Transitions", with a new album on the horizon and memorable shows planned for 2026 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their debut album, "100".

Low Girl

+ Sean Trelford + Krumpets

On a début album shot through with grief and emotion, the deep, intimate friendship between the members of Low Girl fuels an almost telepathic interplay. "Is It Too Late To Freak Out?" sees the indie four-piece intermingle their voices and guitar melodies while vivid, endlessly curious soundscapes sprawl into extended vamps, holding tight to both tension and tenderness. It's a collection filled with exploratory songs that unfold with momentum, the sound of a group of musicians who are deeply attuned to each other.

At its heart is the idea of telling one's own story: how much to share, how much to keep for oneself: two questions frontperson Sarah Cosgrove asked herself while writing these 11 tracks. Here, she taps into painfully universal themes without being too overt: mental illness, family dynamics, ghosting, feeling small in a big world. "Our music speaks to triumph in the face of misery," she explains. "It's about turning those darker moments into something you feel like you've overcome, and pushing towards making yourself a better person."

Young Knives

+ John Mouse

Ever faithful to their manifesto "Young Knives: not a band, not music, not art", brothers Henry Dartnall and The House of Lords have been turning out weirdly catchy records since the start of the millennium. Initially riding the wave of the mid 2000's British post-punk resurgence with a string of Indie disco classics and top 20 trojan horse hits, they quickly transcended any genre thrown at them by moving into more experimental electronica and noise rock in the 2010's.

This evolution culminated in the release of the critically received "Barbarians" in 2020. Their blues quashing live-streams and Spotify hacking experiments making them self-proclaimed saviours of the pandemic era. The next year sees them back with new and totally unique material as they prepare to sneak their way back into your sub-conscious once again.

The Orchestra (For Now)

In association with Cambridge Folk Festival

Hotly-tipped London-based seven piece The Orchestra (For Now) have released their first ever song "Wake Robin".

Winners of this year's edition of Green Man Rising, opening the main stage at the acclaimed tastemaker festival, and fresh off the back of two sold out shows at London's St Pancras Old Church, the band have also just announced their next London headline at the ICA on 10th April.

"Wake Robin" should not be the work of a band releasing their first song. A dextrous multi-limbed assault on the senses, "Wake Robin" is an 8 minute odyssey, welding orchestral movements with rapid fire drumming and a preacher on the mountain top vocal delivery. The Orchestra (For Now) emphatically bring all these strands together with a confidence and delivery that is a testament to their months of live experience and careful development of their sound.

"The Orchestra (For Now) are further cementing their prime position among next year's ones to watch." - DIY Magazine

"It feels no exaggeration to say that the bands debut is one of the most highly anticipated of the year." - So Young

"A completely distinctive sound, hugely progressive in scope and tone." - Clash Magazine

Bill Ryder-Jones

Hailing from a sleepy seaside town between North Wales and Liverpool, The Wirral's Bill Ryder-Jones is a musical polymath with a decades-long career as a producer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and singer/songwriter with several acclaimed solo records to his credit. In 1996, while still in his early teens, he became the lead guitarist for psychedelic pop outfit The Coral, with whom he spent 12 years, garnering 5 UK top ten albums in-between supporting the likes of Oasis; before embarking on a solo career.

His most elaborately produced LP to date, 2024's "Iechyd Da" (a Welsh term meaning "good health") has propelled him from an artists' artist to a beloved figurehead of British song-writing, continuing his steady move up the UK album charts to hit the top 40, as well as a host of 2 & 3 spots in the specialist categories. At times joyous and grand, at others intimate and heart-breaking, the past few years spent producing other artists has provided that gentle nudge to expand into new territory, from kids choirs and tender strings to dramatically re-contextualised disco samples.

"Iechyd Da feels a culmination of all he set out to do. It's a record that beckons you over and invites you in, that rewards your faith and careful listening with moments of extraordinary beauty, unflinching honesty, a sonic exchange of love. 9/10" - Laura Barton, Uncut

Lemondaze

Swirling guitars and cascading drums, combined with a strong stance on cis and non-cis genders and sexualities, have made Cambridge quartet Lemondaze one of the most intriguing and exciting bands to emerge from the UK underground. Thanks to a hushed female vocal layered over a distorted backdrop that has been likened to artists ranging from Deftones to My Bloody Valentine, the band is now exploring a heavier side of shoegaze, introducing elements of post-rock and breakbeat.

This is an early show, with doors at 6pm, and an expected finish by 9.30pm.

The John Otway Band

John Otway is an English singer-songwriter who has built a sizeable cult audience through extensive touring, a surreal sense of humour and a self-deprecating underdog persona.

From the age of 9, Otway knew he wanted to be a pop star. But even at that young age, having listened to his sister's Beatles and Stones records, he knew he would never be able to do what they do. However, when his sister got the latest Bob Dylan album, he knew there was a place for him and he set about learning how to play guitar.

Otway had to wait until 1977 and the rise of punk before his dream of fame and fortune would finally become a reality. Having caught the eye of the producers of the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test, Otway's performance on that show would grab the attention of the watching audience. Otway, ever the showman, decided to jump on to the amplifier of his colleague during a performance of Bob Lind's Cheryl's Going Home. (Un)fortunately for Otway, he misjudged his leap and sent Wild Willy Barrett's amplifier tumbling as he crashed down straddling the box under the amp.

The full force of the impact was absorbed by the most tender body parts, but in doing this one simple act of recklessness and his wanton disregard for his own safety, Otway was the talk of everyone who watched that evening's programme.

The Orielles

Part of Independent Venue Week

"You've got to die and be reborn between albums", begins Henry Wade, guitarist for The Orielles, describing the foundations of the band's fourth studio album, "Only You Left". "It comes naturally", adds singer and bassist Esmé Hand-Halford, "it's not something we consciously do".

Through this process of creative renewal, the Manchester-based trio - completed by drummer Sidonie Hand-Halford - have managed to weather a pandemic, defy the fickleness of a trend-led music industry, and emerge, phoenix-like, with something familiarly Orielles, yet altogether different.

Recorded in two locations - Hydra and Hamburg - over the summer of 2024, the 11 tracks of "Only You Left" sees the band consolidate the bold experimentation of their previous LP, "Tableau" (2022), with a return to the more stripped-back, song-led approach of their early origins.

After their debut album "We're All Gonna F***ing Die" came out to great response from Kerrang among others, they returned with a sound darker, heavier and more venom than ever, Painkiller. Gaining "Track of the Week" on Dan P Carter's Radio 1 Show as well as support from Nels Hylton and Jack Saunders too.

Yann Tiersen

In an era of climate urgency, Yann Tiersen is redefining touring and challenging capitalist norms. From his solitary winter tour across Europe from Brest to Tallinn with no crew and only his dog for company - driving no faster than 61mph in his van - eschewing the usual trappings of tour consumerism (hotels, dressing room rider) and sleeping in people's gardens, to voyages aboard his sailboat Ninnog, where he sailed through Ireland, the Faroe Islands, Scotland, Shetland, Wales, and Cornwall; he has brought his music to extraordinary landscapes and intimate settings, rejecting the trappings of large scale touring to forge genuine connections with local crews and organisers.

Jim Moray

+ Maz O'Connor

Should you care to look back over the past two decades of British folk music, one musician in particular stands out for having a singular, idiosyncratic vision that has rarely wavered in style and substance. Jim Moray may have garnered initial attention for his digitally-driven approach to traditional music, but reflecting on his seven albums and numerous production credits it's clear that imagination and invention are the real cornerstones of his work. The cinematic vision of albums such as "Skulk" (2012), "Upcetera" (2016), and his game-changing debut "Sweet England" (2003) show just how far the old songs can be taken. His arrangements of traditional songs such as "Gilderoy", "Horkstow Grange" and "Fair Margaret and Sweet William" are regarded as amongst the classics of the folk genre, while his treatment of the ballad "Lord Douglas" has become a must-learn for fingerstyle guitarists.

Green Mind 25th Birthday: Adult DVD

Over their brief time as Adult DVD, the Leeds based 6-piece have become known for their relentless output of infectious hooks and grooves with a euphoric live show that could be mistaken for a club night.

Their first single "Do Something" taken from self-released, self- produced EP "Next Day Shipping" landed straight onto the BBC6 Music B list earning widespread support from Dork, Line of Best Fit, Clash, Farout and more. The group ended 2024 with a packed out show at the iconic 100 Club show and 2025 kicked off with a sold out headline for Line Of Best Fit's "5 Day Forecast" a showcase for the essential new artists of the year. Followed by a sold out twice over (one early, and one late club show, on the same day) at Belgrave Music Hall, in their hometown. Whether tapping into their love for chorus-centric indie or the influence of acid-house floor-fillers, their core appeal remains consistent: undeniable humour; bold, danceable instrumentals; and instantly memorable song-writing.

Green Mind 25th Birthday: The Dears

Formed in 1995, The Dears released their first, ultra lo-fi album, "End of a Hollywood Bedtime Story", in 2000. The orchestral, dark pop sound and dramatic live shows cemented The Dears at the foundation of the then-emerging Canadian indie-rock renaissance. Their live show was described as "the sonic equivalent of seeing the face of god."

In 2001 and 2002, they released two separate concept EPs; "Orchestral Pop Noir Romantique" and "Protest", respectively. In 2003, the release of their second full-length album "No Cities Left" in Canada, and a string of highly anticipated shows at SXSW 2004, prompted the international release of "No Cities Left" with Bella Union. Their 3rd album, "Gang of Losers", which came in 2006, was well received by the press, and was shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize.

The Dears have toured the world over, including performances on Letterman (twofold), Jimmy Kimmel, Jonathan Ross and at Glastonbury, T in the Park, Wireless, Montreal Jazz Fest, Siren Festival, Coachella, Austin City Limits, V Fest, Reading and Leeds, Les Inrocks (France), Montreux Jazz Fest, Istanbul Jazz Fest, Pop Montreal, CMW, NXNE and countless appearances at SXSW. They have shared stages with Spiritualized, Broken Social Scene, Daniel Lanois, Rufus Wainwright, Zemfira, Bloc Party, Keane, Morrissey, The Tragically Hip, Metric and Death From Above, to name a few.

Green Mind 25th Birthday: The Nightingales

Described in John Robb's definitive book on post punk ("Death To Trad Rock") as "the misfits' misfits" and comprising an ever fluctuating line up, based around lyricist/singer Robert Lloyd, the Nightingales enjoyed cult status in the early 80s as darlings of the credible music scene and were championed by John Peel, who said of them "their performances will serve to confirm their excellence when we are far enough distanced from the 1980s to look at the period rationally and other, infinitely better known, bands stand revealed as charlatans".

Since restarting the group have been more productive than ever: releasing seven vinyl singles, a couple of EPs, two 6 song mini albums, nine full length studio albums plus a movie soundtrack and a double live LP. They have regularly toured the UK, mainland Europe and also the USA numerous times, playing various festivals and recording many radio sessions along the way. The band continue to operate with no actual manager, booking agent, et al, but they get by. And they work equally well with pop musicians, rock n rollers and the avant garde.

This is an early show, with doors at 5pm, and an expected finish by 9pm.

From sweaty nights in UK clubs to full-on American mega stadium tours and global charts hits such as "Battleflag" and "Lo Fi's In Ibiza", Lo Fidelity Allstars have been the soundtrack for generations who find the idea of mixed up genres and rocked up beats the norm rather than the exception.

Their career spans winning the "Most Promising New Band NME Brat Award" to becoming dance press crossover pioneering heroes, a debut album that sold half a million copies in the USA alone, smashing the record for 'biggest import album' previously held by The Clash and a "Best Of" compilation which saw them acclaimed "influential genre-mashing electronic mentalists" in an NME review.

Matt Pryor (The Get Up Kids)

Kansas City, Missouri native, Matt Pryor, is a household name for anyone who was attuned to the second and third waves of emo. His genre-defining band, The Get Up Kids, were among a small and legendary group that has shaped the musical landscape for years. However, after growing tired of the boundaries it so needlessly applied, the internationally recognised frontrunners eventually transcended the genre with their later albums and found themselves at home with a more indie sound.

Most recently, on his latest album under his given name, Matt Pryor has presented the world with The Salton Sea, and it is abundantly clear that this is the continuation of a decades-long love affair with music and being outright obsessed with song-writing. Steadfast fans of Pryor?s prolific career will also find themselves treated to a style that is more reminiscent of the works of Paul Westerberg and Red House Painters, that is of course laden with Pryor's signature style, whose DNA is deeply rooted in artists like Elvis Costello and The Afghan Whigs.

Tide Lines

Tide Lines are a band whose story stretches from the wild expanses of the Scottish Highlands to the beating heart of Glasgow. In June 2025, they celebrated a landmark moment with their fourth album "Glasgow Love Story" via their own Tide Lines Music label, which landed at No.1 in Scotland and No.11 in the UK Official Album Charts: their highest UK chart position to date and third Scottish No.1.

The band still record and rehearse in a converted church on the Isle of Mull, where the ever-changing Hebridean landscape seeps naturally into their sound. As vocalist/guitarist Robert Robertson puts it: "We've always felt like our music carries traces of where we're from - the space, the weather, the drama of the Highlands. But it's just as much about connection, about reaching people everywhere." At heart, Tide Lines are a rock band in touch with the geography and the culture that formed them.

Baskery play a combination of classic 'roots music and Americana' with a twist of rule breaking punk turn this much loved style of music on it's head. Their sound oozes style and playfulness and has helped them accrue a number of plaudits and accolades.

The first album, "Fall Among Thieves" (2008) was recorded in Stockholm, co-produced by Lasse Mårtén (Pink; Peter, Bjorn and John; Kelly Clarkson; Lykke Li; Primal Scream ). It quickly established them as an act that people took seriously. In the years that followed they've released several albums and EPs working with the likes of Blackpete (Depeche Mode; Joe Jackson; Peter Fox), Matt Wignall (Cold War Kids; J. Roddy Walston; Wargirl) and were also signed by Dan McCarroll (President and A&R) to Warner Music. "Coyote & Sirens" was released in October 2018, produced and engineered by Andrew Dawson (Kanye West; Rolling Stones; f.u.n; The Revivalists).
