Launch of new live music night gives cause to Assemble
From this autumn, popular cultural hub and subterranean venue, The Bike Shed Theatre bar will host a new monthly live music night featuring some of the most exciting hotly tipped upcoming music acts from across the UK. The new night is curated by Devon based independent live music promoter Assemble.
Assemble is headed up by promoter Danielle Rose, previously Live Art Producer at Dartington Hall, and currently one of only 12 producers across the UK selected by the PRS Foundation for their New Music Plus UK programme. With events already taking place in Totnes and Plymouth, Assemble which proudly roots itself in the South West, has a commitment to bringing alternative and new music down to the region south of Bristol.
The first event on Sunday 27 October features Liverpool-based indie pop trio All We Are, supported by South Devon based act The Livework Unit. This will be All We Are’s first appearance in Exeter with their catchy psychedelic-tinged pop arrangements which have been getting national radio play and even had Lauren Laverne telling listeners that she can’t stop listening to them. All We Are, who’ve just been signed to leading booking agent CODA’s roster, have also recently featured in Huw Stephens’ Top 5 ones to watch column in NME.
Tickets: £6 advance from Bike Shed Theatre's box office www.bikeshedtheatre.co.uk or (01392) 434169). £8 on the door.
