Laughter

Twen is a van-lifeing rock band that emerged onto the east coast music scene in 2017 with their distinct blend of shoegaze, indie rock, and post-punk influences. Though the band was formed in 2016 by lead vocalist Jane Fitzimmons and guitarist Ian Rollins Jones, their emergence post-pandemic has marked the beginning of what is essentially an entirely new project; save for their keeping the name “Twen”.

This latest chapter is marked by the band booking their own tours, designing and screen printing their own merch, directing and editing their own music videos, and producing and mixing their own albums; all to a degree which would seem impossible to believe, if you didn’t know that they also built their own mobile-home from scratch and have been living in it, traversing the North American continent for the past 3 years.

The duo-led 5 piece are readying their 3rd LP to be released in 2024, but have already debuted lead single ‘SeaStar’; an early 00’s throwback to Southern California beach anthems that finds the band further evolving from the coy, shoegaze aesthetics of ‘Awestruck’ (2019) – to a modern classicism; characterized on their 2nd LP ‘One Stop Shop’ (2022) by political (yet hopeful) lyrics, indelible hooks and a home-grown sonic mix that rewards the listener with each subsequent spin.

Healees formed in 2015 when Bryan Quinn and Renaud Chauré met and realised they shared a strong interest for guitar pedals and new wave bands. They were joined soon after by Hillevi Robertsson (bass guitar) and Arthur Chen (drums), self-releasing the ‘Heal’s Beals’ demo in 2018. This Paris-based Breton/American/Swedish/Belgian four-piece developed a beautiful shoegaze-tinted noisy pop. Their track The Garden was one of the highlights of the ‘Stratigraphy’ compilation released by Hidden Bay in late 2020. A handful of demos posted to Bandcamp led to an 8-song self titled EP also on Toulouse's Hidden Bay Records in 2022. The band is currently at work on their debut LP.

Following their chaotic debut show at East London’s Shacklewell Arms, Laughter cemented their place in the scene and have since shared the stage with Deeper (Sub Pop), Man/Woman/Chainsaw, Trash Boat and Mould. Word quickly spread and their reputation as one of London’s loudest, most exciting emerging live acts, combined with the release of their debut single ‘Nothing’, meant selling out their first headline show at Hackney’s Paper Dress Vintage.

After 10 years performing all around Europe with The Mescaline Babies, lead member Kalle decided to disband the The Mescaline Babies.

Following all Covid lockdowns, Kalle decided to come back with another band: Loy Ray.

Going towards a more Shoegaze and Noise sound, Kalle wrote several songs with a good blend of shoegaze, noise, and post-punk, with influences ranging from My Bloody Valentine to Sonic Youth.

After forming a three-piece band, with Bish (ex drums for Flesh for Lulu) and his friend Marlg on bass, Loy Ray are now ready to share these beautiful and unique sonic sounds with the world!

Band Members:

Kalle - Guitar and Voice

Marlg - Bass
