Rough Trade Bristol is very excited to present an in-store Q&A with James Acaster. This unique event celebrates the release of Temps' album 'Party Gator Purgatory' released via Bella Union.

*Temps is a 40-strong international music collective, consisting of artists across multiple genres, fronted by a cartoon alligator.*

*Featuring such geniuses as Quelle Chris, John Dieterich, Joana Gomila, Laia Vallès and Seb Rochford, Temps’ ten-track debut Party Gator Purgatory was produced, curated and devised by UK stand-up comedian James Acaster. Released via Bella Union, this mind-bending opus rose from the ashes of an aborted mockumentary made with Louis Theroux’s money.*

*Vast in scope and scale, and fizzing with an experimental energy, the trippy Party Gator Purgatory manages to blend a host of ideas, guests and moods into an album that draws you into its own unique world. “I became completely obsessed with this project,” states Acaster as he hand-draws the album’s artwork himself, using a trio of highlighter pens, “it was all I focussed on for two years and we ended up making my favourite thing ever. I hope people enjoy it.”*

•••DROOGS•••  
DROOGS are a three-piece band from Bristol formed in 2017 comprising of Joe Harding (vocals and guitar), Ben Fisher (bass) and Sam Taylor (drums) They play violent and irreverent, bass-driven Punk which draws inspiration from The Fat White Family, John Cooper Clarke and The Damned.

•••BIRDMAN CULT•••  
Bristol post-punks and garage rock cultists playing big riff anthems to shake your bits to!

"This is a big-sounding band, like it belongs in a stadium rather than a small venue.

•••WAKEY WAKEY RISE AND SHINE•••A full-bodied 4 piece with floral notes, earthy undertones and a smooth finish.

“upbeat and positive. A real collage of wavy guitars and synths woven together with solid rhythm section and a main guitar line that just keeps giving and giving throughout.” clunkmag.com

•••PET INSURANCE•••

Bristol-based art rock, post-punk three-piece combining angular guitar lines and dynamic drums with the charisma of an Essex-born frontman singing about the anxieties and isolation of modern life, through to his desire to become a TV opera singer.

Blending the top lines of 60’s west coast psychedelic country, with the dark and moody tones of 80’s ballads. Think safe as milk-era Beefheart meets Robert Smith, wrapped up with a post-punk drive.

This is an 18+ event.

Bob Stanley: 'Yeah Yeah Yeah' In Conversation with Siân Pattenden + Signing

In his over 10 years of releasing records, the music of Will Samson has always been underpinned with ambient characteristics and qualities. Though often led by his tender voice, Samson’s work is deeply textural, always offering as much space for instrumental excursions as the lyrical narratives he layers above them. Until now, Will has considered his solely-ambient work more as side-projects, contemplative digressions from his more defined musical path. Having previously released an EP via 12k back in 2016, Samson returns to Taylor Deupree’s experimental label to fully embrace the genre with the release of the Harp Swells LP – his first full-length ambient album.

Conceived and composed in Almada, Portugal, in the makeshift studio space he shares with Casper Clausen of Efterklang, Harp Swells is both meditative and deliberately, consciously light. Where Samson’s previous work has been steered by melancholy – by a desire to heal himself through his music – here Will strives for brightness; an antidote to the frustrations that had swelled within him over the past few years.

This is a 14+ event (14-17 must be accompanied by an adult).
