West London five-piece Chubby and the Gang are balanced by two energies – a casual “fuck it” on one side, an active “fuck off” on the other. For every moment of punk imperfection, there’s an intricate flurry of detail. 

Made up of musicians from across the consistently thriving and criminally overlooked UK hardcore scene (ft. The Chisel, Big Cheese and more), Chubby and the Gang marinate its characteristic speed and sick-of-it-all energy in a mixture of 50s pop sounds. The result is a prickly take on the older, more melodic genres that punk derives from, chewing them up and spitting them out into something mangled but revitalised.

Through sheer force of strength, their debut album Speed Kills pummelled its way out of the local hardcore scene and across the Atlantic, where it was met with a landslide of critical acclaim from the likes of Pitchfork and Rolling Stone.

FALLE NIOKE is a singer and percussionist from Guinea Conakry, West Africa. Youkounkoun is the name of his village, where the Coniagui tribe live. Their language is also called Coniagui. Additionally, he sings in French, English, Susu, Fulani and Malinke, and plays a range of African instruments to accompany his voice (gongoma, Bolon, Cassi).
Since arriving in the UK three years ago, after a period travelling around West Africa, singing with a troupe of musicians and learning different cultural rhythms, the 34 year old has been making music with a number of producers, including Johan Hugo, Congo Natty, sir Was and Ghost Culture. His live solo show is a soulful performance of his own creation in a traditional African style, although often performs with Alabaster De Plume, Congo Natty and the band Soma World.
Last year, Falle Nioke built on his significant fan base in Guinea by signing to London label PRAH Recordings to release Youkounkoun, a collaboration with Ghost Culture. The release earned mass critical acclaim and spawned three A Listed singles at BBC Radio 6 Music.

After our sold out event in July, we are back at Elsewhere for our Christmas event. Margate Radio takes over both floors, with dj's (Inky, Jack Goldstein, James Jordan Johnson, Reggy, Robbie Redway, Jaw -G and Yuri Suzuki) from the station playing an ecletic mix of wonderful music. 

We are also extremely excited to have a special live performance from Pigeon (Soundways Records).
Born out of an impromptu post-pub jam session in Margate, the 5-piece group Pigeon swoops onto the scene with their blistering debut EP Yagana.

As the tracks cross effortlessly between Afro-disco, grunge, no wave and jazz, the cohesive symbiotic relationship of the band members is obvious from the start. The powerful vocals of Guinean singer Falle Nioke are complemented by a wealth of talent from Graham Godfrey on drums, Steve Pringle on keys, Tom Dream on guitar and Josh Ludlow on bass.

Having moved to the UK from West Africa in 2018, Falle Nioke has recently been in the spotlight with EPs heavily supported by indie radio and BBC 6 Music playlisters. 

This new path can be attributed to the pedigree of the rest of the group – veteran musicians Steve Pringle and Graham Godfrey are key members of Michael Kiwanuka’s band, the latter also performing with Little Simz, Cleo Sol and SAULT, among others.

Furthermore, Tom Dream and Josh Ludlow are electronic artists in their own right – with a number of artistic projects in the works, as well as having performed together as ambient duo Soma World.

While music fans may be counting down the minutes until the primitive transcendence of their boundless (and joyously sweaty) live sets transfix clubs yet again, Madrid duo The Parrots have hardly been idling. In fact, they are poised for a triumphant return with a brilliant new track and playfully-cinematic video. Maldito proves an evolutionary step for the band that finds them sounding stronger and more realized than ever and also forging a compelling collaboration with internationally renowned Spanish urbano phenomenon C. Tangana (allegedly, the biggest act to come out from Spain since Rosalia).

With its stomping, bass-driven groove, Maldito bridges their characteristic stripped-down melodic garage rock with a fresh sonic perspective. Produced by Tom Furse (The Horrors) and mixed by Claudius Mittendorfer (Parquet Courts, Weezer, Panic! At The Disco, Temples), the Parrots find themselves experimenting with more modern production soundscapes and autotuned hooks, all the while offering up bittersweet lyrics about the internal nuance of letting someone go.

After releasing two of the best singles of the year, Wet Leg’s Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers were catapulted from their confines on the Isle of Wight to sold out venues across the UK and packed-out tents at festivals causing giddy excitement wherever they went. Now, the duo are thrilled to unveil two new songs alongside news of their debut album. The album is called Wet Leg and will be released on April 8th 2022 via Domino. 
Right from the start of Wet Leg, Teasdale and Chambers focus was fun, and a dry sense of humour ripples through the album. "I wanted to write fun songs, I didn't want to indulge sad feelings too much, I wanted to write stuff that's fun to listen to and fun to play,” reveals Rhian. “But then, the sad seeps through, as well."
Wet Leg is sad music for party people, and party music for sad people. It is cathartic and joyful and punk and scuzzy and above all, it's fun. "Wet Leg was originally just supposed to be funny," says Rhian. "As a woman, there's so much put on you, in that your only value is how pretty or cool you look. But we want to be goofy and a little bit rude. We want to write songs that people can dance to. And we want people to have a good time, even if that might not possible all of the time."
Having already sold out their April 2022 UK tour, Wet Leg have confirmed a run of intimate UK regional dates as part of their role as Independent Music Week Ambassadors.

Finding humour in the seemingly inescapable collapse of the human race. It might not be the most conventional approach to a record, but Cassels have already proved themselves to be anything but traditionalists.
Cassels is a London-based duo and brothers, Jim and Loz Beck. They write experimental, punk-infused garage-rock, which is underpinned by part sung, part spoken word lyrics they describe as “an intentionally muddy mix of experience,
opinion, red herrings and fiction”.
The duo just announced their upcoming new record, A Gut Feeling, alongside lead single ‘Mr Henderson Coughs’—a janky, off-kilter, Shellac-esque head bopper with repetition at its core that details “a story of grey areas, extenuating circumstances, and misguided attempts at redemption. It could be seen as darkly comic, but that depends on how dark your sense of humour is”.
The track’s focus on a fictional character is a thematic style that can be found throughout the album: “ I found that setting myself the brief of writing character pieces offered a nice way of sneaking quite personal things in to the songs without being explicitly autobiographical” says guitarist and vocalist Jim. “I think writing can be a great way of unearthing hang ups and becoming acquainted with your own anxieties. In the case of this album, I found an additional pleasure in exploring these anxieties through the vehicle of third person narratives”.
A Gut Feeling will be released in early 2022 via God Unknown Imprint.

“Where so much space/kraut/psych rock quickly disappears into a formulaic miasma, referencing everything but signifying nothing, Weaver’s strong melodic sensibilities and incisive songwriting powers here alchemise raw genre material and turn it into, well, silver.” The Quietus

The Goon Sax are James Harrison, Louis Forster and Riley Jones from Brisbane, Australia. Still in high school when they made their first album Up To Anything in 2016, their brand of transcendent teenage guitar pop found them in end of year lists for BBC6, Billboard and Rough Trade, off to UK/Europe for two tours, and earned them raves from The Guardian, Pitchfork, Spin, Uncut, Rolling Stone and elsewhere.
The Goon Sax have announced new album Mirror II, to be released July 9 th on Matador Records. The band’s third album and first for Matador, Mirror lI is a new beginning: a multi-dimensional eclectic journey of musical craftsmanship that moves from disco to folk to no wave skronk with staggering cohesion. The first-person narratives of their school days have graduated into an immersive and fluid world, one where “the narrator changes, the view-point isn’t definitive”. Songs have been made expansive, more universal, more weird— as introduced by the supernatural avant-pop of first single ‘In The Stone’.

**Andy Bell's Space Station!**
Andy Bell is a musician and DJ. He plays guitar with Ride, makes solo albums as Andy  Bell, puts out electronic music and produces remixes under the name GLOK, and  performs live instrumental gigs under the name ANDY BELL SPACE STATION, as well as DJ’ing.
He’s an ex member of Oasis, Beady Eye, and Hurricane #1. As guitarist or bass player,  he's also appeared live with Pink Floyd, The Creation, Talk Talk, and The Brian  Jonestown Massacre, and has appeared on record as guitarist for Andrew Weatherall,  and recently as bass player for Du Blonde.
ANDY BELL SPACE STATION was born in 2020, during lockdown, when Andy  started a residency at a coffee shop called Lo-Fi that opened up in Crouch End,  North London, where he lives. As a way of reaching people with some form of live  music, Andy started streaming performances from the empty coffee shop, playing  electric guitar along with reworked versions of backing tracks from his various  musical worlds. This is an ongoing residency, but didn’t have a name until Andy was  asked by Stereolab to support them at a recent gig, which meant he had to think of a  name for it. The music comes from GLOK, Andy's solo material, and unreleased stuff  too - the backing tracks are deconstructed and extended in a way that makes them  easy to improvise over. The gigs are instrumental - like a DJ set with live guitar.

deathcrash formed in 2019 and have carved out their own space on the London music scene with their unique, slow building but melodic post-rock. Their previous two EPs, 2019’s ‘Sundown (A Collection of Home Recordings)’ and last year’s ‘People thought my windows were stars’ have brought a devoted audience - their second EP sold out of vinyl within 24 hours. 
The members of deathcrash are from London originally, having formed a band to get into a party, they then bonded over a love of Kosmische music; though their early sessions in 2019 quickly saw them develop a more complex, unique sound. The band have released 
music with their own quiet focus, choosing to let their emotive records and strong live shows win fans over.

Los Bitchos are very possibly your new favourite party band, with instrumental voyages that evoke scenes of swaggering into a desert saloon bar and setting alight to a row of flaming sambucas, or riding shotgun with a Tarantino heroine, or having the fiesta of your lives under a giant piñata with all your friends. They’re the girl gang you definitely wouldn’t mind being stuck on a tour bus with.  

Serra Petale (guitar), Agustina Ruiz (keytar), Josefine Jonsson (bass) and Nic Crawshaw (drums) hail from different parts of the world but met via all-night house parties, or through friends. Their unique sound binds them together, taking in a retro-futuristic blend of Peruvian chicha, Argentine cumbia, Turkish psych and surf guitars. It’s not unlike if Khruangbin – their spiritual cousins, who are fans of Los Bitchos – spent a night getting slammed on cheap mezcal at the Shacklewell Arms in Dalston.
Let The Festivities Begin! is a maximal, Technicolour strut of an album of hallucinatory surf-exotica, with a celebratory title, something you might say as you toast with your shot glass, signalling the end of the pandemic era and ushering in a bright new dawn of wild abandon. “It’s about being together and having a really good time,” say Los Bitchos.

Boot and Spleen makes a statement, both sonically and in its message. Inspired by the dark history of British colonialism in India, it asks the question: “What is it to be British? What's that identity now, in 2019? What sort of behaviours are allowed towards minorities, or from minorities towards the majority?”
There’s no simple answer to those questions but Melt Yourself Down are set to ignite debate by asking them. Founded by sax innovator Pete Wareham and fronted by lead vocalist Kush Gaya, they play into a great tradition of British insurgents that spans decades and genres, from the Sex Pistols to Radiohead, and from Kate Tempest to Young Fathers. Yet the band’s lineage is also connected to jazz’s rich history of sticking a middle finger to The Man. “Jazz was the wild, dirty music of the 20s, 30s,” says Kush. “It was not a sit down, polite, experience.” Pete adds: “I love jazz best when it feels dangerous.”

This new music is the band’s strongest statement yet, representing both a peak of musical synthesis for the band as well as a personal triumph. Working with production legends Youth and Ben Hillier, the band have reimagined themselves and created a bruising re-up of their signature sound with added synths, anthems and epic joyrides.

“So much has changed in the world since we started writing in 2016” says Pete. “We couldn’t ignore any of it and this new music is borne from our feelings of cultural restlessness in this constantly shifting global climate”.
Melt Yourself Down have firmly cemented themselves at the forefront of today’s music innovators. The desire to create new sonic pathways is an integral philosophy to the band, whose two critically-lauded albums to date have alchemised influences from Noisy No Wave to Nubian Rhythms to create an eclectic, high energy and pan-global kind of punk rock.
Showcasing the prolific talents of saxophonist Pete Wareham, Melt Yourself Down rose from the ashes of his previous outfit Acoustic Ladyland and from everything he learned with Polar Bear. His work in reinventing and defying musical genres has paved the way for acts such as Comet is Coming, Black Flower and mercury prize nominated Sons of Kemet, to name a handful.

With their increasingly attuned sense to the world around them and each other, more people than ever will undoubtably be embracing the new sound of Melt Yourself Down.

'Lynks is uncompromisingly entertaining, bringing the aesthetics and atmosphere of the most raucous drag shows to his pop performances.

Essentially Willie and the Bandits is a classic blues rock three piece much in the vein of Cream or The Jimi Hendrix experience. But in a similar way to how these bands pushed the genre in their time, Wille and the Bandits try to take their sound beyond what is expected of such a traditional line up.

The use of more bizarre instrumentation and eclectic influences in the song writing often pushes them more into a world music or progressive category. Having toured with artists such as Deep Purple through to the John Butler trio and played major festivals across Europe, the band seem to leave an equally astounding impression on audiences of all ages and musical backgrounds with their energetic and soulful performances.

Japanese noise rock band Melt Banana found more success in the U.S. and the U.K. than in their own country, gaining a small but dedicated fan base among American and European punk rock fans. Although their music sounds noticeably different from any sort of traditional punk, it contains some punk elements: shrieking vocals, overdriven guitars, and one-and-a-half-minute songs. Melt Banana’s unique style, however, comes as a result of the distinctly piercing vocals of lead singer Yasuko O., as well as the frenzied, effect-charged playing of guitarist Agata. Searing, intense, and mind-blowingly fast are perhaps the first adjectives that come to mind when listening to Melt Banana’s music. Try to imagine an even more energetic incarnation of the Boredoms.
“A band who have justifiably been championed across the world, Tokyo’s MELT-BANANA have been responsible for some of the most complex punk rock ever made…. that far outshines ninety-nine percent of most other bands out there. The band once described their live show as “Shooting machine gun and laser beam, chaos in order”. And I think that pretty much sums them up.” – Olli Siebelt, BBC
“MELT-BANANA are in a league of their own. There are other extreme hardcore bands out there who are experimental and unique but MELT-BANANA are more than that. They are giants amongst infants. Masters amongst pupils. Kings amongst serfs. Nobody can do what they do and nobody can adequately use words to describe them.”  -Jeb, Crass Menagerie
“That Melt-Banana is making some of the best music of their career—over 20 years into the band’s existence—speaks to the universal and transcendent quality of their noise. The landscape of media, society, and even the microcosm of noise rock has changed greatly, but Onuki and Agata have locked jaws on the diametric constants: energy versus agitation, phobia versus euphoria, and instant nostalgia versus the relentless pursuit of the upgrade.” -Jason Heller, Pitchfork.
If all that hasn’t managed to convince you to see Melt Banana for yourself, then it’s worth also noting that the legendary John Peel went as far as to describe them as “one of the world’s great bands”.

Enola Gay are a Belfast based Irish noise rock/post-punk 4-piece formed in late 2019. With socially aware vocals and a bed of reverb-soaked buzz-saw guitar layered on top of a driving rhythm thatdraws as much inspiration from left-field electronica as it does from post-punk heroes of the late 70s / early 80s. Enola Gay have already crafted a unique sound that has drawn widespread acclaim from key industry figures and music fans around the globe, culminating with them being chosen to perform at IMW, ESNS, and SXSW.

Quickly following their second single ‘Sofa Surfing’ that lead BBC 6Music’s Steve Lemacq to tout them as one of the next big acts, in addition to performances at the well-established and highly regarded showcases, Ireland Music Week, Eurosonic and SXSW, Belfast mob Enola Gay make their highly anticipated return with the noisier and heavier track ‘Through Men’s Eyes’. Recorded in January 2020 with Chris
Ryan (Just Mustard/NewDad/ Robocobra Quartet), Enola spill their disgust with the Ulster Rugby rape trial, held in their hometown of Belfast; how it was handled, their disdain for lad culture and how the justice system is rigged against women.
