RedSkies
Live Music

RedSkies

Get ready for a truly unique night of live music with Redskies, Lukash and PHON. You will hear heavy alternative grunge, punk, hardcore stoner rock and everything inbetween from this incredible lineup. Redskies are a young band that want to create waves in the UK’s rising alt-rock scene. They blend the lines between post-grunge, stoner rock riffs and alt-rock, and boast choruses that’ll stick with you for a long time and blues solos which, to quote school of rock, are ‘face melters’. They promise to let you hear something truly unique. Lukash, born out of the necessity to fill a support slot in the early 2000s, but going on to tear up venues up and down the UK, the Worcester born, high energy trio are back after 20 years for a very special one off show. Heavily influenced by the American pop punk/rock scene of the naughties, Lukash return to do what they’ve always done best; turn up, throw down, pour out blood and sweat on stage, then leave. Probably for a lie down as they’re not in their 20s any more. https://open.spotify.com/artist/00ikUQ3P4vPyWHmb7a7mVu?si=SUwvQOp_SaCiLOlUACM2lA https://open.spotify.com/artist/3vdjBAtjnyCBJykyfGkqUB?si=Sqtd4kfORRKIHqCYC5yMLg

Music Spoken Here presents Boomslang

High-intensity jazz virtuosity with the driving energy of drum & bass, the weight of hard rock, and the sonic edge of electronic production Boomslang is a UK-based jazz fusion powerhouse pushing the genre into new territory. Led by bassist Kyle Welch, the band fuses high-intensity jazz virtuosity with the driving energy of drum & bass, the weight of hard rock, and the sonic edge of electronic production. Known for their uniquely interactive live performances, Boomslang thrive on real-time musical conversation — twisting complex harmony, breakneck rhythms and deep grooves into something unpredictable and electrifying, with Nat Evans on EWI adding soaring, otherworldly lead lines that blur the line between human and machine. Joined by Nathan Thomas and Dom Holyoake, Boomslang’s music sits at the crossroads of Tribal Tech’s precision, Chick Corea Electric Band’s fusion legacy and Squarepusher’s boundary-breaking intensity — delivering a sound that’s as technically fearless as it is physically moving. Boomslang don’t just play jazz fusion; they rewire it. https://open.spotify.com/artist/3883MzktmSPDQRDYdJeFY7?si=h681VsL7RIGO-8ezHqiong

Music Spoken Here presents Frederico Heliodoro

Progressive modern music from Brazil, combining jazz, electronic music, rock & blues with echoes of Milton Nascimento, Toninho Horta and Beto Guedes Frederico Heliodoro was born in Rio de Janeiro, grew up in Belo Horizonte and spent a few years in São Paulo before returning to Rio, where he currently lives. Celebrating ten years of international touring, Frederico presents a new concert featuring music from his albums The Weight of the News, Máximos Eventos and Gávea Days Compact, alongside recent compositions written in Rio de Janeiro. The new material reflects a growing connection with the city, its atmosphere, its neighbourhoods and its particular sense of mystery, heard in pieces such as Fantasia Carioca and Ciclo do Leme. Bringing together different moments of his artistic journey, the program moves between older and newer works while maintaining a strong personal voice shaped by years of performing and collaborating with artists such as Kurt Rosenwinkel, Milton Nascimento, Louis Cole and Zé Ibarra. Rather than looking back, this concert offers a glimpse of where that journey has arrived today. Frederico, on lead bass and vocals, will be joined by Birmingham legend Tom Ford on bass and Newcastle’s Knats drummer King Ike-Elechi. A keys player, yet to be confirmed will complete the lineup. https://open.spotify.com/artist/7768aDn2jkoYwF7iHccGlE?si=bRY0qxXuSy-BMKcwgHvHBA
