ĠENN. An innovative cocktail of musical influences - from ’70s psych and alternative rock to Mediterranean folk - this Brighton-based, transnational sisterhood spits unfazed roars over guitar that soars. DIY in spirit, they make the mould rather than submitting to it, crafting a sound that’s unpinnable in all the best ways. Raucous and rustically cool.

Jana Horn + Support From the first line on Jana Horn's eponymous third album, "nothing prepares you for this, or is a cure," the tone is set for a record that is enunciated as it is open. Akin to the desert landscape where it was recorded-Sonic Ranch, in west Texas-the work's dry production and use of silence, ringing guitar and discordant flute, has a vitality calling back to early Cat Power/Moon Pix. Recorded essentially as a trio with Adam Jones and Jade Guterman-how the New York-based band performs-this ten-song album has Horn's spoken-sung, stark vocals in useful conflict with the melodic, earworm quality of Guterman's bass, and Jones' jazz and punk-influenced approach to drums. The flute and clarinet of Adelyn Strei diverges and coalesces, spirit-like ("Go on, move your body," "Untitled (Cig)"), while pianist Miles Hewitt grounds, sometimes with a single note repeated, like a hammer on a nail ("All in bet"). This third iteration from Horn reveals the artist at perhaps her most distilled and resourceful, hitting on a feeling with a touch

Franz Ferdinand bring their electrifying global tour of their sixth studio album, The Human Fear, to Brighton Dome! Ever since their beginnings, throwing illegal parties in condemned Glasgow buildings, Franz Ferdinand have been defined by a fresh, unfading, forward-facing outlook. A transgressive art-school perspective, but with a love of a big song. A big riff. A big idea. Somewhat contrary. Unafraid to dance. Unafraid to think. Unafraid to fear.Their sixth studio album, The Human Fear, courses with an energy that makes you feel very much alive. Fear makes you feel alive. Awake. A life without fear is a life asleep. Fear is what shows us our humanity. It’s why we search for it in horror films or extreme physical activities. The most life-defining moments are shaped by fear: acknowledging, accepting, or overcoming it.Maybe this is a set of songs about fear. But maybe all that chat about Human Fear is superfluous. Maybe this is just a set of bangers from an era-defining band continuing their unquestionably living legacy. Is that something to be afraid of?Living a life awake. There is nothing that makes you feel more awake than The Human Fear. Presented by Crosstown Concerts  

Boy & Bear. Boy & Bear swiftly catapulted onto the world stage releasing their double-platinum debut album Moonfire which went on to receive five coveted ARIA awards.

With a new album on the way and a uniquely compelling live show that has earned the band the glowing reputation as one of Australia’s most outstanding live acts and captivating musical exports, Boy & Bear continue to evolve and impress.

Sleaford Mods.
