Smash the Patriarchy! 

Fundraiser for # MeTU

Campaign to end misogyny in the trade union movement.

An unmissable, power packed night to smash the patriarchy! Women led bands bring their energy to Peckham Audio for a much-needed fundraiser at a key moment for one of the most important campaigns in Britain – #MeTU. 

Featuring 

THE MENSTRUAL CRAMPS

DIY queer punk provocateurs – and one of the most exciting bands in the UK

JOLI BLON CAJUN BAND

Stomping dance tunes from the swamps of Louisiana 

BREAK THE CODE

Joyous, politically conscious drum and bass from this women’s collective.

#MeTU are a group of women and non-binary trade unionists committed to ending sexism, sexual harassment and violence, and bullying in the labour movement. Over the past two years, sisters bravely speaking out accompanied by audacious direct action have led to the exposure of a misogynistic, toxic culture at the top of our trade unions, where women are harassed, assaulted and bullied – and then forced out of the movement when they dare to complain, often being pressurised into signing non-disclosure agreements to silence them.

This benefit comes at a crucial point in the campaign, with staff at three trade unions – GMB, TSSA and UCU preparing for strike action to change this culture once and for all. MeTU needs money to build the struggle. This is the time to reclaim our unions, put them in control of the members rather than white men in power on six figure salaries, and build a movement fighting fit to confront the multiple crises we face in society.

Audio Live presents The Dylan RC sextet

London-based jazz fusion band brought together with the single aspiration of writing music they love and enjoy. Despite being newly formed, the band members themselves have gained an incredible amount of experience, playing at top venues including Jazz Café, Love Supreme, We Out Here, Roundhouse and many more.

Led by trombonist Dylan Rennie-Carter, the band showcase their talent and creativity through their original compositions, merging genres such as jazz, Latin, afro and gospel.

Band members:

Dylan Rennie-Carter - Trombone

Sid moon - Trumpet

Tami Adebanjo - Guitar

Kavi Maraj - Bass

Louis Chapman - Drums

Shunyangyi Li - Piano

w/ support from Cityscape Ensemble

Spearheaded by flautist and bandleader Harry Trevillion, Cityscape Ensemble formed after meeting at the FOLD jam session, held initially in Hilly Fields Park in Lewisham at the easing of lockdown, before taking it's home at the Matchstick Piehouse in Deptford. The project's compositions tend to be influenced by minimalist composers Steve Reich and Terry Riley: motifs and melodic phrases repeat and are used as frameworks for expansive, creative improvisation or to accompany soaring melodies. This approach leads to pieces inspired by everything from Cornish landscapes to mental health struggles.

The members of the project themselves have collaborated with important figures in UK jazz and are involved with the jazz projects of the future. This breadth of experience, paired with Trevillion's unique ear for composition and aptitude on an unusual instrument for the genre (the flute) results in a project which, truly, sounds like no-other. To date, they have played at London's finest jazz clubs (Pizza Express SOHO, Toulouse Lautrec, Jazz in the Round etc) and are set for an appearance at the biggest jazz festival in the UK: Love Supreme.

With THE Murphi on decks.

EuroHeedfest 12: The 12th Annual European Guided By Voices appreciation day
Peckham Audio
Saturday May 11th

We are back to celebrate all things Robert Pollard, GBV and associated acts at a new venue and are delighted to be welcoming back, for his first performance at the event in ten years, BAFTA award winning actor & director, star of House of the Dragon and Riding The Low frontman, Paddy Considine!

Paddy is a huge GBV fan and will be performing a personally selected set of bangers with EuroHeedfest house band Band Of Pricks.

Band Of Pricks will also be performing their customary set of hits and crowd favourites.

There will also be the return of the live band karaoke, this year we will be playing classic album Bee Thousand in full in its 30th year of existence, with YOU as the singer!  Please email joinmyfreakinband[at]hotmail.co.uk to register interest in performing.

We are also very excited to announce the EuroHeedfest debut of Joseph Hooligan, fronted by Joseph Considine, who like his father, who he performed with at the GBV40 event in Dayton, Ohio in 2023, is a huge talent and a massive GBV nut.  The set will be a full band set which Joseph describes as "an all-out Bob set full of the deep cuts, anthems and epics that hold a special place in my history as a fan and musician".

Finally, we are very much hoping to welcome back a band who have rocked the EuroHeedfest stage at the last few editions - Cocks of the Block featuring Carl and Bjorn from Razorlight - though they cannot currently confirm definite participation due to potential commitments with Razorlight.

---- ---- ----

A couple of things to note:

Due to the likelihood of increased demand for tickets for this year's event, we have had to move from our traditional home of the Stags Head this year as the venue capacity simply would have been too small to accommodate everyone wishing to attend.  Peckham Audio, the venue for this year's event, is a superb venue for live music, but does not have a dedicated outdoor space, which I realise EuroHeedfest veterans will have become accustomed to.  For those wishing to renew the tradition of a mid-afternoon meet, we encourage everyone to head to nearby bar Four Quarters for a pre-gig drink and chat, where there are retro arcade machines galore for people to enjoy.  We also have exclusive use of the Four Quarters basement from 3:00pm to 5:00pm where we will hold the acoustic open mic section this year.  Entry is free to Four Quarters.  Please make sure you get down to Peckham Audio as soon after doors at 5:00pm as possible though, as the Bee Thousand karaoke will start at 5:30pm sharp.

Finally, we must stress that this is a community and fan-run event and in purchasing a ticket you are purchasing a ticket for the event as a whole.  In the unlikely event any individual act has to pull out, the event will still be going ahead and we do not have the provision to offer refunds.

Thank you.  The club is open for another year.  Let's rock!

Sister Grace & WLDAN @ Peckham Audio

Introducing exciting emerging indie-driven bands to a hungry new audience.

The latest in a series of nationwide artist showcases, this is the place as the scene to get seen for up and coming talent. The event will feature sensational performances in the Rap, Grime, Afrobeats, R&B and HipHop genre. And is always a guaranteed vibey night to support local talent. 

Hailing from Brixton, south London, Noah Lennon is a 19-year-old aspiring musician, actor and writer, producing his own songs from his bedroom.

On his 18th birthday, he released his debut single “Mr Ordinary”, establishing a unique sound, with electronic, alternate instrumentation and innovative lyrics. Later that year, Noah released “Real World”, a more conscious track with highly impressive rhyme schemes and cinematic, synth-heavy production over a boom bap-style drum.

After completing his A-Levels in June 2023, Noah released his debut EP, “Reality Check”, a 7-track journey through a range of sounds and styles, with catchy hooks, excellent verses, complex production, and more. This was then followed up by “Spoken Word Collection 1”, a 3 track EP of personal spoken word poems that were scored with ambient production.

In 2024, Noah is working on his best music yet. Having just released the fantastic lead single “Where did u go” from his upcoming project “Dance Break”, we can sense an exciting new direction in his artistic path is brewing.

Two of London's most exciting new bands More Money + holden bring their immersive live sets to Peckham Audio on April 24th.

Million Square, the London based electro-acoustic duo of Max Luthert (electronics) and Duncan Eagles (saxophones). Together they bridge the worlds of electronica and contemporary improvised music with analogue, digital and acoustic instruments and the result is a unique and futuristic output. Tonight they will be launching their new EP ARCADE.

“We have taken a darker and more aggressive approach to the music on this EP continuing with the modular system at the heart of the sound. It feels like we’ve taken what we were doing on our previous EP and pushed it further and harder."

Taking influence from Autechre, Craig Taborn, Richard Devine, Marcus Strickland, Logan Richardson and John Coltrane, the duo released their debut EP ‘Between Suns’ in 2018 and have collectively performed with the likes of Shabaka Hutchings, Bill Laurance, Melt Yourself Down, Nubya Garcia and Moses Boyd.

"Duncan Eagles and Max Luthert construct an interlocking framework of beat and blip like currents pulsing through a hot circuit board" - The Wire

“Million Square are a band I’m particularly excited about. Led by two eclectic and masterful musicians. They’re on the fringe of electronic and acoustic brilliance. I'‘m looking forward to hearing much more from them.” Moses Boyd

This year we're coming correct with a series of in-house live shows that define what we truly love at Peckham Audio

Our third installment features the nu-jazz fusion sounds of IN THE NAME OF RA

w/ support from acoustic electronica duo KESSONCODA

IN THE NAME OF RA are an up and coming quartet influenced by world, jazz and improvised music. Hailing from all over the UK and beyond, we aim to bring an eclectic and powerful sound to our audiences that inspire people to move and dance!

Discernible by their enveloping sound KESSACONDA are a duo consisting of drummer Thomas Sunney and pianist Filip Sowa, based in Perivale West London. Standing firm between acoustic tradition and electronica, Kessoncoda is founded on a unique blend of melodic ostinato-laced piano and unwavering drums. Drawing on their array of musical interests Fil and Tom take influence from rock, electronica, ambient, breakbeat and soundtracks for film. While their artist influences Squarepusher, Radiohead and Clark create echoes of lulling dance and electronica in their tracks.

Critically acclaimed UK indie rock heroes of the late 00's, 4 or 5 Magicians and William reunite to play a show in each of their hometowns, this Easter.

+ guests Pleasure Complex.

*PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN EARLY SHOW AND THE FIRST ACT WILL BE ON STAGE AT 7:00pm*

--- ---

After 4 or 5 years of fun, Brighton's 4 or 5 Magicians called time in 2010 on a stint bothering the music industry which included plenty of airplay and multiple Single of the Week awards on various BBC Radio 1, Radio 2 and 6 Music shows; a Radio 1 Peel Session at Maida Vale studios; a critically acclaimed album on the Smalltown America label (Jetplane Landing; And So I Watch You From Afar; Fighting With Wire); nods, among many others, from the NME ("potentially the best young songwriter in the UK") and Rocksound ("pop genius") for frontman Dan Ormsby; and a somewhat bizarre article in an Irish newspaper where Dan beat Shirley Bassey 7-3 in a head to head, in addition to the band claiming Album of the Month ahead of the Dame herself and The Best Of The Libertines.  

Along the way they were dubbed "The British Pavement" in an NME live review; compared favourably by the press with other 90s indie rock heroes like Pixies, Guided By Voices and Dinosaur Jr, as well as garnering lyrical comparisons to the Arctic Monkeys, The Streets and Pulp; and played with some excellent bands you haven't heard of, plus a fair few you might have, like Supergrass, The Clean, Japandroids, The Thermals, Los Campesinos, Yeasayer and the man, the legend, Lethal Bizzle.

15 years on from their one and only full length album release 'Empty, Derivative, Pop Songs', the band are back with a weekend of live shows, playing all the classics you vaguely remember with the cream of 15 years worth of "new" material to boot, with recording and (possibly) further shows planned for later in the year.

Hailing from South-East London, blistering 3-piece indie punk assault William tore up stages all over the UK in the second half of the 00's, releasing their brilliant full length debut Self In Fiction in 2008 on Tough Love Records (Toy; Ulrika Spacek; The Stroppies).  With a sound recalling the gleeful bounce and pounding intensity of early Idlewild and a hint of mid 90s Placebo, in addition to a definite American twinge reminiscent of The Promise Ring and Superchunk, William are back with some exciting new material alongside their superb late '00s tunes.

--- --- 

South London's finest hard-pop group Pleasure Complex will be joining the fun. Slick, upbeat tunes recalling Talking Heads and Roxy Music with a modern twist.
