Brudenell Presents... Prostitute
2025-11-15 19:30 - 23:00
Formed in 2020 in Dearborn, Michigan, Prostitute is an experimental post-punk and Arab rock band. Born out of the isolation of the COVID-19 lockdown, the band’s debut album, Attempted Martyr, was written in the midst of global and personal turmoil, capturing the zeitgeist of a world unraveling. A loose concept record, it chronicles the rise and fall of a doomed zealot whose pursuit of holy vengeance spirals into a psychotic orgy of violence, greed, and lust.
The band was initially formed by Moe Kazra who enlisted childhood friends Andrew Kaster and Dylan Zaranski, with Ross Babinski and Bret Wall later completing the lineup. Together, they self-funded the album, working with legendary engineer Chris Koltay to shape a sound that’s both abrasive and hypnotic—an unrelenting blend of warped guitars, primitive basslines, frenzied drumming, and corrosive synthesizers, interwoven with samples from diverse cultures, ranging from African to Middle Eastern and East Asian influences.
Tracks like “All Hail” (inspired by the 1977 Hanafi Siege of Washington D.C.) immerses listeners in a volatile, hostage-like environment. “Judge” channels Milton’s Satan in a chilling rallying cry, while “Body Meat” grapples with religious desperation and the tenuous boundary between faith and madness. Khachab and Kaster’s lyrics have been described by Pitchfork as “disturbingly poetic” with the ability to “lacerate with image alone.” Crude sloganeering and scenes of horrific violence are juxtaposed with literary allusion and Islamic symbolism, creating what the band calls a “theatricalization of terrorism.” Through this lens, they examine and critique the xenophobic stereotypes targeted at Arabs, distorting them into grotesque caricatures.
Over the past four years, Prostitute has established a reputation for their punishing, high-energy performances. The band’s live shows, described as “dangerous” and “volatile”, finds Moe delivering politically charged sermons atop a deafening bacchanal of sound. In 2023, Prostitute performed at the re-opening of the iconic UFO Bar in Detroit, followed by a series of benefit concerts for Palestine, Lebanon, and Sudan. These performances solidified their growing presence, leading to invites to play at No Rest Fest and New Colossus Festival.
As Prostitute continues work on their sophomore album, they are delving deeper into electronic and Arabic dance influences, drawing inspiration from the ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon. Their sound continues to evolve, with new tracks incorporating dabke rhythms, Arabesque melodicism, and industrial synth textures, all while retaining the same anarchic energy that defines their unique sound.

Alexos Fox, an introverted academic and polio survivor, is naturally quite sad when the long-time butler of his household, the man who all but raised him, retires. He is not at all prepared for the old man’s replacement: his exceedingly attractive and painfully tempting nephew.
Unbeknownst to Alexos, his old butler chose Henry Sutton hoping the two of them might marry their interests together, and the gentleman is as suspicious as he is entranced when the new butler comes to him with talks of a secret marriage between them.
M/M erotic romance, rated E, 100k. Set 1927, primarily in West Sussex, England. Featuring themes of disability, chronic pain, piercings and tattoos, loneliness and isolation, bodily autonomy, class dynamics, a butler/gentleman relationship, joyful non-monogamy and casual sex.

Natural Jackrz

Imagine Queer Acid House for the Hot, the Bold, and the Jackin’
Natural Jackrz is a new club night rooted in queer energy and acid house ecstasy. We’re bringing back the raw, sweat-drenched spirit of the underground — pulsing 303s, stripped-back grooves, and that unmistakable jackin’ rhythm that moves you. This night is for the beautifully unfiltered: bodies in motion, eyes closed, sweat glistening under lights. Think sexy, inclusive, and unashamedly euphoric. A space to lose yourself, find your people, and ride the acid groove ‘til sunrise. Give the dancefloor back to the queers who jack.

Tulpa, Live in Leeds (Album Launch)
2025-11-29 19:30 - 23:00
ulpa are an indie rock band from Leeds. Their sound contrasts detuned and lo-fi guitar textures with hyper-melodic vocals, creating songs with emotional warmth and sonic intrigue. The group consists of Josie Kirk, Daniel Hyndman, Myles Kirks and Mike Ainsley. The band have recently supported Throwing Muses, Pale Blue Eyes and Bug Club and have recently done a live session for Marc Riley and Gideon Coe on BBC6 Music.
Not much is known about Tulpa, they don’t have any songs online yet (Just a live video of the band playing in a chapel in Wakefield) but in the quieter corners of the UK’s DIY festivals and indie venues they amass a following of lovers of noise, melody and good rock music. Live their songs lean into texture and tone creating a dreamy atmosphere and distortion that feels like a big hug. The songs meander from catchy hooks into tangents of musical experimentation and guitar wizardry.
Their debut album ‘Monster of the Week’ is out on Skepwax records this November. It was recorded by Jamie Lockhart ( The Cribs, Mush, Drahla). The record is the first ever album to be produced at Jamie’s new studio at Lamigo Bay, a picturesque and remote region of the Highlands.
A Tulpa is a mythical being manifested into existence through the act of concentrated thought, like an imaginary friend brought to life but (sometimes) scarier. The lyrics on ‘Monster of the Week’ sometimes riff on the esoteric, strange and cultish. More often than not though, the songs are about the simple stuff – universal emotions expressed sometimes directly and sometimes more abstractly through playful imagery.
FFO: Breeders, Pavement, Yo La Tengo etc.
