Strange New Places / Rat Pakk / Destroya
2026-03-22 18:30
Strange New Places are a Belfast-based queer-punk band of right-on radicals with low self-esteem; a
band where queerness and neurodivergence intersect, and intersect hard. Sometimes they intersect in
fun and interesting ways and other times they intersect in strange and annoying ways. Each member
looks like they’re in a different band, and sometimes they sound like it too. In June 2025, they released
their debut album, Second Puberty and now they’re taking it out to show it off a little!
Rat Pakk: Anarchist queer punk, bringing you banging tunes, off yer arse energy and aggressive,
in yer face, piss on yer Christmas dinner kinda attitude. Edgy, political and a live riot
Destroya: Leeds based female fronted grunge.

Computer Club v5.0
2026-03-27 23:59
Computer Club returns for its fifth iteration, refining its focus on live electronic process, deep-listening dancefloor moments, and improvised systems in motion. This edition brings together three distinct approaches to hardware-led performance and club-rooted experimentation, navigating the space between techno propulsion, textural abstraction, and raw signal manipulation.
At the core of Computer Club remains a commitment to real-time decision making. Patching, sequencing, and responding to the room as it unfolds. Expect fluid transitions between form and function, club energy and exploratory sound design, with each set feeding into a continuously evolving sonic ecosystem.
AM sin
Opening new pathways within the Computer Club framework, AM sin brings a live-focused approach grounded in tension, rhythm, and textural pressure. Drawing from techno, industrial, and experimental electronics, their sets balance driving structures with moments of disintegration, where grit, repetition, and subtle shifts take centre stage.
Nilehn (Resident)
The Computer Club resident returns with a continually evolving live configuration. Built around hardware and improvisation, Nilehn’s performances blur techno, abrasive electronics, and industrial atmospheres, shaped by real-time patching and an instinctive response to the dancefloor.
Musaji
Manchester-based duo Musaji bring acid-tinged momentum and genre-fluid sensibility to the night. Moving between live hardware performance and DJ-informed flow, their sound folds driving basslines, broken rhythms, and atmospheric passages into sets that remain physical, playful, and unpredictable.
Visuals once again form a critical component of the Computer Club experience. Our custom AV systems continue to develop with each event, translating raw signal feedback, generative processes, and live manipulation into responsive, immersive imagery. The screen becomes a parallel instrument, amplifying the sense of total system interaction.
Join us for Computer Club v5.0. Another late-night session of live electronics, evolving machines, and collective immersion in the mainframe.

GENRE(S): Techno

I'd Rather Be A Cowgirl
2026-03-28 19:30 - 23:00
The Ballad of Red Wednesday & Duck Williams, outlaws on the run searching for the myth of Halcyon. Asking that all important question: “Is being a cowgirl all it’s cracked up to be?” A tale of gender exploration, found family, and surviving in the harsh world of the American West. Join Red Wednesday, Duck Williams, and the musicians of Them There Cowboys round the campfire for a queer tale of adventure, found family, and exploring who you really want to be. Duck Williams is a runaway who doesn’t ever want to look back, Red Wednesday’s a mysterious and striking cowgirl who’s feared across the West, and holds her cards to her chest. Duck is questing for the mythical town of Halcyon… if they can find it, and if it even exists at all… Red takes Duck under her wing, but is Duck just grateful for her help and companionship, or is there a deeper affinity with the idea of being a cowgirl, and embracing what they had been forced to repress? Interwoven with the musical storytelling and Queer Cuntry Stylings of Them There Cowboys. A story to warm your heart but make your hair stand on end, as you’re swept along for the ride of your life in wide open plains.

The Exu + Support
2026-04-01 19:30 - 23:00
James Mainwaring (saxophones), Dave Kane (double bass) Emil Karlsen (drums)
Named after a Jean-Michel Basquiat painting and inspired by the artist’s multi-faceted stylistic approach – known for its raw, expressive, and dynamic qualities, blending street art with neo-expressionism to create bold, thought-provoking work. The Exu make layered, intense, creative & beautiful, thought provoking, genre fluid improvised music. The trio brazenly draw their musical influences from the worlds of free jazz, grunge, death metal, hip hop, bebop, & experimental music. Kane says ‘we are the sum of our record collections, the films we have seen, the books we have read. It all goes into the mix to make our music.’ Kane & Mainwaring share the compositional duties while young Norwegian drummer Emil Karlsen brings versatile, intricate textures and groove. Mainwaring (of Mercury Prize-nominated Roller Trio) blends fiery and sensitive saxophone approaches with playful edge, while double bassist Dave Kane ignites each performance with cathartic, heartfelt energy that lingers long after the final note.

Seven by Seven
2026-04-12 15:00 - 21:00
Seven by Seven is a friendly open decks vinyl playing session. You can bring along and play us seven of your 7” 45rpm vinyl singles – hence Seven by Seven – or just come and listen to others play. The 7” 45rpm format is the only limitation. We don’t dictate the type of music – you can play whatever you want to, and we relish that variety!

No DJ skills are needed, and our ethos is – no pressure, no competition, no egos.

Please get there early to put your name down. We draw names out for the running order and later arrivals may be too late to be drawn. We also sometimes reduce the number of records that some people can play if we have high numbers attending – but we do try to fit in as many seven record sets as possible.

Seven by Seven is a non-commercial operation. We run our sessions purely for the joy of playing and listening to records as a shared experience.

Please Please You & Heinous Whining presents EarthBall
2026-04-23 19:30 - 23:00
EARTHBALL are a wild ensemble from Canada, mainly based on Vancouver Island. EarthBall’s live shows epitomise their commitment to spontaneous composition, offering audiences a unique experience with each performance. The last two years have seen EarthBall release their debut LP ‘It’s Yours’ and a live album entitled ‘Actual Earth Music – Volume 1 & 2’ featuring Chris Corsano and Steve Beresford on Upset The Rhythm. This winter they returned with their best effort to date ‘Outside Over There’ – a gathering of sound at the forest’s edge; where feedback, saxophone screams, and ecstatic vocals dissolve the boundary between chaos and clarity. Perhaps John Olson of Wolf Eyes sums up the album best: “Outside Over There is an eight-track odyssey that unfolds like a dreamscape, where whispered incantations brush against the shadowy fringes of the cosmos, and wild, Cézanne-inspired rock anthems erupt like geysers of color in the midst of a western warm and wet rain storm… culminating in the sprawling eleven-minute masterpiece, ‘And The Music Shall Untune The Sky,’ aptly dubbed the Earth Crusher. A creation so utterly deconstructed and intertwined with the pulse of nature itself that if AI was called upon to conceive ‘Outside Over There’ anew, it would just spit back, “F.U. in Tree Font”. An enchanting invitation for even the flat-earthers to join the circle, if only just a little.”
