Industry Night ft. Yossari Baby and special guests
2026-06-04 19:30 - 22:00
Shooting Tzars x Alphaville UK Presents… ‘INDUSTRY NIGHT’ featuring Yossari Baby, KiosK, Unlucky & Smuj. An evening filled with the most incredible music that only the music industry could only dream of scouting.

Formed by request for the Manchester mafia during the silent pandemic late hours of the White Hotel. Notorious for their provocative live shows. Melding big electronic beats and dirty guitars with esoteric visuals and a melodic prowess from the resident Mannequin de Marseille. Yossari Baby join us at Wharf Chambers to celebrate second album ‘New Brutality’ released via Alphaville Records. (Apocalyptic Disco)

Leeds based electronic duo Kiosk make dance-punk influenced by the city’s diverse DIY scene. Their sound shifts between postpunk inflected dance beats, dreamy soundscapes and pounding techno noise, combining drum machines and analogue synthesis with raw lyrics and heavily processed bass.

Brainchild Patrick James Fitzroy will showcase his latest project Unlucky, up from the big smoke (London). Debut single ‘No God’ released earlier this year has amassed thousands of streams in its infancy. Expect dark electronics fused with abrasive guitars and religious induced paranoia.

New to the Shooting Tzars roster, Leeds/Newcastle based garage rockers Smuj bring chaos and confusion to Wharf Chambers. Their latest EP ‘A Lot Of Time’ features fast paced angular riffage that intend for a good time and a good time only. FFO Roxy Girls, Duds
