SERABU
In the words of the 4 million records selling boy band wonder Damage (performing at an undisclosed location in Bristol this month) it is often “just another Friday night, in the club on ladies night” with “nothing really lookin’ up” with feeling that one needs to “bounce another bar”! They feel these words and they are instructions to act! Serabu shall keep bouncing to beats that lift thy feet!! They love beats and that’s why Serabu attempts DJ on a semi-regular basis! Serabu wants to exceed expectations! What do you expect? They like Chicago footwork, ghetto house, ballroom beats and baile funk! Serabu hopes these high-five at least one of the expectations you just had!

✨✨CLOAKS CLOSING PARTY✨✨

We know a lot of you have heard the rumblings for a moment but we haven’t been able to announce anything until now. As of the 14/12/24 CLOAK will be closing its doors.

It’s been a WILD ride, I’m ways I could never have imagined, and there’s too much to say in a post. So for now I’ll just say…
Everything the venue has achieved over the past year and a half has been down to the incredible community that you’ve all shown. From cooking meals, performing, waving your limbs silly and even scrapping the big wall (a right of passage at CLOAK). None of it would have been possible without all your care.

We want to make this clear, this is not a sad moment. In such pressing times in the music scene and further, it is such a mark in history what you’ve all managed to curate. It has been a pleasure watching you all thrive and connect and honestly - it’s the reason we’ve continued so long. CLOAK is such a powerful symbol of resilience and care in the face of diversity.

Thank you so much and we can’t wait to see what you all do next.

If you’ve been out in Bristol, you’ve definitely laughed, danced and had your night made by Dionne. She’s not only a pillar of the nightlight scene but also just one of the sweetest humans around! Unfortunately she’s suffered a devastating home fire and is having to rebuild her and her kids lives.
So we’re throwing a fundraiser to bring everyone together for good food, music and company💛
We know times are tough right now, so we wanna give you a knees up full of warmth and silliness as a thank you.

This will be an evening of joy and community✨

OCTOBER 18th at CLOAK

Q***r punk music from .gorz.gorz and !
Early bird tickets available on Headfirst now ⭐️

Since their formation in Sheffield in 2016, FEMUR have unleashed a ferocious deluge of music, captivating audiences and embodying “the bewildering, hook-filled, psych grunge onslaught we’ve come to expect” (Exposed Magazine, 2023).

Q***R PUNK band, based in Briztol but will conquer the wurld, GorZ are multidisciplinary artists amplifying their voices about societal ills. Incorporating avant garde theatrics and paper mache props into their live sets, the collective is an audio visual project as much as it is a band. Shedding their skin to talk on topics like skin tags, consumerism and trans rights. Having played with The Oozes, Tokky Horror, Skating Polly and Snooper they display a graphic insight into the dirty and enraged mind of GorZ.

French Toast is a London based band playing an eclectic range of sound going from soul to garage, and from rock to grunge. They fuse eccentric melodies and crazy guitar riffs, all this in a high fever punk energy. Their style is innovative as they add electronic synthesizer sounds to their sets, giving them an out of this world experience. Their songs talk about love and screams, about their values and their vision of the world.

See you there 💋

———————————

SCARLETT FAGAN

Scarlett Fagan is a London born/Bristol based soul singer and songwriter. In May 2022 she released her first solo album called ‘Conscious’ which is a perfect blend of Soul, Jazz and RnB and was produced by the amazingly talented Matthew Dyer.
The album is very personal and the lyrics are about Scarlett’s life experiences, however a few of the songs are written solely with the audience/listeners in mind and have been designed deliberately to uplift and inspire. Drawing inspiration from soul/jazz legends such as Amy Winehouse and Etta James, Scarlett’s live performance will be raw and honest but with a sultry, seductive edge.

———————————

RUBY GEDDES

Ruby Geddes started recording and performing in Edinburgh. Whilst immersed in the city’s thriving traditional folk scene, and captivated by its rich geological history, they began to write music inspired by the genre’s ability to connect people across time and call to a deep sense of home. They sought to extend this to the more-than-human world. Now beginning to settle into the eclectic alt-folk scene of Bristol, Geddes continues to craft contemporary folk that speaks to their kinship with the natural world – solace found in cycles of minerals, light, growth and decay, in eternal change and deep time; their songs grieve and resolve with the seasons. An inquisitive musical topography forms the ground for enthralling lyrics as soft, easeful vocals invite you to travel with them across a range of low tunings, changing time signatures, and diverse song structures.
