SURPRISE QUERDOS!!!

A VOID - Sonic Grunge

The Unchained (FR)

“The group offers coherence to the twelve tracks that structure this well-written CD, sometimes reminiscent of a female Sonic Youth.”
“Marie Niemiec on drums perfectly marries Aaron Hartmann on bass and answer each other to unfold a worked rhythm section”
“Young, sincere and contagious energy on stage, A VOID clearly has potential.”

FRANX (Presenter at Rainbow-topia) - Franx Franklin is your local intergalactic leatherdaddy from the 69th dimension! It is a known fact that back in 1979 Franx was innocently cottaging in viccy centre toilets (Notts) when an inter-dimensional wormhole opened up right before his eyes! Before he knew it, he was propelled through time and space experiencing every licentious pleasure the universe had to offer.

We bet that got you all intrigued?!?

Witch of the East - Fresh off the back of a UK tour which included Kentish Town O2 Forum & O2 Academy Leeds. The band are

WOTE are a dark pop/grunge/avant garde trio from Notts/Leeds comprised of Aeris Houlihan (Vocals & Guitar/Bass/Programming), Manni McManus (Drums), Franx Franklin (Vocals).

Recent reviews from WOTE's Savage Beauty Album

"Filling the gap between Sonic Youth's outlandish experimentalism and the post-grunge shoegaze of My Vitriol, Witch Of The East are an exceptional force of nature with an ever growing catalogue of insatiable tunes” – Dom Gourlay (Under The Radar)

“Aeris Houlihan, leader of dark-rock exponents Witch Of The East, follows up her 2019 debut with the fascinating Savage Beauty. Anthemic modern rock, dark folk, forlorn acoustic meditations, glam arrogance and pulse-pounding manic urgency are woven into a lattice of emotions that continues to captivate adventurous listeners."– Jason Pettigrew (Ex Alt Press Chief Editor)

“A storming, potent, extremely direct return.” – Clash

“Be it repetitive beats or loops, everything about this makes it a statement worth catching” God Is In The TV 8/10

Vita Bohem

This Leeds sleaze Queen is unashamedly self-worshipping (with a side of silly). Since her debut way back in 2018 she has pestered the Yorkshire scene as a performer, model, booker, judge and baker ( ).
She’s here, she’s q***r, she’s probably a bit drunk… it’s Vita Bohem!

Hello

On the 13th October Rainbow-topia (Belgrave Leeds) as part of the visual installation. We’re asking LGBTQ+ people or ally’s for videos post lockdown. The video can be absolutely anything. With friends, alone, performing, art.

The idea is to show how much happier we are having access to our communities again.

Would you like to submit a video to us? It can be uploaded on FB or you could email us it.

Much love,
