Gotobeat is proud to once again team up with Exchange Bristol for another night at their Basement stage with Big Trousers heading to the city on Sunday 5th October.
Big Trousers
Plus Special Guests Moxie Dolls and badmouth.
Postmodern power-duo BIG TROUSERS bring a unique brand of volume, energy and eccentricity to UK and international stages, drawing from post-punk and progressive rock to construct their spoken-word experimental sound. Sharing stages like the Windmill Brixton with bands such as Man/Woman/Chainsaw and Heavy Lungs since their formation in 2023, the two-piece continue to push their sound with unapologetic oddity, navigating meme culture, social satire and existential dread.
This year, they return with their sophomore EP. “WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE INTERNET” is a surreal window into online relationships and features the band’s signature absurdist lyrics and acrobatic guitar playing. From a meditation on failed stardom, to a protagonist in love with Microsoft PowerPoint, to a doomscrolling monologue set to a midwest emo instrumental, these 5 tracks will have you wondering just how funny the internet actually is. They take to UK and EU stages this October for ANYTHING IS A TOUR IF YOU TRY HARD ENOUGH, playing the EP in its entirety as well as older fan favourites.
Please note the basement is not wheelchair accessible and is accessed by a narrow enclosed staircase. For more accessibility info, please email access@exchangebristol.com
