About the event
Gotobeat is excited to bring The Trades, Jeanine and Max Montanaro to Hawkins Forge on Friday, August 22nd. RSVP now!
The Trades are an Indie Rock and Alternative band based in London, who combine punchy guitar riffs, a dynamic rhythm section and lyrics that explore the liminal space of growing up on the edge of London. Drawing inspiration from artists including Sam Fender, Wunderhorse, Fontaines D.C. and Oasis, The Trades’ music reflects the spirit of a generation entering adulthood with the uncertainty and contradictions belonging to a world in constant flux. The band’s lineup features our front man Harry, Christian on drums, Damon on bass and Jack on guitar. The Trades' creative process begins with lyrics and basic harmony from Harry, which is developed into a demo that informs the final band arrangement, combining the input of the musicians with modern DAW programming to create a sound that is both polished and raw. The Trades have begun to secure regular performances at independent live music venues across London, such as: Amersham Arms, Hoxton Underbelly and The Gunners. The stages have provided the perfect platform for them to showcase their distinctive sound, refine their live performance and foster a loyal following in the city's thriving underground music scene. The Trades aim to build a dedicated following by maintaining a consistent social media presence and regularly performing live. They hope to have the chance to occupy ever-increasing stage sizes, supporting more established acts and securing festival appearances across the UK. The band is dedicated to sharing their story with an ever-expanding audience and fostering a nationwide listenership.
jeanine is a North East London-based indie folk-rock trio whose music pairs modernist storytelling with a distinctive blend of folk, rock and subtle jazz-blues influences. Drawing inspiration from James Taylor, Carole King, Bob Dylan, and Elliott Smith, jeanine brings a timeless quality to their songwriting; combining sensibilities from indie subgenres with slick musicianship and introspective, tongue-in-cheek lyricism.
Max Montanaro is a singer, songwriter and guitarist performing a fresh blend of rock and jazz across London and beyond. Drawing on influences from Deftones to Portishead to Joni Mitchell, he bridges the gap between delicate songwriting and explosive heaviness through dynamic arrangements.
