The band formed through the friendship of singer/songwriter Isadora and lead guitarist Luca, united by their love for ’80s bands like Cocteau Twins and The Cure, and ’90s icons like MBV and The Cranberries. They later added Huw on drums and Luci on bass, inspired by the ethereal sounds of dream pop, post rock and shoegaze. The band fuse timeless and contemporary elements, creating a hypnotic soundscape enriched with deeply emotional lyrics. This influence extends beyond their music, shaping their artistic vision and resulting in an immersive experience. Ruby Doomsday - Local London duo, performing rocknroll inspired by classic horror movies and the horrors of reality. For fans of - zombie Elvis. 20 Minutes Ago - 20 Minutes Ago is a female-fronted, London-based indie rock band that stands out with its captivating melodies and engaging vocals. Their massive sound, tight musicianship, and well-crafted arrangements make for an impressive performance—a must-listen for those who appreciate powerful, melodic rock music. Kite Show -  Kite Show’s music is all about contrast and fluctuation, whether that’s through mashing disparate genres together, or through juxtaposing soft, light vocals against heavy, rich instrumentals. Sharp shifts in tempo and tone propel songs away from the original direction of travel, but they are generally tethered in place by their familiar themes of connection to others and our surroundings, including time passing, familial birth and loss, and the energy that friendships conjure, within ourselves and externally, in our environments.
