I Don't Know How But They Found Me Sunday 25th October at Zoom Session + Q&A, 7:00pm To celebrate the release of their highly anticipated new album titled RAZZMATAZZ, iDKHOW links up for a Zoom session and then Dallon Weekes joins us for a special Q&A. This is a limited numbers event /300. I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME, or iDKHOW, is the new project led by frontman, multi-instrumentalist, and mastermind Dallon Weekes. Razzmatazz is the next chapter in iDKHOW’s unfurling curated storyline, in the multi-faceted world Dallon has constructed, iDKHOW was initially believed to have been a band from 30 plus years ago that never got their big break. But in 2017, an anonymous source began to release recovered video footage of iDKHOW. The videos that span the years 1964 to 1983 have been released out of sequence and display a mysterious genesis that has yet to be understood. 7:00pm start (BST) Access codes will be sent 20 minutes before the event.

Keaton Henson Monday 26th October at Streamed Session, 7:00pm PLEASE NOTE: you'll need a Banquet account to access this stream, so please be sure you're registered and signed in before you place your order. This event is only available for UK customers. ----- Celebrating the release of his new album titled Monument, the acclaimed Singer-songwriter Keaton Henson links up for a steamed session. This is a limited numbers event /300. “I suppose it is, at its heart, much like my first record; a collection of things I wanted to say, just so they’re out of my system, and not necessarily for anyone else to hear. I made it at home, mostly alone, to the sound of birds and rainstorms, at strange hours of day and night. But, once the bones were recorded, I was somewhat unexpectedly joined by an amazing group of people, who came to musically lift me on their shoulders, and take these unsaid feelings to another plain in terms of sound.” These people came in the form of Radiohead’s Philip Selway providing drums and percussion, guitars provided by Leo Abrahams, saxophones from composer Charlotte Harding and at one point a full string section. It culminates in a record that is at once intensely intimate and vulnerable, but carries with it a confidence and elevation in its musical language; the simple up-close picking of Henson’s guitar lifted on a soft bed of electronics and lo-fi tape sound, the moments of joyful acceptance punctuated by soaring drums and woodwinds, that feels like jumping in a cold pool on a warm day. 7:00pm start (BST) Access codes will be sent 20 minutes before the event. (Please check your junk / spam folders if they aren't appearing in your inbox). Please sign in from 6:45pm (and by 6:55pm at the latest).

Johnny Lloyd Friday 30th October at Zoom Session + Q&A, 7:00pm To celebrate the release of his second full length solo album titled Cheap Medication, the excellent Johnny Lloyd links up for a Zoom session with a Q&A. This is a limited numbers event /300. Euphoric and universal, uplifting and even at times spiritual, ‘Cheap Medication’ is a record that finds an artist comfortable in his own skin and daring to take chances; the therapy of a life in songwriting yielding its most confident results yet. “I don’t think I’ve been happier with a collection of songs for a long time. I feel really good about this and think there really is something on there for everyone.” 7:00pm start (BST) Access codes will be sent 20 minutes before the event. (Please check your junk / spam folders if they aren't appearing in your inbox). Please sign in from 6:45pm (and by 6:55pm at the latest).

Seamus Fogarty Friday 6th November at Zoom Session, 7:00pm PLEASE NOTE: you'll need a Banquet account to access this stream, so please be sure you're registered and signed in before you place your order. This event is now open to worldwide customers. ----- Celebrating the release of his third full length album titled A Bag Of Eyes, Seamus Fogarty visits Kingston for a Zoom session, live from the shop. This is a limited numbers event /300. Seamus Fogarty will release his new album A Bag Of Eyes on November 6th. This is Fogarty’s third album — a wholly different sonic prospect to 2017’s much-lauded The Curious Hand. Weary of the guitar, and seeking something darker than its predecessor, he chose to lean more heavily on synths and drum machines, and additionally, to self-produce. “It was about creating and exploring new sound worlds,” Fogarty says. “Experimenting with new ways of incorporating electronics into the songwriting process, and in some cases dispensing with conventional songwriting processes altogether.” On A Bag OF Eyes, there is industrial judder, slacker-fuzz guitar, a cacophony of saxophones. On one track, ring-modulated drums kick in with oscillating fury. Another moves from 90s’ shit-hole grunge venue to sleazy jazz joint in four minutes. Whilst on a third, a synth is deployed with the express purpose of sawing the listeners’ ears in half, Fogarty attests. However, beneath them lie fragments of melody, image, drone; a flicker of banjo, an electronic pulse. “I like to purposely make music that clashes with the more traditional stuff that I do,” he says. TIME TBC but we'll aim for 7:00pm (BST) - please check back. Access codes will be sent 20 minutes before the event. (Please check your junk / spam folders if they aren't appearing in your inbox). Please sign in from 6:45pm (and by 6:55pm at the latest). You'll be checked off as you sign in, so please ensure your screen name matches the name on your order. CD | LP

Rhys Lewis Tuesday 10th November at St John's Church RESCHEDULED TO TUESDAY 10TH NOVEMBER This show has been rescheduled due to restrictions around the coronavirus outbreak. Tickets remain valid for the new date. We're taking advice from Public Health England about which events will and won't happen around the coronavirus spread. In a fluid situation, things will change, and we'll be constantly monitoring the situation. If an event is postponed, it will be rearranged rather than cancelled, and we'll let you know as soon as decisions are made. ------- In support of his new album 'Things I Chose To Remember', Rhys Lewis visits Kingston In what's sure to be a special event, he comes to St John's Church in Kingston with the album just hours old. 2020 is going to be a great year for Rhys but we're sure this gig will be one we all choose to remember. That desire to be present is at the root of Things I Chose To Remember’s emotional heft. Lewis recorded the album on analogue tape, a rare and expensive process that’s barely been used since the early ‘80s. This process comes with both limitations and joys, for instance, it’s common to have over 100 individual tracks in a contemporary pop song. Yet with his 24-track tape machine Lewis limited himself to just two-dozen. “Everything had to earn its place,” he says. “We worked the songs and the productions much harder, and I think we questioned things much more because of it. Times TBC but we expect doors at 7:00pm with Rhys on stage at 8:00pm. Please check back. CD/ticket is £14 post-paid, and other formats and combos will be available. Albums and tickets will be posted separately. This show is 14+, under 14s must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult. St John the Evangelist, Grove Lane, Kingston upon Thames, KT1 2SU PLEASE NOTE: If you choose Collect In-store as your delivery option your full order will need to be collected from our shop rather than from the venue.

Adam Hender Thursday 12th November at Zoom Session, 7:00pm Celebrating the release of his debut album titled Sick, the singer-songwriter Adam Hender links up for a zoom session. This is a limited-numbers event (/300). Adam Hender’s debut album, packed with anthemic and heartfelt pop gems, follows a stellar year that firmly sets him up as 2020’s pop breakthrough. From emotional ballads ‘Sick’ and ‘I Don’t Mind’, touching on mental health and toxic relationships, to the driving and upbeat ‘Gone’ and ‘Nothing In Between’, ‘Sick’ is a record packed with anthemic pop moments, married by the North Walian singer-songwriter to a sense of real heart and emotional weight. 7:00pm start (BST) Access codes will be sent 20 minutes before the event. (Please check your junk / spam folders if they aren't appearing in your inbox). Please sign in from 6:45pm (and by 6:55pm at the latest).

PLEASE NOTE: date is subject to change pending government / NIHP guidance around the coronavirus outbreak. If this event is postponed, we will let you know - please do not contact us until a rescheduled date is announced. Once announced, if you cannot make the rescheduled date refunds will be available. - Celebrating the release of their new album titled Night Network, the classic and inimitable trio The Cribs return to Kingston for a socially distanced show at Pryzm. Night Network is as fresh, cathartic and vital as anything they’ve ever put out. There’s no weariness, no bitterness, just a clear desire to get back to doing what they do best – that unique blend of bittersweet melody, brutal lyrical honesty and riffs for days. In a typically downplayed way, the band have honed in on what’s so special about The Cribs: really bloody good songs. Fans might well think this is their best album in a decade. So, once again all is right in Cribs world – or as much as all is right in any world in 2020 at least. The Cribs are romantics and they’re realists, and the balance, for a hot minute, nearly tipped in the favour of the latter. But now they return empowered, beholden to no one, on the greatest form and still screaming in suburbia. --- Times TBC but we expect doors at 5:00pm. Last entry is at 5:30pm, The Cribs due on stage at 6:00pm. All viewing areas are in tables for six.

Glass Animals Friday 4th December at Pryzm, 7:00pm PLEASE NOTE: date is subject to change pending government / Public Health England guidance around the coronavirus outbreak. If this event is postponed, we will let you know - please do not contact us until a rescheduled date is announced. Once announced, if you cannot make the rescheduled date refunds will be available. --- Following the release of their third full length album titled Dreamland, the ever-excellent electro-indie-poppers Glass Animals return to Kingston to play at Pryzm. “The idea for this album came at a time of confusion and uncertainty. My best friend was in the hospital. I didn’t know if he’d make it. The future was damn scary and completely unknown. During those weeks in the hospital, it was so difficult to look forwards that I found myself looking backwards. Digging around in my mind, pulling up old memories, finding comfort in them even if they were uncomfortable in themselves.” Speaking to friends and family, I’ve realised that a lot of people are experiencing a similar sort of confusion now. Everything that we thought we could see clearly in front of us has been thrown into the air, and all the while, we can’t be out finding our footing. We can’t be out creating new memories, so…we’re diving back head-first into the old ones. I hear that in conversations. I see it in what people are watching on TV. In what we’re listening to. In what we’re eating. In dreams. Times TBC but we expect doors at 7:00pm with Glass Animals on stage at 8:00pm CD/ticket is £16 post-paid, and other formats and combos will be available.

It's their first studio album in eleven years and it's going to be quite the opportunity to hear a career spanning set in an intimate venue.

Produced by Doves with Dan Austin and recorded at the band’s own Frank Bough Sound III studios in North West England, the high heat of its Northern Soul beat is fanned by wiry guitar breaks and cuts of ethereal noise contorting beneath layers of stacked vocals. A statuesque musical statement, Prisoners guides Doves’ second chapter to a peak now within touching distance, the lyrics contrasting to express unease with modern ills.

Ricky Warwick Saturday 20th February at Zoom Session, 7:00pm The iconic frontman Ricky Warwick (Thin Lizzy, Black Star Riders, The Almighty) links up for a zoom session to celebrate the release of his new album When Life Was Hard And Fast. This is a limited numbers event /300. “The true spirt of rock n’ roll is a relentless pursuit that consumes me on a daily basis. Chasing after it, making this record was a race well run” - Ricky Warwick. “I wanted to create an album that had the simplistic melodies of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers charged with the electric hedonistic fury of Johnny Thunders And The Heartbreakers. Recording the album as live as possible with a full band was requisite to achieving the desired effect”. Xavier Muriel (Ex-Buckcherry) on drums and Robert Crane (Black Star Riders) on bass completed the core band and turned in stellar performances, giving the songs a real lease of life. 7:00pm start (BST) Access codes will be sent 20 minutes before the event.

Once announced, if you cannot make the rescheduled date refunds will be available. - Celebrate the release of their new album titled Strange Days, the Derbyshire indie-rock 'n' rollers The Struts return to Kingston to play at Pryzm. The Strange Days album came to life over the course of a charmed and frenzied burst of creativity this spring. After getting tested for COVID-19, the band all moved into the Los Angeles home of Jon Levine, a producer who worked extensively on their acclaimed second album YOUNG & DANGEROUS. Within just ten days of couch-crashing at Levine’s house, The Struts had laid down nine original tracks alongside their masterful cover of the KISS B-side: a lean, mean body of work that amounts to their most glorious output to date. “It was so much fun to make a record this way instead of getting everything done in between touring, working with multiple producers in multiple countries,” says Spiller. “We were all just burning to capture that excitement as much as we possibly could, and at times it felt like the songs were literally just falling from the sky. It was undoubtedly a magical ten days for us—and I hope when people hear the album, it gives them a taste of that magic too.” Times TBC but we expect doors at 7:00pm with The Struts on stage at 8:00pm CD/ticket is £15 post-paid, and other formats and combos will be available.

Once announced, if you cannot make the rescheduled date refunds will be available. - To celebrate the release of their highly anticipated new full length album titled Energy, the acclaimed duo Disclosure return to New Slang. “The thing that decided which songs made it and which songs didn’t was that one word: energy. Every track was written really quickly. That’s why we had to write so many songs because those ones don’t come up every day. Or every week. Or every month.” Through an epic process of creation and distillation the path to producing their shortest, most direct album - 11 songs, 39 minutes - ran through around 200 tracks: everything from drum loops to fully realised songs. After the show, it's New Slang as usual where you can expect to hear the likes of Catfish & The Bottlemen, The Charlatans, Courteeners, The Shins and many more until 2AM.

Dizzee Rascal Friday 5th March at Pryzm, 7:00pm PLEASE NOTE: date is subject to change pending government / NIHP guidance around the coronavirus outbreak. If this event is postponed, we will let you know - please do not contact us until a rescheduled date is announced. Once announced, if you cannot make the rescheduled date refunds will be available. - To celebrate the release of his seventh full length album titled E3 AF, the all-round, boundary-breaking artist Dizzee Rascal return to Kingston to play at Pryzm. This new release marks the genesis of a new era for Dizzee and is the first album wholly written, recorded and produced in the UK in over a decade. ‘E3 AF’ is a 10-track layered, purposeful statement of intent, rooted in Dizzee’s inedible ties to both east London and Black British music’s legacy. He sound is sharper, stronger and more self assured than ever, and it is obvious that he has poured the creative energy of the past few years into ‘E3 AF’ as a body of work. First single, L.L.L.L (Love Life Live Large), features Tottenham born MC Chip and kicks open the door with the force of a steel toe capped boot. Chip, adds another thwack of bravado to the rumbling, Dizzee- produced beat. ‘E3 AF’ confirms Dizzee’s status as an artist still very much in his prime, sonically it draws on the infectious pace of grime and resolutely forward-thinking UK rap. From one song to the next, you are taken on a journey through Black British musical excellence. Ice-cold UK drill drips on Smoke Boys-featuring ‘Act Like You Know’ (produced by MK the Plug) and Eastside pulses with pure grime courtesy of Chubby Dreadz and Platinum 45. Self-produced opener ‘God Knows’ (featuring P Money) and high-octane ‘You Don’t Know’ pull from dubstep, grime and drum ‘n’ bass while threatening to wreak havoc with your speakers. By the time Alicai Harley’s warm up vocals float over sunny syths on the deeply personal ‘Energies + Powers’ (produced by Steel Banglez), the album practically radiates heat. Dizzee Rascal is a unique artist that has inspired many for multiple generations. From his 2003 debut album release, the Mercury Prize winning ‘Boy In The Corner’ to date, Dizzee has continued to push expectations and boundaries. He is British musical royalty. Every album that followed stacked up another marker of success. Between 2004 and 2017 all album releases blasted firmly into the Top 10 Official album chart, won awards, critical acclaim and amassed Dizzee a huge following of devoted fans. ‘E3 AF’ is set to confirm Dizzee Rascal’s status as the master at the top of his game. Times TBC but we expect doors at 7:00pm with Dizzee Rascal on stage at 8:00pm CD/ticket is £16 post-paid, and other formats and combos will be available. Pryzm is all ages for this show - under 14s must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult (18+). Over 18s should bring PHOTO ID (driving license / passport).
