IDER
Wednesday 24th July at Banquet Records, 6:00pm
To celebrate the release of their new album titled Emotional Education, IDER visit the shop to play a set of their dark, electronic-pop filled with spectacular harmonies.
Themes of anxiety, identity, mental health, and the human condition run throughout. The album's 11 songs – which include singles 'Mirror', 'You've Got Your Whole Life Ahead of You Baby' and 'Brown Sugar' – are consistently intricate and intimate, but draw from a multitude of influences, reflecting the multi-instrumentalists' diverse tastes.
To understand the symbiosis that exists between IDER, you need only learn how the London duo's debut album got its name. "It came from a song that I had written," says Megan Markwick, referring to the raw electro-pop anthem 'Saddest Generation', a beautiful examination of millennial malaise. "But then Lily had put in that lyric – 'Where's the emotional education we're all looking for?' And it was a penny drop moment. It's such a perfect example of the way we work, this partnership that is all entangled." "Emotional Education is what we give each other," adds Lily Somerville, "and what we're going to give you with this album."

DMA's
Saturday 20th July at All Saints Church
Following the release of their MTV Unplugged live album, the awesome Australian indie-punks DMA'S visit Kingston to play a stripped back set at All Saints Church.
Renowned for their ragged, anthemic energy often inspired by the Britpop and Manchester scenes, ‘MTV Unplugged Live’ finds DMA’S stripping their songbook back to basics. Focusing on acoustic guitar, piano, violin and cello, these new arrangements unveil fresh new perspectives on the songs. Some now carry a folk vibe, while others hone in on the poignancy of the band’s lyrics.
Times TBC but we expect doors to be at 7:00pm with DMA's on at 8:00pm.
CD/ticket is £15 post-paid, and other formats and combos will be available.
This show is 14+, under 14s must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult.
All Saints Church, 14-16 Market Place, Kingston, KT1 1JP (next to / opposite John Lewis)

Shura
Thursday 15th August at Banquet Records, 6:00pm
The night before her new album is released, the electro-tinged indie popper Shura returns to Kingston to play an intimate set in the shop. She was last in Kingston in 2016 at New Slang with her debut album, We're super excited to have her back and to hear some new songs from her second album titled forevher.
‘forevher,’ then, is a record born from a budding romance, covering everything from the initial pull of desire, to the giddy joy of finally being together, to recognising the moment when the connection develops from lust into something scarily meaningful. Here is a classic London-to-NYC love story, but one told through the filter of dating apps and Skype chats. And whilst how to live – and love – as a queer woman has always been integral to Shura, it’s remarkable to hear these stories twisted through such a gorgeous amalgam of influences: Joni Mitchell and Minnie Riperton, Bon Iver and Frank Ocean, Prince and Ariel Pink. Through these inspirations, Shura’s own modern, outlier perspective found a newer, more daring approach to sound and song.
In-store Grade B.
Priority will be given to anyone who orders a copy of forevher from us.
Albums will be posted, tickets are for collection from the shop on the day of the in-store, please bring your order number with you. The Album is released 16th August.

Bleached
Friday 23rd August at Banquet Records, 6:00pm
Celebrating the release of their new album, Bleached play in the shop.
Don't You Think You've Had Enough? is the third full length album from the awesome garage-indie-punk-duo and we're delighted to see them return to Banquet.
The resulting LP is explosive, grappling with the past; its twelve tracks mark some of the sisters’ most visceral, rawest songwriting to date -- and some of their best. The work glimmers with inspiration found in touring with the likes of The Damned and Paramore. That arena-ready pop, incisively catchy, was a palpable influence helping to push Bleached’s sound in a new direction.
"Writing these songs while sober became somewhat of a spiritual experience,” Jennifer says. “Like I was connecting with a power greater than myself. I had to let go, trust the process, and allow an energy beyond my control to be present."

Lighthouse Family
Friday 19th July at Pryzm, 8:00pm
This show will now be taking place in July. Existing tickets remain valid.
Celebrating the release of their new album, Lighthouse Family play at Pryzm.
The first new studio album from Lighthouse Family in 18 years! Blue Sky In Your Head will be the band's fourth full length and sees them back with former label Polydor, their first manager and the same team that was around them in their radio-dominating times.
Indeed, the new album has something that has always been present with Lighthouse Family: a sense of optimism and renewal. “We’re trying to create something anthemic and uplifting but real,” says Paul. “That idea of: ‘I know the sun’s gonna shine again’, it’s quintessential Lighthouse Family.”
Messages of hope and uplift. Sentiments of community and communion. Songs of love and connection. Tunes to sing, loudly, from the heart. It can only be Lighthouse Family, back to dream up the magic all over again.
TIMES TBC but we expect doors to be at 7:00pm with Lighthouse Family on at 8:00pm. With a strict curfew of 9:00pm.
CD/ticket is £20 post-paid, and other formats and combos will be available.
Pryzm is 18+ for this show. Please bring VALID PHOTO ID (passport, driving licence, PASS card) for admission.
