Mystery Jets
Friday 26th June at live performance and Q&A, 7:00pm
Celebrating the physical release of their new album, (Blaine and Jack of) Mystery Jets visit the shop to livestream a session with a Q&A. This is a limited-numbers event (/300).
The sixth full length from the amazing indie-rockers is titled A Billion Heartbeats and sees the band leaning towards politically driven themes, whilst still retaining their infectious and melodic anthems.
All great albums start from a unique perspective. But try a window on the Strand, in an abandoned office block, overlooking the kind of political upheaval London hasn't seen in a generation. Blaine Harrison was living as a property guardian right around the corner from Trafalgar Square when he found himself witness to an entire year of protests. Every weekend from January 2017 on, people were marching for a different cause: "In the space of six months it was Black Lives Matter, the huge ‘Our NHS' march, Unite for Europe," he recalls. "Then the solidarity sleep-out organised by Help Refugees, where we slept in Whitehall for the night... The protestors would wake me up in the morning. I'd just walk down and join in."

The Academic
Thursday 9th July at Streamed Session, 9:00pm
On the eve of the release of their new EP, the Irish indie heroes The Academic join us for a world exclusive live performance of their new EP titled Acting My Age. Back and playing live together for the first time since lockdown with a special Q&A. This is a strictly limited-numbers event (/300).
When The Rolling Stones handpick you to open up for them at Ireland’s biggest stadium, you know you’re onto a winner. Ireland’s most exciting new export are The Academic; 2020’s Mick Jagger-approved indie-pop princes-in-waiting. A party-starting four-piece, their super-uplifting, hugely melodic guitar-driven sound is the product of a tight-knit gang who’ve been playing together since school, when they first bonded over the sounds of The Strokes and Vampire Weekend.
This is a taut six-song EP, led by the brisk new wave styled single Anything Could Happen, which draws from the stop-start rhythms of Talking Heads and Elvis Costello. With lyrics about those who are “saving all your feelings for Saturday night” and going on benders of the emotional kind, it’s a song about personal growth, friendship and accepting that nobody is perfect.
The tracks were produced by Nick Hodgson, formerly of Kaiser Chiefs, who has since collaborated with Dua Lipa, Mark Ronson, and Duran Duran.
