Gig Guide: Sun 5th Oct

 

Sun 5th Oct 20:00 SPARTACUS LIVE - Jumpship / Nick Williams / The Skinnies

Jumpship
Light and shade. Beauty and ruin. Jump Ship inject style into Trip Hop. Synthetic complexity is aligned with the acoustic nuances of cello and guitar to support an ecliptic, dark and disarming feminine vocal charm. Conflicting the classic and the contemporary, the Bristol based sextet’s perfectly balanced yet authoritative glimmer of the future resonates the passive, aggressive and progressive. Live, Jump Ship possess a dynamic, compelling and competent presence. The group have recently recorded their debut album for Naim Audio's new Naim Edge label with producer Head (PJ Harvey/Massive Attack), due for nationwide release on September 22nd...watch this space!

Nick Williams
In the corner of a small Bath café sits singer songwriter Nick Williams. Dressed in a mismatching grey suit and waistcoat, he has a look that would be more suited to 1920’s Paris, than a modern day smoking-banned England. Having worked with Mark Wallis, the producer of the Smiths, U2 and Travis on his demo material, Nick is now preparing to launch his debut EP “Beach by the harbour”. “The album owes as much to the people in the songs as it does to me,” he says with a wry smile, “them and wine”. “Beach by the harbour” is dripping with emotion and has drawn comparisons to Jeff Buckley and Joni Mitchell.

The Skinnies
Formed in late 07 The Skinnies are a four piece band based in Bath. With their folk esq guitar rythmns, punchy riffs and catchy melodies The Skinnies are a band to look out for in the future.
