Gig Guide: Sun 8th Nov

 

Sun 8th Nov 20:00 SPARTACUS LIVE :: 7 DAYS OF SLEEP :: SARAH GOUGH :: HEART SHAPED THINGS :: JOE SUMMERS

Within a palette of stunning torch songs through to slow burning alt-folk gems, 7 Days of Sleep display equal amounts of style and substance. This band has crafted a sound that is at once old fashioned and utterly futuristic, tackling familiar subjects of love and loss with forward thinking imagery that is both fresh and original. Bryony’s keyboard skills are a perfect foil to lead singer Miele’s vocals. Her voice blends intimate restraint with a languid assuredness that is perfectly held within a sensitively crafted sound. Innovative without testing the listener’s patience, lovelorn without the angst, this is music that could make even the hardest soul want to sit by a frosted window and remember the one that got away.

Modern, alternative and laced with jazziness - Sarah Gough stands with one foot firmly rooted into British popular music. Her writing has been compared to Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen and both generations of Buckley. Words are thoughtful, crafted and her songs are constantly varied in style. She picks out influences as diverse as Lennon and McCartney, Thom Yorke, Opeth and Nina Simone. With a memorable and unique, rich vocal that swings through Jazz, Rock, folk and Pop, she is a charismatic and charming performer, accompanied by the wondrous talent of her band - Juxtaposed.

Heart Shaped Things are an acoustic pop due who formed in February 2009 when they met while studying music at Bath Spa University. This sweet and playful duo compose a wide variety of songs from cups of tea to broken hearts. Be sure to have a listen and if you get the chance to see them live... that's even better.
