The London Indie Music Meetup Group

DAIISTAR is an Alt-Indie band formed in Austin, Texas in the spring of 2020. The band takes their inspiration from the neo-psychedelic era of the 80s and 90s (The Jesus and Mary Chain, Spacemen 3, early Primal Scream) and pulls it into the future with modulating synthesizers, heavy guitars, bouncing bass lines, and spiraling hooks, creating a narcotic blend of noise and melody.

Sailor Honeymoon are a Korean-indie supergroup of sorts. The band features three musicians from disparate mediums who are all well-established in their own medium. Photographer and vocalist for new-wave band Deadbeat Club, Abi Raymaker, is on drums. Techno DJ Zaeeun Shin plays guitar. Indie icon Jimin Kim (aka Meaningful Stone) plays bass. The Korean punk trio hit the ground running with their debut single Cockroach, a tongue-in-cheek song about trying to get rid of an unwanted insect. Part indie rock, part spoken word inspired by Kim Deal and Kim Gordon, they barrel through two minutes of good-natured, fuzzy garage-tinted goodness.

Sonically daring. Visually adventurous. Hypnotic art-punk with a bizarre post-punk edge. Six-piece ensemble Gut Health has emerged from the Naarm/Melbourne underground as one of Australia’s most compelling new acts. With a heavy emphasis on their driving rhythm section backed by sharp, angular guitars and mind-mangling synthesisers, Gut Health’s songs are brought home by the effervescent melodies and lyrical wit of front person Athina Uh Oh.

“Excitable and exciting, enchantingly untamed, their post-punk base contains curious flecks of No Wave and art-pop” – Rolling Stone

“An amalgamation of The B-52s, early Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and maybe a touch of Wire, but it’s an energy all their own that draws you in” – Post Trash

“Their no wave, queer rave culture inspired post-punk floor-fillers are uninhibited, full of energy and addictive” – Gimmie Zine

“Making raucous, catchy and riotous music, they are on the rise, and are proving themselves a force to be reckoned with.” – triple j

Hi All,

This is a weekly club night that takes place in Underworld Camden every Friday night and as I haven't been before I thought it would be a great opportunity to set up a meetup event for it! The plan is to meet at The World's End pub right next to the venue, have a few drinks, chat and get to know each other before heading into the club at 11. Tickets are £8. See further info and a link to the tickets below:

Noted as influences by the likes of My Bloody Valentine, Ride, The Stone Roses, Primal Scream, and The Charlatans, among many others, legendary Paisley Underground group Rain Parade return for the first London headline concert in decades.

Matt Piucci and Steven Roback have been writing songs together since 1981, and are co-founders, along with David Roback, of Rain Parade. Their debut album, Emergency Third Rail Power Trip, released by Enigma Records in the US and Demon Records in the UK in 1983, is internationally recognized as a masterpiece.

The follow up EP, Explosions In The Glass Palace (1984) garnered the same high praise, and its reputation has been increasing ever since. Sid Griffin, author and leader of The Long Ryders has said: “We were in the Paisley Underground with Rain Parade back in the 1980s… Explosions In The Glass Palace is and will forever be the BEST recording from a Paisley Underground band, be it us, The Dream Syndicate, The Bangles, The Three O’Clock or whomever.”

Rain Parade are back with a brand new album Last Rays of a Dying Sun.
