BTCP: Holiday Ghosts / UFO Rodeo

  • The Smokehouse 6 South Street Ipswich, England, IP1 3NU United Kingdom (map)

Brighten The Corners Presents indie four-piece Holiday Ghosts on Thursday 18th April 2024 at The Smokehouse.

“Absolute Reality, their fourth album, has a wonderful ramshackle air to it, a hand-crafted mid-fi ambience that really suits jangly, strummy earworms” Brooklyn Vegan

Rock ‘n’ Roll, Garage Rock and Indie perfect for suckers for the good times.

Arriving hot on the heels of acclaimed 2022 EP ‘Credit Note’, ‘Absolute Reality’ tackles different themes of social commentary, with fiery lyrics and hard picked guitars, holding both honest confessions and tall tales, lived stories and movie-like landscapes. Showcasing the noise and texture that Holiday Ghosts love from the New York punk scene and New Wave era, new single ‘Vulture’ cements their flourishing status within the alt-rock scene and lays down a real marker ahead of their spring LP release.

UK South coasters, relocating from West to East: Katja Rackin and Sam Stacpoole have been grafting and honing alone, away from the expertise of music producers and other governors since 2016. The result is unadulterated and unclean, unabashed and uncompromised. Through their love of artists such as The Kinks, Alex Chilton and The Nerves or any other artist who spends less time with the polishing cloth and more time with the power shower, Holiday Ghosts make music with a lean and primitive rock n roll spirit.

UFO RODEO is the dusty, spaghetti-western-goes-psych 16-legged supergroup of Catch 21 Records’ Gavin Bowers, featuring members of Waxx!, Vieira & The Silvers, The Molee Shakes, The Rabbitts and many more. A big band, with a big sound.
