Fireside Bookshop & The Prince Albert Presents (Live Music!) - Lifter and Lo-Hi-Lo. Live at The Prince Albert, Stroud.
Sunday 24th of November 7pm - 10pm
Fireside Bookshop in Stroud love live music as well as excellent books. We've teamed up with the brilliant Prince Albert to bring you some evenings of fantastic live music from some of the UK's finest touring and local acts.
Lo-fi indie,folk, rock at it's finest is the name of the game for this event.
Lifter: Bristol based indie-folk seven piece Lifter are touring throughout October and November to promote their debut album 'Clasping Hands with the Moribund'.
The band proudly take musical cues from a diverse range of sources, including slowcore, folk, country, and indie rock, and deftly showcase this throughout their latest release. A handful of influences would include Picastro, Megafaun, XTC, Crazy Horse, and Bill Callahan. Their earlier material often drew comparisons to the likes of Silver Jews and Sparklehorse, all in all adding to a much scrappier and heavier sound in comparison to this more intricate and pastoral sound they’ve begun to adopt.
The band have been noted for their live shows that switch between gentle intimacy and intense bursts of noise.
Lo-Hi-Lo: are a Stroud-based 3-piece channeling their love of noisy melodic indie, weird folk and fuzzy guitars into loud-quiet slivers of lo-fi music.
Contrasting the gentler side of Grizzly Bear, Redhouse Painters and Guided By Voices with the sharper overdriven tones of The Vaselines, Joy Division and Pixies.
The band have received very positive reviews from their early gigs and their debut EP 'Further'.
