Florentenes

Florentenes play The Sunflower Lounge on Tuesday 20 October, with Okay Blue opening the night. It's a mid-week one, so you'll be in and out on a Tuesday rather than spending your whole weekend on it.

Florentenes are a four-piece from the north, and they describe their sound as indie rock with a punk attitude. That's a fair shorthand for what they bring to the stage: the melodic side of indie combined with the faster, louder energy of punk. It's the kind of gig that sits somewhere between a proper indie show and a punk set, and having Okay Blue on the bill means the night starts with two acts on the same ticket.

If you're not familiar with them, it's a good chance to catch them live in a room that keeps things close. The Sunflower Lounge is a well-known spot in Birmingham, and on a Tuesday night it's a straightforward way to see a band without the weekend crowds. The set is built around the four of them, and with Okay Blue opening, you've got two bands in one evening.

Doors are at 19:00, so you can get in early, grab a drink, and settle in before the music starts. It's a Tuesday night in Birmingham, and Florentenes are the main draw.
