Live music gig by Bathing Suits, a band blending abrasive guitars and pummelling techno, at Volks Club.
Bathing Suits play Volks Club on Thursday 8 October, from 19:00 to 23:00. It's a single-band bill, so they're the only act on the night.
They're a band that came out of the DIY party scene in their hometown of Leeds, and you can hear that background in how they play. They cut their teeth in the same basements that hosted their own homemade clubnights: tiny rooms decked out to the max with blaring PAs, rumbling sub-woofers and elaborate lighting rigs. That's the kind of environment they've built their sound around, and it's the energy they bring to the stage.
What they do is a bit of a collision. They surge into clubland armed with a battery of abrasive guitars and pummelling techno, and they draw from two very different places at once: the frenetic energy of contemporary post-punk and the raunchy sensibilities of early 2010s pop. It's a mix that sits somewhere between a loud guitar band and a dancefloor, and it's a good way to describe what you'll get on the night.
