Don't Tell presents Committee of Sleep

Committee of Sleep play The Rossi Bar on Wednesday 4 November, presented by Don't Tell. They're a four-piece lo-fi pop band from the North of the UK, fronted by songwriter Olly Lightfoot. The night is over-18s only, with Heart and Mouth opening for them.

Lightfoot's 2022 cancer diagnosis informs much of the band's lyrical landscape, and it's a presence that runs through the songs rather than sitting on the surface. Joined by Pleasance When Soph on guitar and vocals, their sound drifts between shoegaze, bedroom pop and DIY experimentation, crafting textured, emotionally driven songs. It's the kind of music that sits comfortably in the lo-fi tradition — a bit hazy around the edges, more concerned with mood and feeling than a polished studio sheen.

Heart and Mouth take the first slot, so there's two acts on the bill. The Rossi Bar is at 8 Queens Road, BN1 3WA, and the night runs from 19:30 to 23:30. Tickets are £6.18 as a guide price.
