The lineup for the evening features four acts: Sandhouse, BIGHEAD, HORNET, and Thimble. Sandhouse, the headlining duo made up of Anna Sutherland on vocals and Casper Holloway on guitar, brings a sound that draws from a few different eras and genres. Their music blends 60s psychedelia with 90s alternative rock, while also incorporating trip hop and contemporary electronic elements. If you are familiar with the sound of bands like Beach House, Massive Attack, Wolf Alice, or Morcheeba, you might find their approach interesting. They will be sharing the stage with BIGHEAD, HORNET, and Thimble, rounding out the bill for the night.
For those interested in attending, tickets are priced at £11.00. You can pick them up through platforms like Fatsoma or DICE, which are the primary outlets linked via the venue's official channels. The Hope & Ruin is located at 11-12 Queens Road, right in the centre of Brighton, making it fairly accessible if you are already in the area. It is a straightforward setup for a Friday night if you want to catch a mix of new music in a familiar local venue.
