Life: Live + Signing

If you have been following the latest releases, you might have noticed that the band LIFE, originally from Hull, is making a stop in Brighton this summer. On Tuesday, 23 June 2026, they will be at Resident Music for a live performance and album signing session. This visit is tied to the release of their new record, 'ABSTRACT / NATURAL', which the band describes as a sonic narrative of stories that celebrate community. It is a chance to see the band in a more intimate setting than a standard concert venue, as they set up right among the record shelves in the shop, temporarily stepping away from their own community in Hull for this specific appearance.

The event is scheduled to run from 18:30 until 20:30, with doors opening at the start time. Resident Music, located at 28 Kensington Gardens, is about a five-minute walk from Brighton station, making it fairly accessible if you are coming from elsewhere in the city. The shop has a capacity of 180 people for this session, and it is open to all ages. Tickets are priced at £14.67, and there are options available that include the album bundle for those interested in picking up a copy of the new work while they are there. Given the capacity, it is a smaller gathering compared to typical touring dates.

For those who frequent the North Laine area, Resident Music is a familiar spot, but this setup offers a different way to engage with the music. Rather than a traditional stage environment, the band will be performing in the store, allowing for direct interaction during the signing portion of the evening. The album itself touches on themes of belonging, love, desire, and pride, and this event provides a space to hear those tracks live in a setting that focuses on the music itself. Whether you are a long-time listener of their work or just curious about the new album, the event provides a straightforward way to hear the tracks live and meet the band in a space that is well-known for its role in the local music scene.
