Screensaver

Pop Mutations and Freakender are hosting a live show featuring the synth-punk band Screensaver at The Green Door Store on Saturday, 30 May 2026. The event is scheduled to begin at 19:30 at the venue, which is situated on Trafalgar Street in Brighton, postcode BN1 4FQ. This performance follows a three-year period of development for the band, during which they have refined a sound that moves between new wave and synth-punk.

The current lineup for Screensaver consists of James Beck on drums, Dorian Vary on bass, and Jonnine Nokes on second synth. Their discography includes two full-length albums: Expressions of Interest, released in 2021, and Decent Shapes, which came out in 2023. The latter received attention from various music outlets, including NME, KEXP, and Brooklyn Vegan. Their music is often described as a blend of post-punk, krautrock, dance-punk, and electronic elements. The result is a rhythmic, often danceable sound that incorporates both chaotic and cosmic textures. The band members bring experience from previous projects such as Bad Vision and Rat Columns, which informs their current approach to live performance.

For those planning to attend, the venue is located centrally, within walking distance of local landmarks like the Brighton Toy and Model Museum and Ironworks Studios. Tickets for the show are priced at £14.63, a figure that includes the booking fee. While some listings initially marked the price as to be confirmed, the current availability of tickets at this rate provides a clear expectation for the cost. The event is likely to appeal to those who follow the indie and alternative music scenes, particularly listeners interested in experimental electronic music and the post-punk genre. The combination of the venue’s atmosphere and the band’s specific blend of synth-heavy instrumentation makes this a notable addition to the local concert calendar for late May. It is a straightforward opportunity to see a band that has spent significant time incubating their sound before bringing it to the stage in a setting like The Green Door Store.
