The lineup for this specific date features two distinct acts. First up are Old Time Spooks, a band originally from the Basque Country in Spain. They are known for playing what they call 'Spooky Hillbilly', which blends elements of dark folk with a punk sensibility. Sharing the stage will be The Mc Curdy Brothers, who are travelling down from East Anglia. Their sound is described as a 'dirty and contagiously infectious' style of Bluesabilly Rock. It is a fairly specific combination of genres, but if you enjoy live music that leans into these darker, rootsier sounds, it might be worth checking out.
Tickets for the event are priced at £11.00. The Pipeline is a familiar spot for those who frequent the local live music scene in Brighton, and this event seems to be aimed at people who appreciate that particular blend of energetic, alternative music styles. It is a straightforward setup: two bands, a central venue, and a mid-week date. Whether you are a fan of the specific sub-genres or just looking to catch some live music in the city, the event provides a clear look at what to expect from the performers on the night.
