Shallowater at The Hope & Ruin

If you are looking for something to do on the evening of Friday, 11 September 2026, the trio Shallowater will be playing at The Hope & Ruin in Brighton. They are scheduled to perform from 20:00 until 23:00. It is a chance to see a band that has been carving out a specific sound, which they refer to as 'raw West Texas dirtgaze'.

For those unfamiliar with their background, the group consists of Blake Skipper on guitar and vocals, Tristan Kelly on bass, and Ryan Faulkenberry on drums. Their music tends to blend elements from a few different genres, specifically slowcore, post-hardcore, country, and Americana. It is a distinct mix that has helped them establish a presence in the current alternative scene. If you are curious about their sound, it is essentially a reflection of their West Texas roots, translated into a live setting.

Regarding the logistics for the night, the event is strictly for those aged 18 and over. The support act for the evening has been confirmed as Twine, who will be opening the show. Tickets are currently priced at £15, plus any applicable booking fees. It is worth checking the details on the Joy Concerts website if you are planning to attend, as that is where the specific ticketing and scheduling information is managed. The Hope & Ruin is a familiar spot for many in Brighton, so it should be a straightforward evening of live music.
