Gig by Hastings band Woodpig, which fuses traditional folk with atmospheric electronics at Tough Love St Leonards.
Woodpig play Tough Love St Leonards on Thursday 10 December, starting at 7:00 pm. It's a Hastings-based band, so this is a local night for them.
They describe their sound as channeling the rustic charm of traditional folk with a contemporary twist, fusing acoustic warmth and atmospheric electronics. It's a broad reach that pulls from several different places: acoustic, alternative, country, americana, pop and folk. The folk side is the root, but the electronics pull it away from being a purely traditional affair, and the americana and country lean into that rustic feel they talk about.
There's a particular mood they work with, too. They describe their music as evoking a deep sense of change, loss, resilience and personal journey. It's not just about the sound, then, but the kind of ground the songs cover. If you're into folk that doesn't stay strictly in the past, that's where this sits.
