Flat Moon UK Tour

Flat Moon bring their UK tour to The New Adelphi Club on Friday 20 November, with the night running from 7:30pm to 11pm. They're a six-piece collective from Leeds, and they describe themselves as the nation's only microwaveable psych-funk-punk band. It's a bit of a mouthful, but it gives you a fair idea of where they sit: crashing between funk and punk, driven by a saxophone-guitar combo and an intricate rhythm section. They talk about exploring escapism through a neurodivergent lens, and they're quite insistent that what they play is real human music.

Critics have described it as full-bodied, vibrant and often hilarious, played with precision and synchronicity. They've also noted that it doesn't fit into any single genre — alive, messy and incredibly skilled. If you've never seen them, that's a good place to start: a six-piece that pulls from funk and punk, with the sax and guitar doing a lot of the heavy lifting.

Opening for them is Wench!, an angry, outspoken feminist punk and riot grrrl trio from Hull. They formed in 2023, so they're still relatively new, and their sound is raw and high-energy, blending punk, blues and folk. It's a local support act, so you'll be seeing a Hull band open for the visiting Leeds collective.

Tickets are £9.00 plus a £0.66 fee, and the whole thing runs from 7:30pm to 11pm at The New Adelphi Club, 89 De Grey St, Hull HU5 2RU.
