Tom Rowley + Bloodworm

Tom Rowley plays The New Adelphi Club on Wednesday 4 November, with Bloodworm supporting. It's a bit of a milestone for him: after two decades as a fixture of the Sheffield scene, this is the first time he's gone out on his own.

If his name doesn't ring a bell, you've likely heard his work. He founded Milburn at fourteen, went on to write and perform with Reverend & The Makers, and has been a long-term touring member of Arctic Monkeys, co-writing parts of Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino and The Car. This show is the first time he's stepped out from those bands to front his own night. His debut album, Moses And The Drones, came out in April this year, so the set will be built around that.

Bloodworm open the night. They work with the dark, atmospheric energy of gothic rock and the melodic side of post-punk: haunting vocals from singer George Curtis that bring The Cure to mind, brooding basslines echoing Joy Division, and the shoegaze textures of Ride. Their tracks 'Back of a Hand' and 'Depths' have carved out a place for them in the modern post-punk scene, so they're a natural fit for the bill.

It's a mid-week one, with the music starting at 8pm at The New Adelphi Club, 89 De Grey Street, Hull, HU5 2RU. Tickets are £17.50 in advance.
