Ties That Bind Presents: A Different Kitchen + Support

A Different Kitchen play Southside on Saturday 5 December, presented by Ties That Bind. They're a Norwich-born quintet, the brainchild of Felix Jordan, Eliot Clarke and James Jordan, and they'll be joined by support on the night.

Their sound blurs psychedelic rock and post-punk, and they write around the darker side of grief, loss and social injustice through achingly personal songs. It's a heavy set of themes, but they've built a fair bit of momentum around them over the last couple of years. Tom Robinson and Emily Pilbeam on BBC Radio 6 Music tipped them as 'ones to watch for the future', and they've spent the last while playing their way across the region and beyond.

2025 was a big one for them: they released two EPs, Denouement and Revolt, and played Get Together Festival in Sheffield, Brighten the Corners All-Dayer in Ipswich, and South of the Tracks Festival here in Lincoln. They also played their first festival headline at Camp Out in Norwich, before heading out on a seven-show DIY UK tour. New Music Generator named them 'Best Rock Band in East Anglia' in both 2025 and 2026, and they rounded out the year with a sell-out at Dingwalls in Camden. The whole project emerged from Norfolk's quiet back country in 2023, so they've gone from a quiet start to a sell-out London show in a few short years.

Southside is on Colegrave Street, LN5 8DW. Doors are at 19:00, and tickets for the 14+ general sale are £5.50 including fees, plus a £0.50 booking fee.
