Shame

Shame play EartH in Hackney on Monday 2 November, with Sorry and Lava La Rue on the bill. It's a London show for a London band, and they're playing one of the city's more distinctive spaces — EartH, the Evolutionary Arts Hackney venue at 11-17 Stoke Newington Road, N16 8BH.

Shame have built their name around a particular kind of live energy, and having them on home turf usually brings that out. They're the headliners here, and they'll be sharing the stage with Sorry and Lava La Rue, so it's a full night of music rather than a single set. If you've followed them from the start, you'll know they're a band that works best in a room like this, where the focus is on the performance and the crowd is close enough to feel it.

Having Sorry and Lava La Rue opening means the evening starts well before Shame take the stage. Sorry bring their own distinct run of records to the night, and Lava La Rue adds another layer to the line-up, so you're getting three acts in one sitting. It's the kind of bill that makes a Monday night in Hackney worth the trip, especially if you're already across the bands.

Doors open at 6:30 pm, and tickets start from £15.00. With three acts on the bill, it's a full evening's worth of music, so if you're planning to catch all three, arriving early is the way to go. EartH is at 11-17 Stoke Newington Road, N16 8BH, and the night kicks off at 6:30 pm.
