Live gig by The Mourning After, a New Wave and Synth Pop band, at Shakespeare's Pub on Gibraltar Street.
The Mourning After play Shakespeare's Pub on Saturday 14 November, with tickets starting from £11. It's a double bill, so they're sharing the night with very special guests, and the music doesn't stop when the bands pack up — the venue keeps the tunes going with records spun on original chunky vinyl.
The whole thing is part of the pub's annual 'Shakey Shindig', which they bill as their favourite night of the year. If you've been to it before, you'll know the format: two bands on the bill and vinyl on the decks. It's one of those nights that stretches across the evening rather than just a single set, so it's worth arriving early if you want to catch the guests as well as the main act.
As for the sound, The Mourning After describe their music as spanning New Wave Alternative, Electronic, Pop, Alternative and Synth Pop. That's a fair bit of ground to cover, but the common thread is the electronic side of things — the synth pop and new wave elements suggest a sound that sits somewhere between the dancefloor and the guitar band, with a pop sensibility running through it. If you're into synth-driven stuff, this is the one to keep an eye on.
