The Roebucks

The Roebucks play The Bunkhouse on Thursday 12 November, their only Swansea date of the run. They're a four-piece from Brighton, and the set is built around their take on blues rock — a sound they describe as sometimes woozy and tender, other times earthy and visceral.

They've been around since 2022, but the band really hit their stride when drummer and vocalist Sophie Moloney joined in early 2024. It was a move that lifted both the songwriting and the live shows, and it's where the band's current sound comes together: lush three-part harmonies paired with Duane Allman-esque riffs and a tight rhythm section. The line-up is Lola Gordon, Tom Cotter, Henry Brown and Sophie Moloney.

That's the core of what you'll hear on the night — the blues roots are there, but they're filtered through a particular, idiosyncratic lens that lets the softer, more melodic side of the band sit alongside the heavier, more visceral moments. It's a four-piece band with two female lead vocalists, and those harmonies are a good part of what sets them apart from the usual blues-rock fare.

The gig is at The Bunkhouse Bar and Music Venue on Park Street, SA1 3DJ, and it starts at 18:00. Tickets are £11.75, which includes the booking fee.
