Amy Dx

Amy’s songwriting reveals narrative tendencies with hidden personal motives, supported by dark and haunting melodies. The band fuels her soaring and powerful vocals while creating a perfect blend for the delicate and subdued moments.
While currently working on their second album, Amy Dx plan to share some brand new material on the night.

‘Amy Dx, remarkable! Incredible vocals’ Dean Jackson, BBC Introducing
radio show

‘The funk inspired bassline of “Crossroads” sets the mood and makes a statement right away. The bass enters with a throbbing, joyful groove, a sort of low-end heartbeat that simultaneously grounds the song and gives it a sense of binary opposition which then gives an unexpected lift.’
Radio Wigwam’s Track Of The Week

‘A mix between Alanis, The Cranberries and PJ Harvey, her debut album received much praise from fellow artists and local press.’
Cool As Leicester, feature of the week

‘Amy is clearly not afraid to tackle difficult and important subjects and
writing on strong and emotive matters is a strong theme throughout her
work as evidenced on her debut single Worth’ Leicestermusicblog

The River

Fusing texture & light with a heavy set foundation, The River have been honing their craft for over two decades. Incorporating space, subtlety & melody, the band mixes fragile vocals with downtempo rhythms & a dense ebb & flow of guitar to create a bittersweet & wistful sound.

‘The River’s richly textured riffs and beautiful vocals rolling out gently across an appreciative audience. There were moments of absolute brilliance shaped by the perfectly understated humming and enthralling, dreamlike melodies.’
Powerplay Rock & Metal Magazine

Hymns For Horses

Raconteur acoustic folk-tinged grunge, weaving abstract tales of love, loss, and the follies of being drunk on mountaintops, Hymns For Horses is the Leicester solo project of Phillip Eldridge-Smith (bassist for Teiger). Gathering up some extra vagabonds on the way, the now-London-based trio is back at it, the culmination of two decades of life presented with whimsy.
