For the last in our series of ‘Cool Animal’ shows highlighting just how many great bands there are in our city – venue faves Perspex are playing a stripped back set, Trueman & The Indoor League are doing something similar and Mr Tom Carroll (Workfriends, aka Captain Starlet) opens solo.
Announcements
Belvedere, Wolfrik + Fizzy Milk
Canadian skate-punk/melodic hardcore band Belvedere come to The Crescent in April.
Electric Six, The Sub-Gents + The Kut – *SOLD OUT*
Perhaps you were too busy marvelling at how wonderful it felt to have your life ripped apart by Electric Six at the last couple of shows to notice that Electric Six didn’t even have a new album. Well, my friend, that is going to change. This year, you’re going to have your life and your mind shredded by brand new E6 stuff for the first time in four years!!!! The new album is “Born To Be Ridiculed” and it may be the poppiest, danciest Electric Six you’ve ever known.
The Mission – *SOLD OUT*
An intimate show in York for the legendary goth-rockers.
Eric Gales + Dom Martin
Critically acclaimed blues rock guitarist Eric Gales returns to the UK in June 2022 following the release by Provogue of his studio album “Crown” produced by and featuring Joe Bonamassa.
The Smyths – **SOLD OUT**
Formed in 2003 because of pure Morrissey/Marr & co. passion, The Smyths “didn’t just want to be a tribute band – we wanted to play the music of The Smiths and recreate what is was to see and hear The Smiths live”.
Katie Spencer, Iona Lane + Chris Brain
A big friend of the venue here after supporting our special Michael Chapman live-stream and performing some great support slots, Katie Spencer comes to The Crescent for a headline show as she prepares to release her second album ‘The Edge Of the Land’.
Martin Simpson & Andy Cutting
Masters of guitar & melodeon respectively, Martin Simson & Andy Cutting come together for a special show at The Crescent in May.
Slop Em Up – Single Launch Party
Slop Em Up are an exciting blast into York’s youthful DIY band scene. Formed last year at the University of York, they play a mixture of jazz, funk, indie rock, and pop. After headlining the Jazz Party back in Autumn, they return for a launch of their debut single; ‘Pizza Boy Blues’, which is out on Valentine’s.
Pavilion, J.Halliday + Shirley B.
Another snapshot of the York underground with three ace acts together to play on the dancefloor/in-the-round in The Crescent.
