Monday: DZ Deathrays/Dunerats/Lice, Exchange 
Australian party punks DZ Deathrays play upbeat anthems with buzzsaw guitar riffs – highly danceable, but with a hard, punk edge. Support comes from stoner punk band Dunerats and ace Bristol-based post-punkers Lice.

Tuesday: Daughter, Colston Hall
Daughter’s hushed sound is a beautiful blend of folk, indie and electronics. Singer Elena Tonra’s whispered lyrics are matched by Igor Haefeli’s subtle guitar work.

Saturday: Babyfather, The Black Swan
Alternately bleak, warm, scathing and hilarious, BBF Hosted by DJ Escrow is the most thought provoking UK album of 2016. The latest project from shapeshifting genius Dean Blunt, it draws on grime, trip hop and noise to disorientating effect.

Saturday: Wonka-Vision Fright Night, Old Crown Courts
The courtroom and police cells are the suitably creepy setting for this Halloween bass session. Expect “haunted house lock-ins, graveside cocktail bars” and music from Dub Phizix & Strategy, The Upbeats, Jubei, Foreign Concept and more.

Sunday: James Blake / Mark Pritchard, O2 Academy
Blake’s achingly mournful fusion of R&B and bass-heavy electronica won him the Mercury Prize in 2013. Tonight he performs songs from 2016 album The Colour In Anything with support from IDM polymath Mark Pritchard (Global Communication / Africa Hitech e al).

Sunday: This Is The Kit / The Fantasy Orchestra, Trinity
Based in Bristol and Paris, Kate Stables’ band This Is The Kit continue to build a passionate following for their wonderfully eccentric, endlessly inventive cocktail of pop, folk, jazz and indie. Latest album Bashed Out has been deservedly supported by various BBC 6Music shows, and support comes from ex-Moonflowers / Morning Star mainman Jesse Vernon’s equally wonderful Fantasy Orchestra.
