Album Listening Party / Lady Gaga
Thursday 6th March
at Bacchus, 10:00pm (18+)
We're hosting a special album listening party for the new Lady Gaga album just before it's released. This event will take place at our local cellar club Bacchus so we can hear it loud and proud. There's a limited amount of exclusive posters and stickers to give away as well as the chance to win a goody bag. We'll play the new album in full from 10:30pm - then play classics until midnight when the album drops.Blending the eclectic energy that first captivated her fans with a bold, fearless artistic vision, MAYHEM marks a triumphant return to Gaga’s pop roots. The album explores themes of chaos and transformation, celebrating music’s power to unite, provoke, and heal. “The album started as me facing my fear of returning to the pop music my earliest fans loved,” said Gaga. Far from a nostalgic throwback, MAYHEM reinvents her early sound with a kaleidoscopic approach that draws from her expansive musical library while embracing a fresh and fearless artistic perspective. Gaga describes the creative process as “reassembling a shattered mirror: even if you can’t put the pieces back together perfectly, you can create something beautiful and whole in its own new way.”-Please note: Bacchus is an 18+ venue, so please bring photo ID or you won't be able to get in! Doors 10:00pm with playback starting at 10:30pmThis is an in-person event. Posters and stickers are to be collected at Bacchus - we cannot provide these for customers who do not attend.

Somebody's Child
Thursday 27th March
at Banquet Records, 6:00pm
Admission will be via order number, please bring yours to the shop.To celebrate the release of 'When Youth Fades Away', Somebody's Child visits Kingston for an in-store set.Following the breakout success of their self-titled debut album in 2023, Dublin’s Somebody’s Child - the project led by Cian Godfrey - return with a bold new chapter in their musical journey. Their highly anticipated sophomore album When Youth Fades Away, set for release on March 28, 2025, via Frenchkiss Records. Recorded in the US with by Grammy Award-winner Peter Katis (The National, Interpol, Frightened Rabbit), When Youth Fades Away showcases a leap in maturity, both musically and thematically, for the band. Frontman Cian Godfrey describes the album as a reflection on the inevitable process of ageing and the shifting perspectives that come with it. When Youth Fades Away explores a new range of emotional and sonic territory, from the synth-driven experimentation of the title track, to the introspective, stripped-back vulnerability of "Irish Goodbye." Drawing influences from early electronic pioneers Kraftwerk (whose use of technology became a north star for the band) and the personal lyricism of Leonard Cohen, the album is indicative of the band pushing beyond indie rock conventions into new creative ground. The record features additional keyboard instrumentation by The Gloaming member Thomas Bartlett (Doveman).-In-store Grade B. Performance expected to start shortly after time shown.Priority will be given to anyone who orders a copy of 'When Youth Fades Away' from us. If there's space on the day for more people, we'll let you know!

Torres / Julien Baker
Tuesday 18th March
at St John's Church, 7:00pm (14+)
Admission will be via e-ticket. Your e-ticket will be delivered to your email address in time for the show (typically the day before the event). To celebrate the release of 'Send A Prayer My Way', Julien Baker & Torres visit Kingston to play an acoustic set at St John's Church.After dropping hints for months and following the release of their first single "Sugar in the Tank,” Julien Baker & TORRES are excited to announce the April 18 release of their debut album Send a Prayer My Way. The album has been in the works since the two played their first show together in 2016 and at the end one singer turned to the other and said, “You know, we should make a country album.” This is the origin story, the stuff of legend in the world of country music, and the beginning of a collaboration between two artists already admired for their spare, elegant lyrics as well as the courage to share their struggles with those who love their music. It’s also the beginning of creating a work that, like the most enduring country albums, sustains and inspires, reminding both singer and listener that not one of us is ever totally alone in this world, that music is a steady companion. Julien Baker & TORRES’ Send A Prayer My Way was written and sung in the best of the outlaw tradition - defiant, subversive, working class, and determined to wrestle not only with addiction, regret and bad decisions, but also with oppressive systems of power. Mercifully, this is only the beginning of the stories TORRES and Baker are determined to tell. Because these are also songs about radical empathy and second chances, and third chances, and while there’s plenty of struggle and regret in here, there’s also humor and defiance.-Times confirmed as doors at 7pm with a stage time of 8pmThose aged 14+ can attend unaccompanied. 8 to 13 year olds must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult (18+). No under 8s, sorry.St John the Evangelist, Grove Lane, Kingston upon Thames, KT1 2SU

Admission will be via order number, please bring yours to the shop.To celebrate the release of Chargie, Sigma have pressed the single onto a whitelabel, with a very special track on the B. This is a very limited run and will not be pressed again.Having left a major label deal and going at it on their own, Sigma wanted to give a nod to the founders of the genre and the culture of DJ promo whitelabels.

Scrufizzer's flow collides with Jamakabi's unmistakable deep throated ragga influenced style, creating a sonic experience that is both nostalgic and fresh—a celebration of Sigma's journey from the underground to global acclaim and back again.-In-store Grade A.

Adam F
Friday 28th February
at Bacchus, 9:00pm (18+)
Admission will be via e-ticket. Your e-ticket will be delivered to your email address in time for the show (typically the day before the event).To celebrate the release of the new album 'Colours Revisited', Adam F visits Kingston to play a DJ Set at Bacchus.'Colours Revisited', a revision of Adam F's MOBO Award-winning 1997 debut album is a story of musical rebirth and passion. Adam F, realising that 'Colours' had found a new audience—partly thanks to artists like PinkPantheress—decided to recreate the album. Instead of simply remastering the tracks, Adam went all in. Over two years, he meticulously reworked the original music, from restoring vintage instruments like his Fender Rhodes piano to enlisting UK jazz legends like Julian Joseph. Vocalists including Kirsty Hawkshaw and the late MC Conrad re-recorded their parts, while new solos from world-class musicians added fresh life to the tracks."Colours holds a special place in my heart because it was not only my first solo album, but also because I had the opportunity to collaborate with diverse talents," says the seminal producer on his ground-breaking album. "Musicians of a calibre such as Dave Ital (Guitars), The Jazz Great Julian Joseph (Keyboards and Fender Rhodes), MC Conrad (MC/Artist), Roni Jordan (Jazz a guitarist who had a hit with Miles Davis' "So What"), Tim Philbert/Tim the Bass (Bass), Greg Leicester (Bass), Maurice Capillaire/MC MC (Live MC)..."Adam continues "We were honoured to be nominated for MOBO "Best album of the year" alongside renowned acts of that time, including Hinda Hicks, Des'ree, Lighthouse Family, and Massive Attack. In fact, I was so convinced that we wouldn't win that I didn't prepare a speech, and that definitely showed in my genuine surprise. Colours also went on to be a top 20 UK National Chart hit which lead to Metropolis winning Tune of the Year at the Underground Awards. Music In My Mind from the same album was inspired from Herbie Hancock 'Rocket' and 'I Thought It Was You'."Fast forward to 2020, I never thought of ever revisiting 'Colours'. But it seems that time has come round full circle, the interest is there." The revisited album deftly weaves together the energy of new live instrumentation with the 80's British electronica and jazz fusion inspired sounds of the original. The result is a project which not only brings the album into the glistening present but somehow manages to add further depth and sense of understanding of the original 'Colours', the influences latent within it and how and why it has gone on to influence so many others since it's inception throughout the world. This is a must have album which pays homage to what has become a cornerstone of British electronic music history.-Times TBC but we expect doors at 9:00pm with Adam F's DJ set to start at 10:00pm.This is an 18+ event. Please bring driving license or passport ID. Bacchus, 2 Union Street, Kingston, KT1 1RP

The two track, forty-two-minute album is his most audacious to date, inspired by the “overview effect” experienced by astronauts looking back at the Earth from space.The Overview sees Wilson return to expansive, progressive music, a genre he helped redefine and repopularise with both his solo and Porcupine Tree releases. The two wildly ambitious tracks are each made up of distinctive musical sections that flow from one to the other, playing out as unique and continuous pieces.
