Fri 26 May 19:45pm
Here comes the second of our summer series of Des Was A Bowie Fan pre-club gigs at Paper Dress Vintage, rolling from 8pm till 11 with bolts to the heart from the outside of everything, welcoming to the club the ace Megaflora, Seafoxes and David Frank.
Megaflora are an indiepop band with a melancholy sparkle and propulsive beat pitched somewhere between Los Campesinos! and Belle and Sebastian, with an insanely brilliant, Life Without Buildings-esque rhythm coming up on the blindside. Their mini-album Redwoods is available via their bandcamp and on 12″ vinyl from the band.

Seafoxes play intimate dreampop with wildly pretty Celtic folk inflections, velvety harmonies and a summer-sweet sadness. Their debut 6-track mini-LP ‘It’s probably nothing, but…’ was released in July, 2016.

David Frank is usually found straddling a cacophony of bass and drums as the singer / keyboard player in DWaBF favourites T.O.Y.S. This is his first solo gig, playing a bunch of new songs with a sprinkling of 60s psych-Pop charm and a gentle, introspective lyricism.
