Lava Bow / Big Trousers

About

LAVA BOW "Lava Bow is an alternative band formed in Asnières-sur-Seine (a small town on the outskirts of Paris), on the border between sonic chaos and visceral intimacy. Composed of Côme (guitar/vocals), Sam (cello/vocals) and Alexis (drums), the band breaks the codes of traditional rock with a daring formula: no bass, but an amplified and mistreated cello, which holds both the groove and the lyrical flights of fancy. In short, Lava Bow is a radical and free live act, bucking the trend for polished formats. Their motto: ‘All is about tha pink poney’." BIG TROUSERS "Postmodern power-duo BIG TROUSERS bring a unique brand of volume, energy and eccentricity to UK and international stages. The band draw from progressive rock and post-punk to construct their spoken-word, experimental sound. Sharing stages like the Windmill Brixton with bands such as Man/Woman/Chainsaw and Heavy Lungs since their formation in 2023, the two-piece continue to push their sound with unapologetic oddity, navigating meme culture, social satire and existential dread. With their sophomore EP, "WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE INTERNET", the duo offer a surreal window into online relationships. It features the band's signature absurdist lyrics and acrobatic guitar playing, and scrambles its way through a stacked lineup of zany narrators and even zanier riffs. From a meditation on failed stardom to a protagonist in love with Microsoft PowerPoint to a doomscrolling monologue set to a midwest emo instrumental, these 5 tracks will have you wondering just how funny the internet actually is."
