On July 12, Underbelly is set to host another night of genre-bending delight at Coventry's new cathedral of alt/DIY music: LTB at the Priory Visitor Centre. Joining us are "twee-gaze" country slackers Gingham. The brum based five piece meld the legendary shoegaze/dream-pop sounds of the late eighties and early nineties with indie folk/Americana. They'll be joined on the night by fierce jazz/post-rock quartet Ranger and the ethereal vocals & layered guitars of Reign. An all midlands line-up for the masses.
Gingham
Five-piece Gingham are one of Birmingham's most exciting bands, and are quickly making a name across the country as purveyors of a style they dub “twee-gaze”. With their recent release "Lucky" Gingham meld the legendary shoegaze/dream-pop sounds of the late eighties and early nineties with indie folk/Americana and some nods to the resurgent crop of country slackers like MJ Lenderman.
Founded in late 2023, the brummy outfit consist of five friends: Ted Spivey
(vocals, guitar) Guy Bancroft (guitar, vocals) Harry Price (bass guitar) Charlotte
Edgington (vocals, synth, guitar) and Robert ‘Bobbo’ Jones (drums), each of whom cut their teeth plying their trade in the local music scene.
Gingham have played packed out gigs across the UK and supported artists including Miki Berenyi of nineties royalty Lush and London punks King Nun.
Their releases have been met with rave reviews and garnered radio play on Amy Lamé’s BBC Radio 6 Music show, BBC Radio Scotland and KEXP.
Ranger
What began as a solo venture from experimental artist Joshua Ranger has now evolved into the fierce jazz/post-rock fusion quartet that is Ranger.
With neighbouring influences of post rock, midwest emo & 70s prog: the mystery of Ranger is unravelled instantly when hearing them play together. Going full steam ahead, moving across standout new material that chaotic and blissful in equal measure.
With the driving force of Dom Holyoake alongside Casper Hamilton and Maté Kövesdi - Ranger embarks on their third chapter of fearless, boundary-pushing compositions containing their most ambitious and exciting work to date.
