MUSIC .......................... Ben Bailey rounds up the local music scene Image courtesy of chuffmedia and Harriet Brown BRITISH SEA POWER Fri 12, Patterns, 7pm, £20 After their sold out Concorde show in February, British Sea Power are back to play a benefit gig in the substantially smaller downstairs room of Patterns. The night is in aid of charities working to help homeless people, with proceeds split between Mind and The Clock Tower Sanctuary. As if the pull of BSP wasn’t enough to pack out the venue, there’s also a bill of top local support. Fresh from the launch of their debut album last month, Yumi and the Weather bring their homemade brew of otherworldly electro pop to temper the night’s indie vibe. You’ll also hear the mannered gloomy garage of Heirloom and the 80s-inflected dream pop of Underwater Boys. BLACK HONEY Sun 14, Concorde 2, 7.30pm, £12 A buzz has been building around Black Honey ever since they released their first EP in 2014. At the end of last year they toured with Royal Blood across Europe, playing arenas for six weeks. Now, at last, their debut album is out – though it might not be what everyone expected. The Brighton four-piece once described themselves as ‘60s alternative female-fronted indie psychedelic rock’, but the latest batch of singles suggest they’ve since morphed into something much more polished, produced and ultimately radio friendly. Singer and guitarist Izzy Baxtor may look a bit punky, but she sounds more like Lana Del Rey. New single Midnight sees the band go full disco, complete with sparkly outfits and an unstoppably catchy chorus. NICK PYNN & KATE DAISY GRANT Thu 18, The Old Market, 8pm, £15 Although this is ostensibly a show featuring two different musicians, they actually play together so often they may as well be a duo. Nick Pynn is a multi-instrumentalist who has one foot in the folk world and another that taps away frantically at effects boxes and loop pedals. His electro-acoustic experiments often result in a stage strewn with bizarre and novel instruments, many of which he made himself. In this context, Kate is almost forced to play the foil to Nick’s kooky inventor, yet she holds her own as a distinctive songwriter and singer. In fact, there’s something subtly unusual in the composition of her piano-based torch songs that complements her partner’s more erratic instrument juggling. SIREN Sun 21, Brunswick, 7pm, £7/5 Siren was formed in 1980 by four Brighton lesbians who also ran a radical theatre group of the same name. The band was inspired by the spirit of punk, though their politically explicit lyrics were accompanied by a softer sound incorporating synths and sax. Having played their debut show back in the day at the Marlborough, they reformed a few years ago after a gap of nearly 30 years. With songs championing gay rights and denouncing Tory policies, the band might have been disappointed to find their old material was sadly very much still relevant. With an added vocalist on board the band continue to gig (including a spot at Brighton Dome back in June), and are, as they say, ‘still writing, still rocking and still radical!’ ....45....
