In case you missed it, this show is sold out. Didn't even need to do Fatsoma Friday, which is good because we forgot about it.

Out today!

🤖 Narrated by automatons in a near-future synthetic age, the second #PinkOpaque single 'Bringing Back The Humans' brings with it a fantastic vocal, a super-catchy chorus, a wry critique of the AI industry, and a wibbly Stylophone theremin 👇

Even more stoked about this now. Big Other's recent single rules and I'm glad we're getting to put them on.

Fortitude Valley's new stuff is also amazing and Precious Metals are my favourite current Sheffield band, so this will be a fun night. You should buy a ticket.

Honestly, we think they're way more melodic than that, but whatever. You'll love them.

We are SUPER EXCITES to add BIG OTHER to the line-up for our next show with @fortitudevalley.bsky.social 💖

Inspired by Sonic Youth, Pixies and Veruca Salt, they've been described as "screeching and sprawling" and "a gripping wall of sound". Remember Laurie Hulme from Songs For Walter? It's him! 💖

I went to the @machomusicisstupid.co.uk popshow in Sheffield on Friday night and my head is so open to joy again - hug your friends, kiss your loves, go see bands, wear a trans badge, talk to people you don't know very well. We need all we can get so we can keep going ⚡⚡⚡

Right, @junkwhaletheband.bsky.social @nathysg.bsky.social + @pinkopaque.co.uk is happening in 2 days time. If you're not coming, you'd better have a bloody good excuse. Not living in Sheffield is valid (up to a point - I WILL carry out a full transport feasibility study)

If we were in any way cool we'd probably say we're *stoked* to be supporting @junkwhaletheband.bsky.social next Friday

New @junkwhaletheband.bsky.social just dropped which seems an absolutely excellent reason to join us for their #Sheffield show with @nathysg.bsky.social and @pinkopaque.co.uk next Friday
