Eudaemonia Live – Manchester

First published March 2018. Now part of ‘The Best Of Eudaemonia.’ More info via the ABOUT page.

Today, we preview our Eudaemonia Live Event taking place at Jimmy’s, Manchester.

The Circus Villains:

The Darlington formed band have an infectious sound, take “Mistake” for example. A blending of impressive guitar riff and lyricism creates a track like no other. One can only assume that their Manchester return will be something worth catching come 4th April 2018!

Debut EP ‘An Evening With… The Circus Villains’ is perhaps the perfect starting point for the new listener, a true expression of their sound. “Blurred Dreamz” is also firm evidence of their electric sound, once again a track which is memorable from first listen. We cannot wait to catch The Circus Villains live in Manchester!

Feral Family:

If debut single “Treacle” is anything to go by, Feral Family are onto something quite special. The track displays all the positives of guitar based music. Its ever obvious bass line connects well with lyricism to create stellar atmosphere similar to the likes of Cabbage, The Fall and more. 

Their sound is at times raucous, vocally impressive with a unique twist. Inspiration from the punk/grunge movement is at times obvious, though in many ways Feral Family are on a quest to redefine music in their own way, their Jimmy’s event coming with the release of upcoming single “Shock Horror.”

Getrz:

Swindon formed Getrz are already embarked upon an incredible 2018, their live credentials seem to know no boundaries and instant industry support is ever growing. Their sound is anthemic and if latest single “Old Town” is anything to go by, Getrz’s sound is destined to the larger stages.

“Mother” has the same effect, hugely noticeable choruses mix well with instantly catchy guitar riffs. However, it is heavier tracks such as “Jewellery” which are most promising, in many ways they act as they perfect soundtrack to any raucous weekend night.

Alongside their Jimmy’s NQ gig comes dates as Modern Ages’ Soma Fest in London as well as trips to Bristol and Leeds. If any band are going to take this summer by storm then it for sure  is Getrz!

Brown Lion Zoo:

Brown Lion Zoo made our 2018 watch-list for good reason, they really are onto something special! Already gaining strong reputation in Nottingham and beyond, it is clear that they have a sound worth listening to. Their debut EP release ‘Where’s My Sandwich’ is unusual in both name and initial superiority – it is a rarity to see a new band release something so good, so early in their career.

“Get Up” is impressive, it has a breezy sound and strong lyricism and could soundtrack any formative experience. Whilst on record they appear calmer, their live sound is in many ways heavy and atmospheric and takes them to an even larger dimension. “Electric Bed” is a wonderful example of this!

2018 promises dates in Nottingham, London and more! We can’t wait to see what the band have planned, their Manchester debut is gonna be something else and we can only urge you to get down early!

Eudaemonia Live

First published October 2017. Now part of ‘The Best Of Eudaemonia.’ More info via the ABOUT page.

From its inception Eudaemonia has had an aim of bringing upcoming new bands and music into limelight. The necessity for a live gig has always been in the forefront of our minds. With this comes Eudaemonia Live, Nottingham’s newest celebration of some of the best new bands the city and beyond has to offer!

Here’s an insight into Sisteray, Brown Lion Zoo and Lighthouse who will play Eudaemonia Live #1 at Nottingham’s Maze on 12.10.2017:

Sisteray:

We cannot hide our love for these boys, they have taken London by storm and already have a reputation like no other. Having just launched their own club night in Paris, Sisteray come to Nottingham on the top of their game. Their live set is mesmerising as a result of their raw energy and infectious sound.

Songs such as “Queen’s English” and “White Knuckle Joy Ride” taken from latest EP release ’15 Minutes’ are both exceptional. They mix punk-like guitar chords with relevant lyricism to create confident, energetic tracks which are best suited to the live setting. Quite frankly, Sisteray have one of the most impressive live sets going, they’ve wowed festival crowds across the country this year already, Nottingham is in for one hell of a treat!

Brown Lion Zoo:

Formed locally at university, Brown Lion Zoo have already made massive waves into the local music scene. Their impressive outings at small venues across town are constantly gaining more and more support, in many ways they are THE most talked about upcoming band in Nottingham right now.

Forget all that though, let their sound do the talking. Their recent EP release ‘Where’s My Sandwich’ is nothing short of impressive. Already it is one of our favourite releases of the year, songs such as “Desire” and “Get Up” are not only well technically produced but are entirely listenable. Brown Lion Zoo are quite possibly one of Nottingham’s best new exports, their potential is limitless.

Lighthouse:

Lighthouse are the epitome of great sounds and huge potential. Their music is infectious and well structured, it won’t be long before they have a reputation across the country starting with their debut Nottingham gig.

Recent double A side release ‘Brown Bottle Flu/Loaded’ is a firm example of their musical abilities. Both catchy and well presented, it is symbolic perhaps of bands such as Palma Violets and The Libertines though with an entirely unique twist. Given the quality of their future release we can only recommend them profusely!

Eudaemonia Live #1 takes place on Thursday 12th October at Nottingham’s Maze. All profits will be donated to Mind, they provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem.
