About this event
Spwci
Spwci (pronounced spooky) is a female-fronted psychedelic rock band rooted in the stunning landscapes of Wales. Formed in late 2022, the group has developed a distinctive sound that blends the classic elements of psychedelic rock with their own personal styles to create something new and exciting. The band is made up of Jam on guitar, Joe on drums, Froggie on bass, and Matilda on vocals.

The band is made up of Jam on guitar, Joe on drums, Froggie on bass, and Matilda on vocals.
Since their formation, Spwci has performed at a variety of venues, ranging from small, intimate settings to larger festival stages. Their live shows are vibrant and engaging, often characterized by dynamic energy and thoughtful moments of introspection. While they bring a sense of fun and energy to the stage, they’re equally at home creating quieter, more contemplative atmospheres.
Drawing influence from artists such as Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zepplin, and more modern acts like Wolf Alice and Garbage, Spwci crafts songs that explore themes of self-discovery, spirituality, love, heartbreak, feminism, and their connection to Wales and the natural world around them. Their music moves fluidly between energetic, upbeat tracks and slower, reflective pieces, aiming to connect with listeners on multiple levels. With two singles already released, Spwci has begun to gain attention in their local music scene and beyond.
Their song No Escape received airplay on BBC Radio Wales Introducing, marking an exciting milestone for the band as they continue to develop their sound. With a new single and an EP planned for release later this year, they’re looking forward to sharing more of their music with growing audiences. Spwci’s music reflects a wide range of experiences and emotions, and they draw inspiration from both personal stories and their surroundings. Their songs aim to create an experience that invites listeners to explore the themes and emotions woven into their sound as well as making their performances a space for fun and enjoyment.
Flatcat
Flatcat are a new and upcoming four-piece shoegaze band from Swansea. They combine loud fuzzy guitar with soft vocals to create their own unique sound.
The Serene Scene
Hailing from Rhondda Cynon Taf, South Wales, The Serene Scene was formed in early 23’. Mixing elements of Alt-Rock and Pop, they’re not afraid to express difficult emotions and push themselves musically.
Their debut release ‘Dancing at Midnight’ in April 24’ showcased a sound differing from the crowd and a fun edge to the band. They have more singles to be released throughout 2025.
Vain Stamen
Vain Stamen are a rock band consisting of Marshall Ingram (guitar / vocals), Jaamie Sen (bass / backing vocals) and Angus Watson (drums / vocals). Having previously played here as former incarnation Spanish Midnight we can't wait to see what they have in store for us.
Scott Hayes
Local singer-songwriter Scott Hayes recently played at our open mic recently and his well-crafted, hauntingly beatiful songs captivated the audience.
