Saturday 7th April - 03:00pm - PINKtank stage
We will be taking a short break from writing to travel up to West Bromwich for the Now We Are Weekender, which takes place at The Public arts centre.
The people at MMP have said some kind words about our set at SWN festival:
“Barely Regal’s own (and indeed its owners) Among Brothers took an age to soundcheck, all the while person upon person tessellated their heads to build an impenetrable hair wall between MMP and the band. The Undertone pillars were also rather unhelpful in this respect but such is the charm and quirk of the venue and, evidently, Among Brothers’ appeal. Not that the lack of visual identification really mattered. It was definitely them. You could tell by the immensely thoughtful soundscapes that borrowed from electronica and offbeat indie experimentalism, layering harmonies and almost Dexy’s-esque shared vocals. In totality, this meant a proper aural treat with each new, imaginative and unexpected turn convincing us more and more that these chaps are the real frickin’ deal.”

Jen Long was asked by Drowned In Sound to compile a list of bands to watch at SWN Festival, and we have kindly been included. Thanks Jen!
And of course, go see her band Effort too, they’re playing before us on the Barely Regal stage (Sunday 23rd at Undertone) and they’re so much fun!
