Tuesday
To celebrate the launch of Noise Syrup, The Hope & Ruin will host their first ever pop-up party/gig. Noise Syrup is a brand new creative platform highlighting and focussing on upcoming artists and creatives. Their aim to create a platform where new talent can have a voice, on their website they say “we want to make ‘Noise’ for emerging artists of all kinds, spill ‘Syrup’ about the important things and provide food for the soul”. They have a truly killer line-up of up and coming Brighton rock with bands such as, CLT DRP, ARXX, Frank & Beans and Elephant Radio. CLT DRP are an electro-punk trio playing “something genuinely exciting and refreshing as it’s something most listeners would find hard to assign to a clear genre”
The Hope & Ruin. 11-12 Queens Road. BN1 3WA.
Wednesday
Cosmo Sheldrake has finally released his album after many years of releasing EP’s and playing sold out Brighton shows. Sheldrake is a 28-year old multi instrumentalist musician who uses recordings from the most weird and wonderful things to compose and produce a truly unique sound. He has toured the world both on his own and with Mr Jukes, Johnny Flynn and the Sussex Wit and many more. He is an incredibly talented man who deserves all the recognition he can get. After working as a music teacher in the US and Canada and composing music for films and theatre, this is a lucky chance to catch him on his home ground.
The Haunt. 10 Pool Valley, BN1 1NJ.

Thursday
Brighton’s punk scene will descend on Sticky Mike’s this Thursday evening. A rare Brighton gig from London’s The Lowest Form, this night is guaranteed to bring the nicest and hardest punks down to the seaside. Arguably Brighton’s best, if not a close second, State Funeral will play first support in this tiny venue so get ready for their new bangers and older classics, it’s only their second show of the year in Brighton. We have Structure and Unease coming as supports too, with Unease, featuring members of Never and Watchcries, playing their first show.

Additionally Mouses, Frank & Beans and Brighton’s best answer to dirty pysch-rock, Guru who will be playing last.
