"Controversial American rap group Public Enemy will play a rare British gig in Bristol next month.

The legendary group, fronted by outspoken rappers Chuck D and Flavor Flav, are appearing at the Trinity Community Centre on May 26.

Public Enemy are widely regarded as the most influential group on the genre, pioneering a hardcore rap sound which has been copied by numerous acts over the past 15 years.
Their Bristol gig is the first date of a short European tour and will be a warm-up for Winchester's Homelands festival.

Promoter Malcolm Haynes of Good Groove Promotions said tickets for Public Enemy's appearance in Bristol are expected to sell out quickly.

He said: This is a real scoop for us and it was simply a case of us being in the right place at the right time.

“They are only doing one gig in England apart from the Homelands festival, so we expect it to generate a lot of interest.

Public Enemy were formed in 1982 by Chuck D and their début album, Yo! Bum Rush The Show, was released by Def Jam Records in 1987.

The follow up, It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold us Back, pushed the cult group into the mainstream and coincided with Chuck D's notorious statement that rap was “The black CNN”.

Public Enemy went on to record classic rap albums like Welcome To The Terrordome and Apocalypse 91...The Enemy Strikes Black, recorded with thrash metal band Anthrax, and work with film director Spike Lee.

They continued to court controversy with lyrics which have been labelled anti-Semitic."

Over the past two years, Lift Your Feet have been running beautiful parties in York and Leeds. With a focus on all things jazzy and soulful. They’ve had guest slots from Charlie Dark, Coco Maria, Mikey Don, Tina Edwards, Zag Erlat, as well as a host of very talented local DJs. After recent parties, including their annual jazz dance with Leeds Jazz Festival and a collaboration with Friday Feeling and Cosmic Slop, the good word continues to spread about the joyous souls of Lift Your Feet.

Precious Energy have been sharing speakers with the York party over the past year, and have been waiting for the right opportunity to collaborate on a party down south. They’re really excited to have them making the trip to Bristol to spin for them.

You can hear more about their party happenings here.

As usual at Precious Energy, food will be included with advance tickets and available from the start until it runs out.

Standard, Supported, and Solidarity ticket options. For every Solidarity ticket purchased, they'll make another Supported ticket available.

The Evil Usses

+ Support

Having met as part of the final cohort to attend the legendary (and sadly now defunct) experimental Dartington College of Arts in rural Devon, Conrad, Dan, Leon and Lorenzo played together in various other permutations before forming The Evil Usses. Having arrived at a sound somewhere between Captain Beefheart's Magic Band and Deerhoof, they now find themselves embedded within Bristol's boundlessly creative music scene and part of the 'Bloom' collective.

Their eponymous debut saw them working with Jim Barr (Portishead/Get the Blessing) and their second album 'Amateur Pro Wrestling' was produced by Deerhoof guitarist John Dieterich. Both records quickly sold out on limited edition colour splatter vinyl and have since been repressed. Their third release, the 10” mini-album 'Muck' (also co-produced by Dieterich), was released in April 2018 and saw the Usses further stretching the envelope of their playfully warped vision of sonic reality. LP number four is currently in the oven and will be released in late 2020 on new label Dawn Chorus Recording Company started by Canterbury psych legends Syd Arthur.

Since forming in 2013 they have been supported by Bristol indie label Stolen Body Records. They have shared stages with the likes of Melt Yourself Down, The Comet is Coming and Sons of Kemetand have embarked on several European tours, bringing their joyful noise as far as Greece and Portugal.

Leon Boydon – Bass; Dan Truen – Drums; Lorenzo Prati – Sax and Keys; Conrad Singh – Guitar

We are pleased to bring you a mind bending evening celebrating the second album from Bristol-based experimental three-piece, book your table now*

My Octopus Mind

After an explosive 2019 which saw the release of their spectacular debut album ‘Maladyne Cave’ and two subsequent DIY European tours, Bristol-based experimental three-piece My Octopus Mind are back again with their second studio album ‘Faulty At Source’.

Since their conception in 2017, the band have developed a wild form of experimental rock using balkan rhythms mixed with heavy psychedelic post-punk, wonky riffs and moments of haunting grace. All of this is delivered with a subversive approach to songwriting at its heart; and this album is no different.

(Please note this is an outdoor event, under our new socially distanced stretch tent venue. This show has a limited capacity and all tables are sold in advance. Wrap up warm and enjoy)

Our first Thursday limited session, book your table*

Kutamba

Mixing their love for Zimbabwean music in through a western fusion to provide a fresh take on some of the world's most driving and rich music. Using an ear for detail to capture the wild sound and infectious dance riddim vibes of the Shona language, Kutamba will be taking to the stage to share their joyful high energy performance.

After missing out on a selection of great festival bookings around the country this summer Kutamba are very excited to perform their only 2020 show of the Autumn for the Trinity Center.

From the fiery rhythms of Thomas Mapfumo and the bound boys to the feminist soul clenching melodies of chiwoniso, right through to the warm sound and catchy ear worms of Oliver Mtukudzi, Kutamba play the sounds of Zimbabwe with their own touch.

True Strays

True Strays make sounds for an America that didn’t quite exist. Influenced by the blues of Willie Dixon, the calls for justice of Bob Dylan and Neil Young, the dirt of QOTSA and the sonic brilliance of Alabama Shakes. Not just brainless rockers, the music is concerned with zero hour contracts, the destruction of the National Health Service, climate chaos and the mental health epidemic. True Strays are using the rights and wrongs of the past to paint a brighter hope filled future. For Joe and James, writing songs and creating a sound that is believable, real and authentic is at the heart of what they do. Their shows, always melting barriers between audience and band, end in a riotous crowd singing hoedown.

True Strays have been the soundtrack for late night lock ins, pool party break ins, festival headline mayhem, Sofar Sessions, caleidhs, crowd surfing and Extinction Rebellion occupations.

“Brilliant Rootsy Vibes!” – BBC Bristol

“Rising stars of the UK Americana scene” – The List

Batu

Timedance owner Batu has carved out a unique sound for himself since his debut in 2013. Subsequent 12″s on a number of labels including XL Recordings, Hessle Audio and his own Timedance imprint have found him grounded in British bassbin principles. His style however is relentlessly forward thinking, and pushing his sound in adventurous, inventive ways that have become something of a signature aesthetic.

Batu and his tight-knit Timedance label continue to push the boundaries, putting Bristol firmly at the center of global bass-minded music culture. His efforts have given him a number of critically acclaimed years, including a series of standout EPs, remixes for Sampha and R&S Records, and establishing Timedance as one of the most vital proponents of fresh UK dance music.

His DJing is also increasingly respected worldwide. A standout set at Dekmantel’s Selectors festival earned him a place in The Guardian’s ‘Best Mixes of 2018’ list, and Mixmag ranked him as one of their top 20 DJs in 2017. Recent times have seen him tour Asia, America and play a series of the best festivals in Europe (a list including; Field Day, Freerotation, Dimensions, Unsound, Dekmantel and many more

Cando

Cando is a Bristol duo made up of Dj/Producer Chad Leotaud along with his production partner Owen Roberts.

The pair entered the scene in 2019 with their debut release "Bleak/Sundown" for Heavy-weight Bristol techno label Livity Sound. Following this, they have appeared on a slew of remixes and compilations for the likes of Lava Lava, Le Chatroom & Pressure Dome. 

As a Duo, Cando's sound can be best described as a UK Funky -influenced percussive pressure incorporating surging bass along with a blend of tribal Afro-tech drums and blissful synthesizer motifs.

This is a formula that is showcased by the DJ of the duo (Chad) who incorporates these styles into his sets.
