Emo/Indie-gaze. Is that a thing? It is now!

London based indie/alt-rock band Weekday Social (now also available on weekends!)

Strawgirl formed in 2022, when members Chris Lawrence (guitar) Sam Burgess (guitar), Phil Robinson (bass), Edie Fairservice (lead vocals, keys) and Karina McMahon (drums) met and bonded over their shared nostalgia for the 1990s and the bands they grew up listening to.
 
Based in south east London, the five-piece make music inspired by the era they love, offering a blend of indie, grunge and noise rock. While they list PJ Harvey, Smashing Pumpkins and My Bloody Valentine as just a few of the artists they admire, they are individually influenced by a wide range of genres spanning different decades, prompting their eclectic sound.

Confidently strolling a line between indie rock and Bowie-glam, whisked together with the charm of
Madness and Dexy’s Midnight Runners, A.R.T have been taking the London music scene by storm with their incredible live shows that’ll even get the shy guy at the back of the room chanting.

Formed in 2018, A.R.T focus on bringing a new unique energy to the stage. Controlling
crowds with bold charismatic frontmanship and getting even the most guilty of feet dancing with sexy sax riffs and funky bass lines.
The members of the band that was quoted “Bowie meets The Killers” by KISS FM include frontman Alfie Clayton(aka A.R.T), saxophonist Jonty Proudfoot (aka Blanket Jackson), bassist Tiarnan Mathews (aka 10” Tiarnan), lead guitarist
Bradley Allen (aka General Sweet tooth), drummer Scott Gordon (aka Dijon Mustard) & rhythm guitarist TomStrange (aka Daddy Strange).

Inspired by bands such as the Rolling Stones, Blues Brothers, Sticky Fingers, and the funky routes of The B52’s and Madness, A.R.T aim to find new ways to approach the Indie/ Alternative Rock genre but also bring back the energetic passion modern music has lost in recent years.
