Ryan's Gig Guide - April 2019

Saturday 27th April Sunflower Lounge, Birmingham  Check her out in our Spotify playlist www.ryansgigguide.com/audio  + SAER + THE UPTONE GIRLS Indian Queens make music for people of the night. For those who live in a dream like state or those who use the dark to carry out their nefari- ous habits. The only light in Indian Queens world comes from a flickering street lamp or the dull glow of a mobile phone. It’s the music of Dickens East End before the gentrification. Indian Queens thrive when they are on stage. Their dark, dreamy and hypnotic sounds echo Portishead and Massive Attack mixed with the modern edge and swagger ofWarpaint and Radiohead. Since Formation in late 2016, the band have been picking up high profile fans such as Simon Raymonde (Cocteau Twins, Bella Union) Theresa Wayman (Warpaint) and Robert Smith (The Cure), who invited the band to play the prestig- ious Meltdown festival this year along side artists such as My Bloody Valentine, Nine Inch Nailsand The Libertines. In London Indian Queens have a solid following, selling out headline shows at Sebright Arms and St Pancras Old Church in quick succession. This year they were hand picked to sup- port artists such as TT /Theresa Wayman, (Warpaint), Amber Arcades, We are Sci- entists, Ash and Broncho. Indian Queens were also invited to play a special show- case at House ofVans which lead to them playing their own stage at this year’s Bes- tival. They also included their current tracks on their in-store playlists across Europe. Other Festival Appearances include Camp Bestival, Boardmasters, Meltdown, Leefest, EVOL and others.  www.indian-queens.com www.ryansgigguide.com rgg Apr 2019 35
