TUESDAY 18th JULY
King Princess at KOKO – POP
Recommended by: Nila
American singer/songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist King Princess delivers her soulful vocals over warm, atmospheric synth production inspired by influences like Perfume Genius, Nick Cave, Beyoncé, and Dolly Parton. Some of her early songs featured a more bluesy rock tone, one that she would polish on her 2018 breakthrough, “1950.” The queer love anthem received cosigns from the likes of Harry Styles and Halsey and was her first release for Mark Ronson’s Zelig Records label.

The Dickies at the Underworld – Punk Rock
Recommended by: NilaÂ
The Dickies are an American punk rock band formed in the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, in 1977. One of the longest tenured punk rock bands, they have been in continuous existence for over 40 years. They have consistently balanced catchy melodies, harmony vocals, and pop song structures, with a speedy punk guitar attack. This musical approach is paired with a humorous style and has been labelled “pop-punk” or “bubble-gum punk”. The band have sometimes been referred to as “the clown princes of punk”.
