GIG LISTINGS

Known for their progressive, genre-bending brand of jazz, St. Barbe are set to release their second EP Shoal in 2026, featuring a collaboration with Mercury-shortlisted artist corto.alto.

Formed in 2021, the band debuted with Shapeless, earning support from Spotify editorial playlists and a feature in Guitar Magazine. They have twice sold out Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, opened for Mike Stern at the Jazz Café, and supported math-rock outfit Cobota. In 2025, singles Tierra and Pinch received national radio support from Jazz FM, BBC Radio 3 and BBC Radio 6 Music, alongside editorial playlisting on Spotify and Apple Music.

With over half a million streams to date, St. Barbe have built a following around an impossible-to-pin-down sound drawing equally from jazz, post-rock and metal.

Hailing from Lyon, France, Ni are one of the most exciting experimental bands around at the moment. Taking influence from prog rock, jazz, math-rock, post-hardcore and psych, their music transcends boundaries with it's wild experimentation, complex time signatures and virtuosic musicianship.

FFO: Don Caballero, The Dillinger Escape Plan, King Crimson

"Math Rock? Noise? Metal? Jazz? On these 10 new tracks, Ni delights more than ever in blurring the lines and confusing their audience, remaining true to their desire to go further in experimentation." - It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine

In just a few years, this French experimental / post-rock band has established itself as a key figure on the French post-rock scene, a style the band has absorbed and reshaped through its relentless innovation.

After a standout session at Seattle’s KEXP studios, the French quartet unveiled The Age of Ephemerality in 2025, released via Pelagic Records — an album they will defend on stage in London this May.

FFO: Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Hans Zimmer, MONO.

"The Age of Ephemerality is a transportative experience throughout and although it may be discomforting, the journey is one worth taking multiple times." (Noizze)

"BRUIT ≤ remain as steadfast and pragmatic when it comes to their socio-politically informed post-rock. The Age Of Ephemerality is horror conveyed through great beauty. (Everything is Noise)
