HUTCH + TRIP WESTERNS

Hutch

The colourful, kaleidoscopic sounds of Brighton jangle-psych band Hutch are suffused with whimsy and a desire to break free from the mundane. Setting their stall on celebrating the wonders of the natural world and their own giddying adventures within it, snails, rainbows, wintry lakes and radiator shops rank high among the band's subject matters of choice.

Formed by Jack Pritchard, Dan Shepherd, Charlie Bogg, Owen Bullock - with Eva Lunny guesting on Harp and Synth for studio recordings - Hutch have been gigging prodigiously since their live debut in 2021, regularly selling out venues in their native Brighton. Currently in the midst of a 13 date EU/UK tour with Gitkin, the band have recently earned support slots with legendary psych bands Love and Os Mutantes, in addition to shows with Yín Yín, Do Nothing, Oracle Sisters, Trudy and the Romance, Surprise Chef and Personal Trainer.

Performing at this year's The Great Escape, last summer saw them reach the longlist for Glastonbury's Emerging Talent Competition and hit the stages of Dot to Dot, Victorious and 2000 Trees festivals. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Trip Westerns

Formed in the clearing mist of 2021, Trip Westerns are a 5 piece rock n roll outfit, based in Brighton with “their roots comfortably buried in the soil of mid-20th century rock and R&B, intertwined with lashings of surf and psychedelia - reveling in the twangy notes of spaghetti western soundtracks (see Ennio Morricone).” - Otis Hayes.

The band have quickly built a reputation across Brighton’s scene as one of the city’s most vivid and dizzying live acts in their brief existence, twisting the town’s famous narrow cobbled streets into a Sergio Leone desert backdrop, alongside nods to sun-soaked 60’s R&B and 21st century fuzz-drenched garage rock.

Through their maniacal live set the quintet have garnered a faithful following around the UK and Europe with multiple sell out shows under their leather tooled belts as well as touring with The Nude Party on their E.U. tour and slots supporting bands such as Frankie and the Witch Fingers and Night Beats.
