SOFTER STILL (onstage 9.15pm) Softer Still are a sparkly indie band from Shepperton, Surrey. They capture the modern dream-pop sound of the likes of Wild Nothing and Beach House combined with the classic indie sounds of The Cure and The Railway Children. The band are essentially a DIY project but manage to capture perfect blissful production from their own studio, located in a garage. ‘Wishing Well’ is their suitably wistful new single. www.facebook.com/softerstillband
GIANT PARTY (onstage 8.30pm) played their first ever live show in December ’16, so these newbies are as new as they come. Even so, DIY have still had time to opine: “Building from comparisons with Wild Beasts and Twin Shadow, Giant Party bring stately vocals and bags of style…” Slinkily '80s-tastic single 'Ambulances' is out now on Label Fandango. www.facebook.com/giantpartyband
LERICHE (onstage 7.45pm) is from Newfoundland, on the eastern tip of Canada. He releases his ‘Under Covers’ single on fierce panda on May 12th, and a bruised peach of understated emoting and fragrant melodies it is, too. www.facebook.com/lerichemusic
