NIGHT - 15 Years of Night School Records

This event will take place in EartH Theatre.

Night School Records and EartH Presents: NIGHT... 15 Years Of Night School Records

One night only, the London leg of Night School's 15th year celebrations welcomes 6 luminaries from the underground. We're SO HAPPY to be back in the capital, where the label first started, to continue our celebrations from Glasgow's Forever Is A Long Time festival.

MOLLY NILSSON needs no introduction. A guiding light for underground pop music, Molly Nilsson is a bona fide force of nature now into the 3rd decade of her career. Beginning with hand-burnt CDrs in Berlin in 2008 to reaching millions of souls through the years, Nilsson's modus operandi has never changed. A radical, politicaly engaged songwriter who can write for the heart as well as the revolution, her live performances are celebratory, minimal masterclasses in charisma and togetherness.

THE SPACE LADY's earthly mission - to bring about world peace - always feels achievable during her performances, such is the magic she brings. First beaming down to earth in the early 80s, The Space Lady's legend transcended the obscurist crannies of the internet following the release of The Space Lady's Greatest Hits, in 2013. The Space Lady's reinterpretations of 60s and 70s classics, a kind of alchemy in which she transmutes machismo into a cosmic spirituality, might have created the legend but it's her blissed out originals that echo out through the ages. A Space Lady performance is like nothing else you'll see.

YU CHING is a Taiwanese artist who began recording solo music whilst living in Berlin. A deeply evocative blend of melting, shoegaze balladry and yearning drones, her music conjures up heat haze on horizons, dry ice on summer nights, wistful dreams of impossible loves. Yu Ching will be performing from her Night School album The Crystal Hum, plus new material yet to be released. This is her London debut.

WHAIT are a new duo comprising musicians Wendy Eisenberg and more eaze. Separately, they have been amassing individual catalogues that weave dovetailing narratives in the experimental song underground. Both artists work across disciplines ranging from abstract, air-y ambience to baroque songsmithery to drone rock. Together they bring all these elements into a new form as Whait, with moments of vulnerability and melody swimming in space and exploration. This is their London debut.

MARYJANE DUNPHE has blazed a path through underground music since her first group VEXX redefined hardcore's parameters in the 2010s. A mercurial presence with ecstatic, electric stage performances, her music has gone through several mutations in Pinocchio, The Country Liners and on Night School, CC DUST's synth pop-punk melange. Since then, with her debut album Stage Of Love, she continues this trajectory into anthemic, pulsing pop music. Her performances are mini plays that tear through the emotional spectrum.

Tristwch Y Fenywod is a band of three queer women who play avant garde Gothic rock using folk, rock, and digital instruments, with lyrics sung entirely in the Welsh language (Cymraeg). Sapphic love and desire, existential darkness, political and environmental anguish/celebration, psychogeographic romance, pagan mysticism, imaginal explorations of Celtic history and myth, psychedelia, and myriad other variations of reverie are conjured through the music of Tristwch Y Fenywod.
