Other Side Shoegaze & Dream Pop Weekender Returns To London

A surfeit of psychedelia hits Shoreditch in early November

The annual Otherside Shoegaze & Dream Pop Weekender hits London in early November for its sixth instalment. 

Kicking off on Friday evening and taking place all of Saturday on the 6th and 7th November at The Strongroom, Shoreditch, the globe-trotting line up brings together bands from Europe, Scandinavia and the United States. Available as day tickets or as a weekend pass, see below for links and full line up. 

A double hit of French groups cap the bill on Friday.  Based in Grenoble, Pills For Tomorrow serve up a shadowy variant of shoegaze, winning favourable comparisons to Joy Division and The Black Angels.  Described as “The best shoegaze band in France” by one outlet, headliners Healees have become firm favourites on the this side of the Channel, with this their fifth tour of the UK.  Fellow countrymen

On Saturday, the UKs very own Lemondaze, who have won praise from luminries Miki Berenyi (Lush) and Andy Bell (Ride) feature.  Purveryors of love songs from another galaxy, Pennsylvanian dream pop merchants Cigarettes For Breakfast are set to show London how things are done Stateside.  Hailing from the Netherlands, Saturday headliners Resplandor have shared stages with legends including The Cure and The Jesus And Mary Chain.  Their recent albums Tristeza and Pleamar, have the incredible provenance of being produced by Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins) and mastered by Simon Scott (Slowdive).

Live music runs until 23:00 on both nights, backed by visuals from Dwavehead (DE).  DJ Yogi and DJ Son of Hal (Chris Marron) supply the sounds for the afterparties which both run until 2am.
