Really very cool, definitely need to listen to more of this band. I can easily see these artists blowing the roof off the house at live events' New killer bands in London // Cosmic Carnage. ‘A Sweet Niche are the ones to watch. They've evolved from a trio into a much bigger band, have some serious compositional skills and fuse punk, jazz and rock in ways I've not quite heard done before ... I advise everyone to make time to see them.’ Future Performances Nov 16th 2019 Electrowerkz, London |
