SUMMARY:Mercury Rev + Sean O'Hagan
DESCRIPTION:We can scarcely believe it ourselves but Mercury Rev will be playing Esquires on Thursday the 14th August 2025 as part of our 35th anniversary celebrations!\n\n\n\nOne of the most influential and pioneering American bands of the past 30 years\, since forming in 1989\, Mercury Rev have released a succession of brilliantly innovative albums from the chaos of 1991 ‘Yerself is Steam’ to the shimmering psychedelia of 2024’s ‘Born Horses’. However\, Mercury Rev are arguably best known for their 1998 masterpiece ‘Deserter Songs’. A record of beautifully orchestrated chamber pop which included the singles ‘Holes’\, ‘Goddess on a Hiway’ and ‘Opus 40’\, it was named album of the year in the NME and has subsequently gone on to be widely recognised as one of greatest releases of all time by the likes of Pitchfork and Uncut Magazine.\n\n\nStill featuring founding members Jonathan Donahue and Sean ‘Grasshopper’ Mackowiak\, they’ve collaborated with The Chemical Brothers and headlined the main stages at festivals such as Green Man and Primavera Sound. As such we are so excited that they’ve agreed to appear in Bedford for the very first time for a gig that we never dreamt would happen.\n\n\n\nTickets are on sale this Friday at 10am\, limited to 4 per person online from Seetickets. We have put 50 physical tickets into Slide Record Shop for local pick up – set those alarms…

SUMMARY:alphabet + The Vandervalls + Tie-Break
DESCRIPTION:alphabet + The Vandervalls + Tie-Break \nFriday 1st August – Bedford Esquires \nLondon-based alternative band alphabet are quickly making a name for themselves with their dynamic fusion of post-punk grit and ethereal soundscapes. Formed by four close friends – Lena\, Milo\, Tom\, and George – the group’s roots trace back to Brighton\, where they first crossed paths while playing in different bands. When life led them all to leave Brighton around the same time\, they reconnected in London\, and alphabet was born. \nDrawing inspiration from The Cure\, Slowdive\, and Sonic Youth\, their sound is a mix of melodic yet abrasive guitars\, meteoric drumming\, and a balance of punchy and atmospheric vocals. Their music walks the line between urgency and dreamlike serenity\,turning raw emotion into something hypnotic and powerful.Since playing their first show in late 2023\, alphabet has been making waves in the UK’s alternative scene. They’ve supported acts like Our Girl\, Humour\, Ulrika Spacek\, Traams and Splint\, earning respect from the likes of Fontaines D.C. and Shame. \nWith over 50\,000 plays on their first two self-released tracks and a sold out debut headline show\, their rise has been impossible to ignore.Their debut single\, “Artificial Light\,” encapsulates the raw energy and connection that define their music\, lyrically exploring themes of anxiety\, self-doubt\, and escapism. “We really wanted the song to capture the energy of our live shows whilst also demonstrating both the nuanced and direct approach we take to songwriting”Now\, with their latest and most emotionally charged release\, “All The Words\,” alphabet refines their signature balance of tension and tranquility. The song’s restless meditation on resilience is delivered through a chorus that’s both defiant and wistful:“All the words you used to say\, they feel so weak I keep spinning.”“All The Words was the first song we finished as a band where we felt we’d developed a sound. Lyrically it is about carrying on in the face of adversity\, despite things feeling too much” \nTheir reputation as one of London’s most compelling new acts was further solidified when Crows invited them to headline a 2025 showcase of their favourite emerging bands. With a growing fanbase and a sound that continues to evolve\, alphabet is proving that their momentum is only building.“We’re all close friends with long term ambitions for alphabet .We hope our music can reach as many people as possible\, whether that be through playing shows or releasing new music”. \nTickets online from SEE\, physicals from Slide and Esquires

SUMMARY:BODEGA + Radio Free Alice
DESCRIPTION:BODEGA + Radio Free Alice  \n7:30pm Sat 26th July\, Bedford Esquires \nSometimes you have to move backwards to move forwards. Just ask punk cultural commentators BODEGA\, whose new album sees them carve a new future from fuzz-soaked\, consumerism-skewering shards of their past. “It’s something we’ve been wanting to do for years\,” guitarist and vocalist Ben Hozie explains of Our Brand Could Be Yr Life – a collection of catchy indie-rock ruminations on the slow-creep of corporate-think into youth culture\, first written eight years ago. Then known as BODEGA BAY\, the Brooklyn group recorded those songs as a paradoxical double album. “It was super meticulous but aggressively lo-fi at the same time\,” Hozie laughs\, recalling thirty three tracks they “treated like a lush Brian Wilson epic but recorded through a scrappy MacBook mic.” Pretty much no one heard the ensuing self-released album outside of Bushwick\, he insists. But for Hozie and vocalist Nikki Belfiglio – BODEGA’s other driving force – it retained a special place in their hearts\, as more than just music. “It was a statement\,” the guitarist beams. “Where the philosophy we loved and music we loved began to combine into one package\,” Belfiglio adds. \nNow\, BODEGA – completed by lead guitarist Dan Ryan\, bassist Adam See and drummer Adam Shumski – have reinterpreted Our Brand Could Be Yr Life for RIGHT NOW. “We thought of it like a director remaking one of their old films\, like when Hitchcock remade the Man Who Knew Too Much\, or when Yasujirō Ozu re-did The Story of Floating Weeds\,” says Hozie\, who it’s never a surprise to hear talking about music through a cinematic lens. After all\, this is a creative who\, in addition to his work in BODEGA\, moonlights as a celebrated indie filmmaker (PVT Chat\, his 2020 drama about online sex work\, won rave reviews). “When you’re older and better at your craft\, you can revisit the same material but do different things with it.” \nTickets from seetickets.com\, Slide and Esquires.

SUMMARY:Velvetine + Mary + Speakeasy
DESCRIPTION:Velvetine are an alternative rock band. Through shifting around of rooms and short sublets in London the band formed towards the end of the pandemic through their shared interests in poetry\, film\, visual art and bonded over artists such as Nick Cave\, Slowdive and David Lynch.   \nThe band’s lineup settled with Mia Scarlet (vocals)\, Ross Fernyhough (guitar)\, Josh Rowell (bass) and Nate Wicks (drums) after a few changes\, though the band’s creative approach and unmistakable vision endured.   \nMusically\, they blend influences of post-punk\, shoegaze\, goth art-rock and the soundscapes of the cinema they love. Their live shows continue to entice audiences\, stirring up a ‘magnetic’ and ‘bewitching’ atmosphere through their immense wall of sound. Their songwriting has been compared to that Siouxsie and The Banshees\, Mazzy Star and Sonic Youth.   \n‘Miss Together’\, their newest single about isolation and stretching the elements of fear\, risk and anger as far as they can go in conjunction with the longing for deeply desired freedom\, which inevitably clashes with the obsession of having control.  \nThe song was released on February 17th as part of their debut EP that will be released later this year. The EP explores themes of nostalgia\, nightmares and frustration with the modern world.  \nTickets online from SEE and physicals from Slide and Esquires
