Event News : Paterson Takeover

Mike Paterson is set to take over our Instagram and Facebook this Saturday 18th April at 8pm for a live stream.

Facebook :https://www.facebook.com/indiebuddie/

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/indie_buddie/

Mike Paterson takes a unique approach to song writing. Formerly the lead singer of rock group Travis Oaks, Mike now likes to craft intricate, vocal driven melodies, full of nostalgia and insight. He writes, records, and produces his own work. Previously releasing work as Mike Paterson, he has simplified his moniker to just Paterson.

Paterson’s sound is truly unique. He uses darkened reverb layered soundscapes which swirl between jangly guitar lines to create an echoed dream-like distortion with hints of psychedelia. This live stream is going to be an enjoyable experience for sure.

You can stream ‘Stuck Around’ below to get a taste of Paterson’s style

Frontman of Southend’s finest Asylums, Luke Branch will play songs from the albums ‘Killer Brain Waves’ (2016) Alien Human Emotions (2018) and the forthcoming third album due this Summer.

It’s been a huge 18 months for Asylums.  As recent recipients of the prestigious and hard-to-score PRS Momentum Fund, their next leap forward seems gilded, greased, and good-to-go. Current single ‘Catalogue Kids’ finding a warm home at BBC 6 Music, Radio X and Kerrang! Radio, as well as playlist adds at Deezer and Spotify and nods from The Independent, Kerrang! and Louder Sound has only increased expectation and excitement for album number 3.

These guys have a blistering fuzz filled sound brimming with attitude and gusto and whether its acoustic or not their songs carry themselves with power and timeless charm. I for one can’t wait to see Luke whack out these bangers.

As a taster you can stream the band’s recent single’ Catalogue Kids’ below
