This Is The Kit + support @ Heeley Institute on Sunday 30th December (£8/£6)
This Is The Kit is a Bristol and Paris based band formed by Kate Stables. In 2006 Rob Da Bank’s record label Sunday Best included their track Two Wooden Spoons in their Folk Off compilation alongside artists including Animal Collective, Tunng and Vashti Bunyan. The band’s inclusion in the compilation received high praise from Drowned in Sound who said “its personal touch is largely what makes This Is The Kit the British highlight, not to mention that of the compilation as a whole”.
Their most recent album, Wriggle Out The Restless was released in 2010. The album was gestated over a long period and drew on This Is The Kit’s many musical friends including Rozi Plain, Jim Barr (bass player from Portishead), Francois and the Atlas Mountains and The Liftmen. They are increasingly in demand at festivals on both sides of the Atlantic and make beautiful, hypnotic music that defies genre.
This intimate show is part of “The Big Boulder Rolls On”, a series of high quality performances in the developing creative spaces being brought to life by Heeley Development Trust.
Tickets £8/£6 on the door. There is a bar!
