Blue Orchids/Flux Capacitors/Short Stories perform at Crofters Rights in Bristol
Postpunk legend Martin Bramah returns to Bristol with new songs from the forthcoming Blue Orchids album - titled ‘Righteous Harmony Fist’. ‘Righteous Harmony Fist’ is the second album from the Blue Orchids in three years and takes them in a more melodic direction while retaining the renowned intensity of Bramah’s live performances. The band includes drummer Howard Jones (Last Harbour/Calvin Party) keyboards John Paul Moran (The Monochrome Set/Rapid Pig) and Vince Hunt (A Witness/Inca Babies) on bass. The show is the latest in a series of dates this year as Bramah blends songs from the new album – ‘In the Acid Garden’, ‘Beached’ and ‘The Art of Falling’ to a back catalogue of classics.

The Flux Capacitors are a three piece vegan rock band from Bristol. Lead guitarist Hazel Winter has headlined Reading Festival, toured Europe, and played the Glastonbury pyramid stage during her time with 80s Art Rock group The Blue Aeroplanes. These are moments she tries to hang on and hug to herself while pushing an amp through the streets of Berlin in a supermarket shopping trolley at bastard o clock in order to play a gig with a couple of 20 year old lads who have basically got her into the band because she’s Got A Car.
The Short Stories are a band from Somerset, UK, buzzing like bees through a sequestered field of punk, post-punk, and indie flowers, searching for the still-floating pollen of the Velvet Underground. Founded in 2007, the current two-piece line-up looks fixedly forward, presenting new songs in an open, semi-acoustic approach that tries to make conversation rather than performance out of the music.
