Bristol band LICE to launch single at The Louisiana
Posted on: 25 Apr 2017The band are staging a DIY show on the 1st May at The Louisiana on the in Bristol to coincide with the release of their new single ‘The Human Parasite’, which has received airtime on Radio 1 and Beats1.
Public service announcement: there has been an outbreak of LICE.
The local four-piece formed a year ago at the University of Bristol, and have gone on to quickly accrue a sizeable reputation within the city’s music scene. And, with support slots for the likes of IDLES and Spectres, they have begun to reach a wider national audience.
The release of their next single, ‘The Human Parasite’, is the natural next step on their upward trajectory: with frontman Alastair Shuttleworth sounding more vital than previously heard over the top of the sordid march played out by Silas, Gareth and Bruce. Representing a subtle maturing of the swampy post-punk they peddle, the single has raised eyebrows and garnered radio play on both Radio 1 and Beats1. Listen below.
To celebrate its release, LICE are putting on a show at The Louisiana on the 1st May, a venue which they are very familiar with. Support will be provided by fellow Bristol-based upstarts Jesuits and Scalping.
Tickets are £3.50 and available from Dice. For more information on the event, visit its Facebook page.
