Who Are Keyside?

Emerging from Liverpool’s vibrant indie scene, Keyside have quickly been gaining notice for their distinctive blend of jangly guitar pop, infectious melodies, and lyrical depth. Signed to Modern Sky UK — the same label behind Jamie Webster and Miles Kane — they bring more than just nostalgic sound; their songs often carry a social conscience that adds gravitas to their bright hooks.

Influenced by bands like The La’s, The Smiths, and The Police, Keyside filter these retro inspirations through a modern and unapologetically Scouse lens. Fans of melodic indie/alternative rock with a sense of place will feel right at home.

What to Expect on 1 December at The Louisiana in Bristol

Venue & atmosphere: The Louisiana is a well-loved Bristol venue, known for its intimate atmosphere and dedication to live music. It should provide a great setting for Keyside’s energetic performance.

Set & style: Expect a mix of their newer material and possibly tracks from earlier in their catalogue, delivered with jangly guitars, driving rhythms, and a vocal presence from frontman Dan Parker that balances both charm and emotional depth.

Support & crowd: Details of any support acts haven’t been widely publicised yet. As for the crowd, Keyside’s fan base is growing fast — many will be returning to catch them live after hearing their tracks on BBC Radio 1, 6 Music, and other stations, as well as through word-of-mouth.

Why This Gig Matters

Keyside are at a point in their trajectory where a show like this feels like more than just another date on a tour — it’s a chance to consolidate their reputation. Bristol has always been a strong stop for bands of this ilk: the city’s live-music fans tend to be passionate, engaged, and appreciative of both musicality and authenticity. If Keyside deliver what they’ve shown elsewhere — punchy performance, memorable hooks, lyrical sincerity — this could be one of the must-see indie shows of the autumn.
