Goodbye, Hy-Brasil: the final acts to perform at the closing Bristol music venue

Goodbye, Hy-Brasil: the final acts to perform at the closing Bristol music venue

Posted on: 12 Sep 2019

Another blow for the Bristol music scene.

 

Earlier this summer, Hy-Brasil Music Club announced that it would close its doors for the final time in October 2019. 

 

What was formally known as Start the Bus – a gig spot championing DIY sound from across the U.K. – Hy-Brasil launched towards the end of 2016.

Though Hy-Brasil put a stronger emphasis on food than its predecessor, the venue continued to serve Bristol’s music scene with a diverse gig schedule. From local DIY promoters to late-night DJ sets; it’s with a heavy heart we say goodbye to Baldwin Street venue. 

 

The venue’s final gig is on Saturday 28 September 2019. And in true Start the Bus style, this one is free entry. Here’s a rundown of what to expect.

 

Headlining the bill is THUMPER: an upcoming rock-pop outfit from Ireland.

At the top of the Irish Times’ recent article, ‘the bands and singers to watch for’ THUMPER have been steadily climbing the ranks with their ‘frenzied’ live shows. Let’s see what they bring to ‘Brasil.

 

Warming up for THUMPER will be grunge-fuzz locals No Violet before they set off on their U.K. tour.

 

Before No Violet? Catch the self-proclaimed illegitimate lovechild of Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins and The Brian Jonestown Massacre, INDIGOS and fellow Bristol alt-rock band BLACK FLIES. 


Get down to bid your goodbyes to another beloved Bristol music venue. Hy-Brasil Music Club is located: 7-9 Baldwin St, Bristol BS1 1RU.
