Boiler Room Bristol: Keep Bristol Weird screening

08 Aug 2019, 20:00 - 00:00 BST

Join us this Thursday for an exclusive advance screening of 'Keep Bristol Weird,' Boiler Room’s new documentary in partnership with the British Council.

It's a chance for Bristol locals to see the film ahead of the full online release later this month & we've also got DJ sets on the night from some proper local heroes. Boofy + Hi5Ghost, Vaneesa Maria & Proverb from Mix Nights crew & an almighty B2B feat. Bad Tracking, Robin Giant Swan and Jackson Veil Panther.

'Keep Bristol Weird' spotlights an independent creative community in the West Country enclave, responsible for some of the most exciting music coming out of the UK right now. The multivoiced story is told by local artists including Giant Swan, Batu, Hodge, Bruce, Young Echo, Ossia, Danielle, Mix Nights, Jabu, Sunun, Bad Tracking, E B U, Boofy & Hi5Ghost, Franco Franco & Kinlaw, and Chris Farrell.

With their sounds, this group of artists, DJs, and performers is fighting against algorithms, influencer culture and the mainstream-ification of electronic music. As music culture shifts ever more online, Bristol’s underground scene try to keeps things IRL, grassroots and experimental; their boundless creative energy a reaction to club closures in the city.
