Get In Her Ears Live @ Shacklewell Arms w/ Straight Girl, 07.07.2023

This month, we were back at The Shacklewell Arms for another night of immense live music! Huge thanks to our headliner Straight Girl, as well as ALT BLK ERA and The Dead Zoo for being amazing! Thanks too to total legend Sofia on sound, and to everyone who came down to support the bands, dance the night away in queer joy, and helped us to raise £50 for London Trans Pride!

The Dead Zoo kick things off with their gritty, immersive allure…

Next up, utterly immense sister duo ALT BLK ERA blew us away with their fiercely unique raging power…

Finally, it was an honour to have Leeds-based artist Straight Girl headline the night for us. With their immense swirling energy and magnetic tongue-in-cheek charisma, they spread all the fizzing queer joy we could ever desire. Immersing themselves within the crowd (quite literally at times!) an exuberant euphoria filled the room, and we were struck by what a truly unique, and massively fun experience Straight Girl was able to create.


Massive thanks to all the incredible artists who played for us – it truly was a dream of a night, filled with so much energising queer joy!

We’re taking a break from hosting gigs in August, but we will return to The Shacklewell Arms on 8th September with a super exciting line-up. Welsh headliners Chroma (who have been announced as supporting Foo Fighters next year!) alongside Leeds grunge-poppers Wormboys and new Brighton band UrgentSea. Nab yourtickets here!

Get In Her Ears Live @ Shacklewell Arms w/ Me Rex, 10.02.2023

For our first gig of 2023, we were lucky enough to host a beautiful sold out night at The Shacklewell Arms, filled with the best music, best people and best vibes. Huge massive thanks to headliners Me Rex, as well as Dream Phone and Jen Denitto for being amazing! Thanks too to Sofia on sound, and to everyone who came down to support the bands, dance the night away, and help us raise £200 for vital organisation, Gendered Intelligence.

See below for some fantastic photos of the night, courtesy of our photographer Jon Mo…

Kicking off the night, London DIY legend Jen Denitto and her band deliver a career-spanning range of scuzzy indie-pop offerings. Covering themes from narcissists to the power of friendship, it’s a wonderfully uplifting set, oozing a unifying sense of joy throughout the crowd.

Next up, Oxford duo Dream Phone (aka my new favourite band) take to the stage. An utterly unique experience, their set offers voice augmentation and synth-driven glitch-pop soundscapes, all fuelled by Jen and Hannah’s sparkling charisma and vibrant energy. With the set lasting just under 20 minutes, every single second is a truly entertaining spectacle (a highlight being a swirling rendition of Papa Roach’s ‘Last Resort’), and I cannot wait to see and hear more from this exciting duo.

Headliners Me Rex take to the stage amidst a sea of adoring fans, treating them to 45 blissful minutes of indie-pop goodness. Oozing a swirling emotion alongside jangling melodies and luscious harmonies, each and every song flows with the band’s stirring lyricism, glistening musicality and impassioned energy; and I can’t help but lose myself in the rich, soothing catharsis that ripples throughout. Having been a mega fan of Me Rex for a few years now, it really is an honour to have them play for us – an experience that exceeded all expectations.

Huge thanks again to the three INCREDIBLE bands who played for us on Friday – what a dream of a night! Next up, we’re at Sebright Arms on 31st March for Gold Baby’s single launch, with support from The Other Ones and Argonaut – nab tickets here!
