Personal Trainer + Pom Poko + The Itch

Personal Trainer Pom Poko Brighton

Personal Trainer and Pom Poko play a co-headline show in Brighton at Concorde 2 on Friday 26th April 2024! Tickets are running low, get yours from Concorde 2

Melting Vinyl and Love Thy Neighbour are overjoyed to bring two of our favourite bands on one amazing bill, what a show this will be!

Dutch septet Personal Trainer churn out songs that sound like all your favorite indie rock luminaries jam-packed into big-beaming pop psalms. One of the band’s early career highlights was a 24-hour (!) performance at Amsterdam’s legendary pop temple Paradiso. After releasing their debut EP Gazebo on Holm Front in 2021, the band released their first full-length LP Big Love Blanket. Recorded and produced in the span of several studio sessions with co-producer Casper van der Lans, the album brings a fresh pop sensibility and adventurous production values to songs that have been well-honed on the stage. https://www.personaltrainertheband.com

“If you have a vacancy for Favourite New Band, Pom Poko would like to apply for the role,” tweeted Tim Burgess in April, as Norway’s finest punk-pop anti-conformists revisited their joyous debut album, Birthday, for one of Tim’s mood-lifting Twitter listening parties. Between the quartet’s sweet melodies, galvanic punky ructions and wild-at-art-rock eruptions, 2021’s Cheater is the sound of a band celebrating the binding extremes that make them so uniquely qualified to thrill: and, like Tim’s listening party, to fulfil any need you might have for a pick-you-up. https://www.pompoko.no

Plus:

The Itch: “Shrouded in mystery, The Itch are a brand new group with infectious, dancefloor-ready songs, featuring a rotating cast of live members from the underground Indie scene.”
