Cheekface + Emperor X + Playboy Manbaby | Brighton
Cheekface Brighton
Cheekface live in Brighton at CHALK on 24th November! Get tickets above, or from SeeTickets.
America’s local band (self proclaimed), Cheekface are influenced by the great American talk-singers like Lou Reed, Jonathan Richman and Stephen Malkmus, british post-punk bands like Wire and The Fall, and proto-indie bands like The dB’s and Minutemen. The trio chart their own course with their self-effacing, openhearted lyrics that set the mundanity of daily life against the backdrop of our chaotic world. To know Cheekface is to love Cheekface. So get involved.

+ Emperor X: Chad Matheny has been writing, recording and performing music as Emperor X since 1998, operating in the space in-between indie rock and emo folk/punk unlike any other current artist. He grew up in Jacksonville, FL and now resides just outside of Berlin. His new album, Unified Field, due June 26, 2026 on Bar/None, was written and recorded mostly in Ukraine, and it’s his crowning achievement. On Unified Field, (a title that’s a loose David Lynch / TM reference), Matheny’s songs straddle the line between the personal and political, which makes sense because the majority of this album was written and recorded while he was in Ukraine, since the war began. Matheny has been a longtime advocate for Ukraine, visiting the region multiple times, touring there in 2023 and housing refugees at his home in Germany. https://emperorx.bandcamp.com
+ Playboy Manbaby: Playboy Manbaby is not a band. Playboy Manbaby is a corporation. Finally someone who can give a voice to a group that has never been treated fairly. Corporations. https://playboymanbaby.bandcamp.com/album/violence
