The Wants began playing shows in the New York City underground music scene in 2017. They signed with the London-based record label Council Records, an imprint of Johnny Greenwood’s Octatonic label. The Wants played SXSW 2019 and then The Great Escape 2019, followed by a series of short tours in the UK and France in the lead-up to the release of their debut album, Container. Their touring cycle for Container was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. Nevertheless, the record received critical acclaim from outlets like NME and Mojo and has maintained an organic listenership.

During this downtime, The Wants worked on what would become Bastard. They opened for Nation of Language in the US and returned to playing local shows in New York City. They have shared the stage with notable acts like Dry Cleaning, Nation of Language, Bambara, Bodega, Lithics, Working Men’s Club, Model/Actress, Public Practice, Xeno & Oaklander, and others. https://thewantsnyc.bandcamp.com/

+ Sin Clair: Experience the first offering from Sin Clair, a modern ritual for an alternate world. Merging soaring harmonies with industrial drum machines and hypnotic piano lines, this solo project from Amelia Kidd (The Horrors, The Ninth Wave) showcases her production and songwriting on a more personal and intimate level. Previously on tour with The Null Club (Gilla Band), Sin Clair’s music remains unreleased and heard only by those who encounter her mesmeric performances live. 

+ Mothdrop: A surreal approach to dream pop, consisting of glitchy grooves and ethereal harmonies moulded from sound design, field recordings, synthesisers and manipulated vocals

Accessibility: No steps, one accessible toilet. Chair can be provided but you must contact the venue in advance. May be strobing
