ALEX SAINT IVY Alex Saint Ivy’s music is best described as “the sound of suburban frustration”. Despite growing up in a UK town best known for its roundabouts and now half empty shopping centre, his songwriting takes inspiration from classic American artists like Tom Petty, Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen and then mixes them up with more modern influences like Hiss Golden Messenger, Ben Kweller and early 00s one hit wonders The New Radicals. He describes his music as “Indie Folk Power Pop” which gives you some idea of the different musical worlds that coalesce to create an Alex Saint Ivy song. Listen to his lyrics and you'll often find a mixture of wry observation and irony, opening up windows into peoples lives like the traveling folk storytellers of old. Listen to the music and you get a different story, with big melodic hooks and layered harmonies that betray his pure pop sensibilities. Having released 5 singles in the last 9 months, and with headline shows in Brighton and London under his belt, Alex Saint Ivy is hoping to end his 2025 in style with this final Victoira headline show LIGHTMEAL Lightmeal is an Essex-Australian four-piece of guitars, keys and drums, driven by melody and with a creamy blend of pop, rock and soul. They'll be launching a five-track, five-hit EP this year whose subject matter ranges from coffee to love and back again. FAKE SHEMP "Songs Nobody Asked For" by Fake Shemp is exactly that – a collection of songs that, well, nobody asked for. Nonetheless, it is a collection of songs Fake Shemp felt compelled to record, so they did. Inspirations vary and are likely palpable – with the biggest being heartbreak, a fair few of them.
