lots of hands at Rough Trade Bristol

lots of hands and Sundots share the bill at Rough Trade Bristol as co-headliners, with Dogsbody appearing as special guests. lots of hands made its debut with the release 'into a pretty room'on Fire Talk Records. It gathers reworked demos, standout session recordings and instrumental electronic passages, and its songs deal with grief, loss, growing up and letting go.

Sundots is the project of Drew Collins, a longtime experimental music composer who began it in 2019 with a demo recorded after first picking up a guitar. Friends Jake Fucci, Austin Traver and Nick Restivo, familiar figures in the Connecticut DIY scene, have helped turn the bedroom recordings into a live band. The music draws on freak-folk, ambient, slowcore and indie rock, with lyrics written in a stream-of-consciousness style. Its 2024 record 'Honeyspot'reflects on youth, maturity, love and fantasy.

Rough Trade Bristol is a Bristol venue that mainly hosts concerts, with a focus on pop, rock and indie music, and this bill sits within that range.
