Bureau De Change

A rock night at The Fighting Cocks in Kingston upon Thames, headlined by Bureau de Change, with Carsick and MUNGRUL in support. The bill mixes post-punk, indie and jazz-tinged rock.

Bureau de Change is a pop, rock and indie act made up of Flora, Will, Connor and Louis. Their debut EP is Are You Flirting With Me?, and the band has toured across the UK and Europe alongside other acts from the current British post-punk scene. Among the reference points named for the band are Amyl & The Sniffers, Petrol Girls and Sonic Youth. Their debut album is in preparation under the working title Tough Day Buffet, and recent songs such as Resistance, Dumb Men and Office Chair extend their catalogue.

Carsick plays a blend of forceful post-punk, electronic textures and echoes of British indie from its golden period, with The Skinner Brothers and The Skints cited as comparisons. MUNGRUL is a five-piece from south-west London who describe their style as Angry Man's Jazz, moving between heavy, energetic passages and softer, melodic moments. Their live history includes club nights on the south and south-east London circuit, and they are compared with King Krule, Yellow Days and Cage The Elephant.

The Fighting Cocks is a venue in Kingston upon Thames that hosts concerts and shows, and this bill suits listeners who follow guitar-driven post-punk and indie rock.
