Esprit D'Air

Esprit D'Air, a rock-metal band of Japanese and British origin, return to Leeds with a double set at the Brudenell Social Club, drawing on their album Aeons and marking ten years since their debut record.

Esprit D'Air have been active since 2010 and released their first album, Constellations, in 2017, which marked their debut on record. The band is fronted by Kai, who is also a guitarist with The Sisters of Mercy. The line-up includes drummer Jan-Vincent Velazco, formerly of Ghost, alongside bassist Takeshi and guitarist Yusuke.

Their music moves across a wide range of styles, from nu metal and djent to power metal and electronicore. Melodic vocal lines sit against futuristic soundscapes, and the group's approach does not settle into a single genre. This double set combines material from Aeons with a celebration of the tenth anniversary of Constellations.

The Brudenell Social Club began as a working men's club and mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts. The evening suits listeners who follow the band's catalogue across both of its albums and want to hear the two records placed side by side in one performance.
