Keg

Keg is a seven-piece pop, rock and indie band with a new album, Relaxing Near the Hospital. This concert takes place at The Louisiana in Bristol.

Keg have been a band for six years, and the seven members draw on influences that range from hardcore punk to the smooth crooning associated with Steely Dan. Their new album, Relaxing Near the Hospital, has been compared with Ween for its refusal to settle on one fixed sound. Its main difference from earlier releases is a sense of vulnerability, which earlier work only hinted at and which here is fully developed.

The band's earlier EPs, Assembly (2021) and Girders (2022), were praised by Loud and Quiet, NME, Dork and So Young, and played on BBC Radio 6 and Radio X. Keg have also appeared at festivals including Greenman, Latitude and End of The Road, and have built a following across the UK and Europe.

Keg's reputation rests largely on their live performances, which are described as frenetic and which have been a consistent focus since the band formed. The Louisiana is a Bristol venue that hosts concerts and shows, and this date gives audiences the chance to hear the band's current material in person.
