Koyo Bloom

Koyo Bloom, a rock band from Leeds, play Brudenell Social Club alongside Duffin. The band, formerly known as KOYO, have released several albums and recently announced an indefinite hiatus.

Koyo Bloom are a rock band whose sound draws on alternative, psychedelic and progressive rock. The band are alumni of Leeds Conservatoire and became a prominent part of the city's music scene. Their live performances led to a slot opening the BBC Introducing Stage at Reading and Leeds Festivals, and they have since appeared at events including Download Festival, Live at Leeds and Sheffield Tramlines. They also recorded the live album Live At RAK.

Their self-titled debut album was widely praised by the music press and featured in end-of-year lists from Classic Rock, PROG and Louder Than War. Their second album, You Said It, followed a session with producer Mike Horner, who has worked with Hot Chip and Franz Ferdinand. Their third album, Onism, was partly funded through a crowdfunding campaign that Kickstarter selected as a Project We Love. In 2025 the band changed their name to Koyo Bloom and announced a fourth album, Distance, which they made entirely DIY.

The band are on the bill with Duffin at Brudenell Social Club, a venue on Queen's Road in Burley, Leeds, which started as a working men's club and mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts.
