Slow Fiction

Slow Fiction is a pop rock act from New York, appearing at The Louisiana in Bristol with special guests. The five-piece has built its sound over five years of working together.

Slow Fiction is a five-piece band whose members live close together in New York. The line-up comprises vocalist Julia Vassallo, guitarists Paul Knepple and Joseph Skimmons, bassist Ryan Duffin and drummer Akiva Henig. Over five years the group has moved from friendship to a closer working bond, and in mid-2022 it began to set firmer standards as a band.

Vassallo describes the group as a family that approaches its music together, with every member treated as part of the whole. That trust has allowed the band's dollhouse songs to be revisited and reshaped over time rather than fixed early in their development.

The Louisiana is a venue on Wapping Road in Bristol that mainly hosts concerts, with a programme centred on pop, rock and indie music. The evening suits listeners of those styles, with Slow Fiction headlining and special guests joining the bill.
