Ross From Friends – 24 Kitchen Street – 7pm
Adding on a second live date the day before a sold-out appearance at this Baltic venue means hype for the lo-fi electronica producer’s release on Brain Feeder records must be real. Eschewing the self-deprecating descriptor of ‘cheap house’, RFR will exposit his new more dramatic, technicolour sound palette in a live setting, perhaps flanked – as recent video footage suggests – by a backing band.
