Sunday 2nd June Top Pick – Allium! @ The Louisiana, Bristol
What venue are they playing?
The Louisiana, Bristol BS1 6UA
How much is it?
A mere £6 will allow you to see a trio of rockers, headlined by the brilliant Allium!.
The Bristol based Allium! are a four piece alternative rock band who will delight you with reverbed, distorted guitar riffs from Tom Sheppard, blended with the powerful, energising lyrics of vocalist Maya MacCallum
Heavily inspired by their 90’s/2000’s upbringing, the band are an eclectic mix of indie, grunge and punk. Forming only 2 years ago, you wouldn’t be able to tell they were inexperienced, as they regularly leave their fans thrilled with their engaging performances.
If you want to be blown away with hardcore rocking noise, this is where you need to be this Sunday
