Making a Scene - with Gordon Raphael + Guests

Making a Scene - with Gordon Raphael, Wall Street, and Frontwoman

This event brings together Southampton's most exciting young bands and Gordon Raphael, the producer of Is This It and other seminal records that have shaped the sound of indie rock for the last 25 years. Themed around 'what it takes to start a scene', the event will draw on Gordon's experience of the birth of grunge in 1990s Seattle, and New York City's 2000s indie sleaze movement. It aims to showcase two exciting grassroots acts from Southampton, and inspire local musicians and fans alike to launch themselves into this budding scene. The night will culminate in a live discussion with Gordon, who has worked with The Strokes, Regina Spektor, The Cribs, and more. Opening for Gordon will be self-styled 'vampire oil refinery autotune rock' artist Wall Street, and poetic post-punk legends Frontwoman. The singers will interview Gordon in an informal setting, with plenty of opportunity for crowd participation.
