We’re proud to bring you SUEP as part of Independent Venues Week 2023! The stubbornly high spirited SUEP create oddball car-boot-sale pop with a sprinkle of theatrical storytelling. Led by SuepLord (Porridge Radio, Garden Centre) and Brain Wastefield (UK top model), SUEP is borne out of a near-decade of wearing silly clothes and playing music together. After relocating from Brighton to London, the pair added GN (The GN Band, Joanna Gruesome, The Tubs), Freakin’ Deacon (PC World, Garden Centre), and T-Mr.9 (Head of Pastoral Care) to the line-up. They take turns writing songs and taking lead vocal duties, but manage to create a coherent world of playful collaboration. Their songs take the listener through haunted castles, deprived encounters, days lost to the imagination in bed, and through the integral friendships that give SUEP the energy to keep dancing to their own beat.
