Kenny Young & the Eggplants

The Bullingdon · Oxford

New York's most entertaining indie band, Kenny Young & the Eggplants make a welcome (but long overdue) return to Oxford - and just in time for their favourite holiday - Halloween! Fresh from 3 nights supporting Tom Robinson in London, they are in the UK to promote the Premiere of their new documentary film. "Before It Was Cool: The Brooklyn Beat from Lauterbach's" features The Eggplants and several other bands from the now-legendary Brooklyn indie scene. So expect a night like no other! Kenny Young will tickle your brain with another selection of his thoughtful, surreal (and annoyingly catchy) songs, while The Eggplants spread their unique brand of physical chaos around him. Here's a few sample tracks about New York life, pizzas, and cyclists that might find a peculiar resonance with an Oxford audience! Eddie's Apartment My Dinner with Elvis Psychopath on the Cycle Path

Love Music Hate Racism presents Electronic Against Hate

The Bullingdon · Oxford

Oxford's Love Music Hate Racism returns to The Bullingdon's main room after their sold out shows last year for this special Electronic Against Hate lineup that features two of the most exciting and provocative female electronic artists based in the UK. Anglo-French avant garde electronic artist Julia-Sophie headlines the main room at The Bullingdon. Her debut album 'forgive too slow' combines traditional songwriting roots with experimental electronica — intimate vocals backed by warm analogue synths and precise drum machines. Influences range from New Wave to folk confessional to house to avant-garde 80s pop. The songs narrate a story of self-destruction, love, and loss. By the end, embers are still burning — but there is a sense of getting closer to something authentic. This promises to be a treat for Oxford music fans already aware of her talent and a joy for those who have not yet had the chance to catch her live show. Esoteric electronic artist Maria Uzor will be performing tracks from her brand new album, 'Fantasyland' and bringing her restless energy to the stage. Her music lands like a pirate broadcast from a distant corner of the galaxy. Inspired by both dark and light,...

Tales of Spirits and Souls

Kidlington St Nicholas Church · Islip

“Tales of Spirits and Souls” is a chilling story of the Elf-King who spirits away a child, as told by Goethe and Schubert; songs from Vaughan Williams’ A Shropshire Lad; and A Wailing on the Wind, a brilliant piece that weaves musical styles of Irish ballads and reels and American 1940s Big Bands with a banshee’s cry, to tell the story of a lost love when a teenage boy learns family secrets that forge links between the past and present. This is music and storytelling for everyone aged from 10 to 100. Sollar (String Quartet) with storyteller and tenor Daniel Norman perform by candlelight. Lasts about one hour without interval. Expect some Halloween treats and potions - it is Friday the 13th after all. Snap up our Halloween advance ticket offers (£20 > £18 / £15 > £13) / (Under 18s £6 > £5 / £5 > £4) - available until 31 October.
