Picky New Promotions are proud to present a night of international shoegaze featuring PILLS FOR TOMORROW at Zed Alley in Bristol on Sun Nov 8. Pills For Tomorrow are a shoegaze and psychedelic rock band from Grenoble, France, blending dreamy textures, soaring melodies, and British alternative influences. Formed in 2023, the five-piece draw inspiration from artists such as My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Mogwai, and The Brian Jonestown Massacre, creating music that balances introspection, emotion, and sonic depth. Following the release of their debut EP Castle Rock in 2024 and appearances alongside acts including Film School, the band have continued to build momentum across France and the UK. Their forthcoming album, The Day They Killed Morpheus, produced by Paolo Canaglia (New Candys, Glazyhaze), explores themes of resilience, disillusionment, and hope, presenting music as both escape and resistance in troubled times. With a growing reputation for immersive live performances and evocative songwriting, Pills For Tomorrow are emerging as one of the most compelling new voices in contemporary shoegaze.

Ordinary Giants is a song suite by acclaimed songwriter Robb Johnson based on the life and times of his father, Ron Johnson. A family history of the 1930s, the Second World War and the Welfare State — told through songs, spoken word, personal memory and the lives of ordinary people. There are songs and spoken-word pieces about the social realities of the 1930s, the growth of fascism, the experience of the Second World War, the NHS, comprehensive schools, anti-racism and attacks on the Welfare State by the Right. Some of the songs are funny, some are sad, some are love songs and some are political satires.

Betsey Trotwood · London
Welcome one and all to the glorious sound of the Thames Delta, coming at you live and direct from Southend-on-Sea - albeit in the middle of London. First up, garage indie rockers Invaders give forth a sound that is made from 4 cups of estuary mud, a large measurement of swagger and a heavy helping of groove. After a nerve-calming pint or three, you’ll be ready for Permanent Firmament to take the stage - Southend alumni playing songs by the Cusack/Son Of Buff/Adjustment songwriter Lance Baldock, with a sound that sips from the early Fannies, sludgy Neil Young cup with a dollop of indie-powerpop and shades of early Wilco. You’re probably on the spirits by now but Dark Globes bring their melodically driven noise-pop, lo-fi garage rock, and folk-pop infused with gentle psychedelic rock and ringing guitars. Finally - if you are still with us - The Bromides are a London-based (but big in Southend!) alternative noise-pop and garage rock band fronted by singer, guitarist, and Scratchy Records founder Simon Berridge, who also performs as Simon Bromide.
