About this event

Scared Little Toaster is on Thursday 17 December 2026 at The Rossi Bar, Brighton, with doors at 19:30. Tickets start at £6.60, including the booking fee.

Don't Tell Presents Scared Little Toaster Experimental rock bass and drums duo from London/Norfolk, with the addition of sporadic moments of jazz and the occasional use of a domestic appliance. Their debut single "VIBRA", premiered by John Kennedy of Radio X, described it as "a welcome breath of fresh air". GAWS Bristol-based post-punk band Gaws fuse blues and psychedelia with the frenetic energy of The White Stripes, the inventiveness of Queens of the Stone Age and the immersion of Pink Floyd. Known for their loud, emotionally charged live shows, the band have played packed headline gigs in Bristol & London, appeared at festivals including Outer Town, Dot to Dot & Moles Fest and have supported other rising bands such as Upchuck, LIFE & Longheads. ATKRTV (“Attacker Tee Vee”) are a self proclaimed “post-ADHD-core” band originally hailing from York. They combine influences of 90s post-hardcore, extreme metal and noise rock in a power trio format, with the aim of overpowering listeners with a wall of energetic dissonance. Disillusioned by the state of technology, media and the British economy, the band’s live shows offer a cathartic and chaotic alternative to a night of doom...

Committee of Sleep

The Rossi Bar · Brighton

Don't Tell Presents Committee of Sleep Committee of Sleep are a four-piece lo-fi pop band from the North of the UK, crafting textured, emotionally driven songs that drift between shoegaze, bedroom pop, and DIY experimentation. Fronted by songwriter Olly Lightfoot, whose 2022 cancer diagnosis informs much of the band’s lyrical landscape, their music explores themes of love, loss, renewal, and quiet gratitude. Blending nylon-string guitars, cascading drums, warm basslines, and hazy harmonics, the band create a sound that feels intimate, dreamlike, and deeply human. Their debut EP Ruling Overturned arrives in April 2026, led by the single “The Planet of Chocolate Bars,” a lucid, reflective track recorded in a rural cottage over New Year’s 2025. Committee of Sleep have shared stages with Yowl, Legss, HighSchool, Cruush, Constant Smiles, Pebbeldash, Midnight Rodeo and Bloodworm. Sitting somewhere between Duster, Bedhead, Elliot Smith, Slowdive, Pixies, and Guided By Voices, the band continue to build a world of introspective, DIY-spirited indie built on honesty and atmosphere. Joined by Pleasance When Soph (guitar, vocals) fell out of her slimy glittery portal from another world...

They have recently shared stages with other prominent touring bands in the genre, such as Helicon, Daiistar, Magic Shoppe, New Candys, Ceremony East Coast & Tremours on their UK tour, The Dharma Chain and most recently with Pink Breath Of Heaven in June, 2026 in London.
