About this event

THE YELLABELLIES is on Saturday 19 December 2026 at Cavern, Exeter, with doors at 19:00. Tickets start at £7.70, including the booking fee.

The YellaBellies are a four piece up tempo band blending a wide range of influences, from Southern Rock thru Bluegrass and Cajun to Alt country and the fringes of psychadelic rock via the Grateful Dead. Expect some well crafted original songs, Nick Cave, Split Lip Rayfield and Johnny Cash covers along with the likes of Wilco, The Velvet Underground and screaming Jay Hawkins. The line up features Tony Plato and Paul Bateman on Drums and Bass/vox the rhythm section of many classic indie bands including The Waxroom, Jackdaw music and the Garbage Grinders, along with Russell Frampton [ Vox guitar ] and Paul Wilson with roots in the alt folk scene through the Joyce Gang, The Venoms and Shaking ground. Russell was also a front man for the Bluegrass Flyers, for many years playing guitar, fiddle and mandolin. Plymouthian Paul Wilson is a great melodeon player, equally at home with Shetland/irish, Cajun and free form improvisation….! All of the band has toured nationally and have many years of gigging experience and these sets are culled from deep connections with Americana and Folk, Rock and blues and the common ground between these styles provides a rich territory to explore.

ICE BATHS + SHAKI TAVI

Cavern · Exeter

Ice Baths are a band that sound as if they play music for themselves and don’t really mind if anyone else likes or gets it. Luckily, for anyone with good taste and a passion for guitar music, you will love Decadent Sprinter. This is a band that who appreciate and explore atmosphere, feeling and dynamics within the constructs of the ‘pop’ song. You could even call it post rock at times. The vocals don’t strain anything beyond a deep mumble, similar to David Gedge of The Wedding Present. Combine that with the driving drone of the drums and rhythm section, Ice Baths sound like latter day Wire. ICE BATHS have performed live on BBC Radio 6 (Tom Ravenscroft show) & released albums & EPs on London's Blank Editions label, alongside Thurston Moore, Housewives and Black Country, New Road as well as supporting the likes of Ulrika Spacek, Squid, Ditz, Drahla, FACS & Crack Cloud. Shaki Tavi is an indie shoegaze and alternative rock music project led by Los Angeles-based songwriter Leon Manson. The project has maintained a positive, underground reputation in the DIY music scene, particularly following the release of the sophomore album Minor Slip on the Felte record label.
