Salter Cane + The Equatorial Group + Skyscrapers

SALTER CANE
Johnny Cash meets Joy Division: that’s one attempt to describe the sound of the legendary post-punk folk-noir band from Brighton who are back with their new album, Deep Black Water.

Formed in the early 2000s, Salter Cane established themselves as an unmissable live act, opening for The Black Keys, My Morning Jacket, Giant Sand, and more, while also releasing two classic albums; their eponymous debut in 2007, and Sorrow in 2010. Now, with the release of their third album, Deep Black Water, Salter Cane are returning with menacing songs from the depths of the subconscious.

Join them for the album launch at the Hope and Ruin on Saturday, 4th April for an unforgettable evening of magnificent music.

“A dark and thrilling mix of Johnny Cash, Nick Cave, Sixteen Horsepower and Joy Division. Bloody marvellous!” —Totally Radio

“The kind of haunting slide guitar sounds and vocals that penetrate the mean and soulful receptors of the brain.” —BBC

THE EQUATORIAL GROUP
Hailing from the sleepy seaside town of Eastbourne on England’s Sussex coast, The Equatorial Group is formed of five friends from various and differing musical backgrounds. By navigating and taming this musical tug-of-war, they have created four records, in which some listeners hear the shadows of Neil Young or the colours of Fleetwood Mac.

SKYSCRAPERS
Melodic slowcore, weaving delicate songs with lush soundscapes. All-original melodic indie rock music from Lewes.
