SUMMARY:Bathing Suits
LOCATION:Leeds Brudenell Social Club
DESCRIPTION:- Today\, September 9th\, Bathing Suits share a re-worked versi
 on of their break-out single ‘I Can Be A Freak’\, featuring guest voca
 ls from Mandy\, Indiana frontperson Valentine Caulfield. Listen here. The 
 new version pulls Bathing Suits’ already volatile collision of snarling 
 guitars\, punishing electronics and club-ready momentum even further into 
 the red. Caulfield’s unmistakable vocal presence adds another layer of t
 ension to the track\, bringing together two of the most confrontational an
 d compelling bands currently operating at the intersection of experimental
  guitar music and the dancefloor. Speaking on the collaboration\, Valentin
 e Caulfield adds: “I discovered Bathing Suits after meeting Freyja at on
 e of our shows earlier this year\, and it was love at first listen. Their 
 music is exciting\, provocative\, danceable\, and - something quite rare f
 or a band so young - they know exactly who they are. When they asked me if
  I would be open to recording a verse for them\, the answer was obviously 
 yes. Little do they know that they are the ones who did me a favour: in te
 n years\, when Bathing Suits are filling up arenas around the world\, I ca
 n say I loved them before it was cool.” The release arrives during a lan
 dmark year for Bathing Suits. Following three performances at The Great Es
 cape\, including an appearance on the BBC Radio 6 Music stage\, the Leeds 
 four-piece were named winners of the festival’s prestigious Steve Strang
 e Award. Earlier this summer they headlined the Rising Stage of Green Man 
 Festival\, where they were picked out as one of the highlights of the week
 end. Their debut EP\, ‘KILL BATHING SUITS’\, is out now via Underplay 
 Recordings. Across five tracks recorded and produced by Benny Howell\, AKA
  Leeds and Berlin-based DJ and producer DJ Subaru\, the band move between 
 the seven-minute noise-trance sprawl of ‘Empathy’\, the battering feed
 back and big-beat propulsion of ‘I Can Be A Freak’\, and the four-to-t
 he-floor ferocity of ‘Swan Princess’. In September\, Bathing Suits wil
 l support Bodega at London’s 100 Club before playing a headline show at 
 Rough Trade East on September 16th. The show will celebrate the limited vi
 nyl release of ‘KILL BATHING SUITS’\, Born out of the DIY party scene 
 in their Leeds hometown\, Bathing Suits’ earliest rehearsals took place 
 in the same basements as their homemade club nights: tiny spaces transform
 ed by blaring PAs\, rumbling subwoofers and elaborate lighting rigs. That 
 environment remains central to the band’s sound\, where live instrumenta
 tion is treated with the physicality and intensity of club music. The band
  will then take the EP on the road for a run of in-store appearances and s
 hows in Paris\, Amiens\, Nottingham and their hometown of Leeds. Their rel
 entless live schedule continues into October when they join Man/Woman/Chai
 nsaw on tour across the UK\, including a show at London’s Electric Ballr
 oom on October 7th. Bathing Suits’ reputation has grown rapidly through 
 their feverish live performances and early releases\, earning support from
  BBC Radio 1\, BBC Radio 6 Music\, KEXP\, Rolling Stone UK\, Bandcamp\, NM
 E\, DIY\, So Young\, COLD Magazine\, Far Out\, Louder Than War and more. E
 arlier this year\, vocalist and live drum-machine operator Freyja Blevins 
 was also photographed by Hedi Slimane as part of the celebrated photograph
 er and designer’s ongoing portrait work. Bathing Suits are the inaugural
  signing to Underplay Recordings\, a new label venture distributed exclusi
 vely in partnership with Virgin Music Group. With the Steve Strange Award 
 secured\, their debut vinyl pressing rapidly disappearing and a new chapte
 r already waiting in the wings\, Bathing Suits are hurtling towards the en
 d of the year as one of the UK’s most uncompromising and exhilarating ne
 w live bands.\n\nBoletos: https://wegottickets.com/event/714334
