Full “Somerset Introducing” line up announced
Somerset County Cricket Club are pleased to be able to announce the full line up for the Somerset Introducing Music Festival.
On Tuesday August 26th, Somerset will take on Northants Steelbacks in the Metro Bank One Day Cup and we will also be celebrating the hottest local music talent!
This match will see us staging the first ever Somerset Introducing Music Festival which will be headlined by the brilliant China Bears.
CHINA BEARS
Originally formed in Somerset by twin brothers Ivan and Frazer (lead guitar), the China Bears line up was completed after meeting James (bass) and Dean (drums) at university in Guildford.
If melodic diligence counts for anything, China Bears are masters of their arty leftfield craft. Through a series of terrific tours and exquisitely-balanced EP releases ‘I’ve Never Met Anyone Like You’, ‘Statue Still’ and ‘All That Distance’, they have displayed an innate ability to blend the alt.rock rush with the acoustic hush.
Rousing and romantic, debut album ‘Participation Trophy’ (set to release on 12th July 2024 vis Fierce Panda Records) feels cinematic in its grandeur, whilst also feeling incredibly personal in its storytelling.
From the driving ‘I Will Break My Own Heart’, the twinkling ‘Beck and Call’, the electric force of ‘Total Communication Breakdown’ to the blossoming ‘Gracie’, there is a song to accompany everyone’s own life soundtrack.
The festival line up also features some outstanding local music acts who will be performing throughout the day, so make sure that you don’t miss out on this brilliant celebration of both live elite sport and live music!
Alex Priddice (Priddice Brothers Band)
