“These violent delights have violent ends,” sings co-vocalist Kate Price on both the album opener ‘The Pleasures’ and its climactic, curtain-dropping title track. “And violently you’ll see, nobody decides it’s over for me, but me.” It’s an echo that bookends Violent Delights by deliberate, poignant design.

DF Concerts Presents: Slag
SLAG formed in Brighton, late 2023. SLAG's guitar riffs are actually kind of crazy when you think about it.
SLAG wear some really cool outfits on stage sometimes. SLAGs singer could be a man if you closed your eyes and listened closely, but she isn't. SLAG released the song Ripped in September and everyone seems to really like it.
Richard Sen | Plus Marie Avril & Gordon
Every time he’s been up here, it’s been absolutely off the scale, so getting him back in the Acid Arch was always going to happen. If you were at any of them, you know what we’re talking about and if you weren’t, trust us, you really, really don’t want to miss him again.

DF Concerts Presents: HighSchool
From Melbourne, HighSchool are the duo of Rory Trobbiani and Luke Scott who caught attention with their six-track debut EP , Forever at Last (which featured fan favourites ‘New York, Paris and London’ and ‘Frosting’), showing a new band who were putting a new lens on classic lo-fi, new wave, goth and post-punk.
DF Concerts Presents: The New Cut
Formed in 2021, the Bristol-based act has quickly garnered momentum with a series of successful releases, leading to support slots for Buzzcocks, Sprints, and The Bug Club, as well as making it onto Green Man Festival's 2024 Emerging Talent longlist.
DF Concerts Presents: The Sophs
When Ramon sent a demo reel out to his favorite indies, he wasn’t expecting any replies.
But Travis and Lee were in his inbox the next day, asking if he’d hop on a call. Rough Trade heard the sort of creativity and variety — and “don’t expect me to act pretty” sentiment — that could get The Sophs — including Ramon, Sam Yuh (keyboards), Austin Parker Jones (electric guitar), Seth Smades (acoustic guitar), Devin Russ (drums), and Cole Bobbitt (bass) — a slot on nearly any stage.
DF Concerts Presents: Kasador
This is dressed-down, cheeky, pirate-radio indie-rock. It’s tender and carefully considered, but also raw and wild and burnt around the edges, a sonic and compositional thumbprint that nods to classic and alternative rock history while pushing into something new, something exciting.
If you want more dirty, raw, celebratory rock and roll in your life, stay tuned. Help is on the way.

Vinny
The hirsute hitmeister only started DJing when he came into work here, but he’s quickly became one of our safest pair of hands on the McChuills decks, whether it’s hosting pre-parties for gigs at the Barras, mental aftershows like Brogeal, or kicking off the weekend with one of his trademark four-hour Friday night sets.

Ciaran Devlin
Over the past decade he’s spent a lot of his DJ life selling his soul and doing it purely for cash, playing to crowds where people want to hear specific things, and giving them it in order to get paid. Funnily enough that led him to getting utterly scunnered with playing out, so his New Year’s resolution this year was to go all in on playing whatever the fvck he wants. It’s a lot more fun that way.
