DELE SOSIMI 07.05
Future Yard are excited to welcome, Nigerian-British Afrobeat Ambassador, Musician and Educator – Dele Sosimi, as part of his curated show – ‘The Dele Sosimi Afrobeat Experience’
Dele Sosimi has been at the heart of the global Afrobeat scene since relocating to the UK in December 1995. Having started his musical career with Fela Kuti’s Egypt 80 band in his teens, he then teamed up with childhood friend Fela’s son Femi Kuti (back in the late eighties) to kick start the Positive Force – touring, recording and performing worldwide. Over forty years later, he remains a tireless ambassador for the unique musical movement all over the world.
His blend of complex funk grooves, traditional Nigerian music, African percussion and an underlying sense of jazz combines with his virtuoso keyboard skills and rhythmic singing to make him one of the most respected Afrobeat authorities of his era.
FFO: The Mauskovic Dance Band, Pat Thomas

Expected capacity: 150 (54%)
LÖWENZAHNHONIG 10.05
Löwenzahnhonig are a Swiss instrumental band working at the intersection of psychedelic pop, mellow funk, indie rock and ambient music. Their sound is built around melodic, reverb-washed guitars, warm basslines and restrained, groove-led drums, creating music that is relaxed, spacious and rhythmically focused.
Formed in Switzerland, Löwenzahnhonig emerged from a series of informal jam sessions and have since built a reputation for live performances that allow songs to stretch and evolve.
FFO: Khruangbin, Tortoise, Yo La Tengo

Expected capacity: 80 (29%)
CONSCIOUS PILOT 11.05
Hailing from Glasgow, Conscious Pilot come to Future Yard. Founded by Joe Laycock and Jack Sharp as a successor to theatrical punk group Cheap Teeth, the pair birthed the project from their joint love of immersive, beat-driven soundscapes and an exploration of subtle shifts.
They are joined by members of Catholic Action and Big Girls Blouse: Emmy Leishman and Chris McCroy. While the band’s identity is a culmination of the differences between each member, they are all bonded by a love of fast, immersive beats and flowing melodies.
FFO: Television, Pylon, Dry Cleaning, Do Nothing
7pm doors
Expected capacity: 60 (21%)
ROLLER DERBY 22.05
Future Yard are excited to welcome Roller Derby to the live room, all the way from Hamburg. The dream pop duo blends 60s melodies and 80s textures with modern indie pop to craft a sound that’s both dreamy and direct. Philine Meyer’s vocals float effortlessly over the warm, melodic guitar work of Manuel Romero Soria. After a string of sold-out shows across Europe, and a recent sell out UK tour, we can guarantee this show is not one to be missed.
FFO: Mazzy Star, Alvvays Beach House
