Queen Colobus launch the first single, Dandelion, from their upcoming EP. In the intimate setting of Servant Jazz Quarters, Queen Colobus will celebrate Dandelion’s release as well as unveiling songs from the new EP and playing old favourites. With support from China Bowls.

Queen Colobus’ “boundless creativity” (CLASH) weaves a sound that is both soothing and head-banging in equal measure. Their devastatingly honest lyrics and rage-filled riffs fuel their more-ish songs. Led by Welsh saxophonist and vocalist Beth Hopkins, the band features Morgan Rickman (guitar), Will Heaton (bass), and Adam Skinner (drums). Queen Colobus’ intricate musicianship and tight-knit friendship empower their joyful and cathartic shows, selling out prestigious venues including Royal Albert Hall’s Elgar Room and gaining support from industry tastemakers such as BBC 6Music and CLASH.

Support: Alternative soul singer/songwriter China Bowls combines poetic and insightful lyricism with percussive guitar tones and soaring melodies to conjure a sound rich in feeling. Storytelling is at the heart of China’s music and her warm conversational vocal will guide you through intricate narratives exploring subjects ranging from insomnia, to horrible bosses to the policing of female sexuality. She cites influences including Lianne La Havas and Julia Jacklin with audible nods to folk, soul, jazz and indie.

Tickets £12 in advance or £15 on the door. Please note this venue is 18+.
