The Cube Microplex

QWAK club  #24 - Saturday 27th June 2026 ℂ𝕌𝔹𝔼 ℂ𝕀ℕ𝔼𝕄𝔸
£11 / £6 +bf on headfirst.

Completely nonsensical bill featuring three acts visiting Bristol for the first time. The event will launch an exhibition of new artwork by Laurie Owens and if the weather is good - they'll be the opportunity to imbibe cocktails and performances (maybe) in the Cube's delightful garden.
band  - New trio venture from Sophie Cooper (trombone logic extender), Flo Christman (drums!) and Tom Hawkins (gravel voiced cello) Long form dub adjascent lock in improv'd noise minimalism. One listen through this and you'll appreciate why we've invited them down: flosound.bandcamp.com/album/beneath

THE SPRIGS - Slap-dash free-folk trio feat the impossibly productive Rory Salter (him of Malvern Brume and Infant Tree) currently celebrating the release of their first long player proper: 'For Red Riverbank' out last month on one of our favourite labels - Bison Records. Characterised by Time is Away as a ‘Beautifully scrappy meeting point between diaristic real-world clatter and a particular strain of folk-pop romanticism’. 

THOMAS CARROLL Thomas Carroll - Mostly works in improvisation, performing using feedback electronics and scavenged devices (‘some-input mixer’). Sometimes he performs pieces that are closer to ‘composition’ by some definition. He runs Free Music Lessons, a gig series in Leeds; and co-runs Conception, an experimental open mic night in Leeds. Releases on: Marginal Frequency, Infant Tree, Kirigirisu, Why Keith Dropped the S, Teorema di Gasparo, Sawyer Spaces.

ROBERT RIDLEY-SHACKLETON  - What makes a party a party? RRS makes a party a party. Our beloved Cardboard Prince has just funk'd up Glasgow and Edinburgh and is now back in the mothership for his first home performance in a little while.

+++ An exhibition of recent artwork by the psychedelic mind warrior egg
+++ 🚰🎀Hebe DJ in the bar!
+++ Cocktails in the garden!
