The 52s are back with another HUGE gig to see out the year. With very special guests Hyphen, Mantis State and Disco Stu to close out the evening with some Disco, Funk and even a splash of techno.
Join us for the bands BIGGEST show to date.
The 52s started life in a grimy student house in south Oxford where Oli Dinwoodie and Vex Nagendran would jam out originals and funky covers in their bedrooms. By the time they were leaving Oxford the band had built up a reputation for high energy shows with tight vocal harmonies expanding their sound and members to form a collective of friends and musicians. Drawing influence from soul, jazz, R&B, pop and South Asian music the band’s home is in a garage in North London that has become the creative centre. As the band is made up of Frontline workers during the pandemic the 52s became an outlet for channelling some of the experiences and the track ‘Heroine’ was written and released in collaboration with The Guilty Feminist podcast to raise awareness and support for victims of domestic violence. The band have built a large and dedicated following from gigging across London including playing sell-out shows at Brixton Blues Kitchen, Ronnie Scott’s and are regulars at Sofar Sounds.
