Loudhailer Electric Company have announced their first hometown gig of the year - with £5 early bird tickets available until Friday.

The band will showcase their original psychedelic sounds at O'Rileys on Friday, December 10, with support from special guests Goodnight Vincent, who will open the show with their high energy indie-folk.

Early bird tickets are on sale until November 5, and are available online from Skiddle.

Hull’s Loudhailer Electric Company have a big history on the psychedelic and original indie scene, featuring Lou Duffy-Howard of indie chart toppers Red Guitars, and Jeff Parsons of post-punk guitar band Dead Fingers Talk.

The line-up is completed by spoken word poetry wordsmith Richard Duffy-Howard, and drummer Dave Burnby - who is preparing for his first Hull show with the band.

Known for their soaring guitar-based songs, the band are preparing a set of new and live favourites telling spirited stories of science fiction, road movies and fairy tales.

Goodnight Vincent

Dave said: “It's a huge privilege and a great pleasure to be working with Loudhailer Electric Company, not least because I've always been a big fan. It's a big challenge working with musicians of such a high calibre and living up to the standards of my predecessors.

“I'm pleased with the outcome and am very much looking forward to our first local gig together on December 10th."

Rich added: “We’re especially pleased to be playing at O’Rileys; it’s a great live music venue with a big stage and excellent sound and lights, so we’re going to have some fun.”

Goodnight Vincent are an indie-folk band originally from London but now based in Hull.

Their sound features the energy of guitars as well as the folky undertones of violin. Combining hard-hitting lyrics, dynamic performances and infectious melodies, Goodnight Vincent are for fans of The National, Waterboys, Arcade Fire, Nick Cave, and Leonard Cohen.

They infuse the dark and brooding with the upbeat and catchy to create something a little different.

Doors at the Beverley Road venue open at 7.30pm for the gig. Early bird tickets cost £5 plus a booking fee, then are £7 in advance and £9 on the door.
