There’s some exciting news for local gig goers from Blue Door Music Productions & Tantrum Zentrum in the guise of ‘Taste The Floor’, which with the assistance of Arts Council England, is a series of underground music events taking place at the ever popular Green Door Store in Brighton.
The aim of the events is twofold: firstly, to connect the new original artists with the more established acts in the genres of punk, electronica and Gothic rock, thus providing them with invaluable experience and future opportunities; secondly, to expose new and exciting underground music to both the existing fans and the wider audiences in general.
Here are the dates that you should add to your diary – Friday 17th June, Saturday 2nd July and Saturday 10th September.
The line-up for all three nights have already been confirmed!
On Friday 17th June, it will feature a trio of acts. They are Iamwarface, Tantrum Zentrum and Warning Signal.
IAMWARFACE:
A Nu-Rock Band formed in Brighton 2016 by singer/producer Matt Warneford. The name is a cunning metaphor for his own original style of bombastic high-energy groove based electro-rock, which has been affectionately branded “Rocktronica” by none other than legendary Virgin Radio host Eddy Temple Morris.

TANTRUM ZENTRUM:
Tantrum Zentrum is a British/Canadian post-punk band from London. Inspired by both early 70s German rock and late 70s New York no-wave bands, they deliver sonic dissonance and poppy hooks with great energy and style.

JULIA-SOPHIE:
Earning her place in the avant-pop sisterhood of FKA Twigs, Grimes, Half-Waif and Natasha Kahn, Julia-Sophie’s palette is a mix of the hot, liquid, cool and electric. For all her spectral vocals, ethereal refrains there’s something earthy & intimate.
