Velcro Flats presents a daytime show at the Rio Cinema: **POZI** Pozi are a South London trio - Toby Burroughs (drums/vocals), Rosa Brook (violin/vocals) and Frank Lindsay (bass/vocals) - making bittersweet, propulsive weird pop that strips away guitars in favour of churning violin, tightly wound bass and urgent, tumbling rhythms. Emerging with the politically charged minimalism of their debut PZ1 and evolving through the more expansive, textural world of Smiling Pools, their music balances philosophical weight with wiry energy and dark humour, shifting from direct confrontation to a more ambiguous, impressionistic take on modern culture and anxiety. With new album Bark Bark, the band have developed a new body of work that moves into more direct and playful territory, now being performed live as they continue to stretch beyond the post-punk tag and into something more exploratory. **SPIKE** Spike is the synth-pop project of Hannah McLoughlin. Spike’s self-titled debut album buildson a tradition of idiosyncratic British synth-pop, bringing to mind the cold-yet-intimate work of Rose McDowall, Chris & Cosey and Fad Gadget. Spike embraces McLoughlin’s talent for songcraft, merging undeniable hooks with a deep knowledge of leftfield synth music. Throughout these ten tracks, she moves between melancholic dream pop, wiry synth-punk, hauntological textures and hypnagogic city-pop. **Wesley Gonzalez** Velcro Flat's very own Wesley Gonzalez with a set of new and old material.
