From Gourock, Scotland's quiet shores to sold-out headline shows, SLIX have been a force to reckon with since their 2019 inception. With their blistering 2022 EP "Jingle Jangle," carnage ensued. Their raucous gigs, including a 3 day sell-out of Glasgow's King Tut's, followed by a record-breaking sell-out at McChuills has lead to their biggest headline to date at Glasgow's Saint Luke's on 1 March 2024. Media accolades rain, from Scotland on Sunday to CLASH magazine. SLIX's anthemic indie vibes, catchy choruses and relatable lyrics are making waves in the Scottish scene. With their music being featured in shows such as E4's Made in Chelsea, played by the likes of BBC Introducing and Jack Saunders while they share stages with the the View, and have stormed the stages at festivals such as TRNSMT and Twisterella, SLIX's trajectory is on the right track.
Zoe Graham
Friday 22 March
18:00-18.40 | Världens Bar
Friday 22 March
22:00-22.30 | Broadway Upstairs
Zoe Graham writes songs that sound like doing push-ups on the moon: heavy, but with an unmistakably light touch. Hers is a velvet voice, occasionally back-brushed. Influenced by artists including St Vincent, Kate Bush and Beck - her writing has all the intimacy and vulnerability of the therapist’s chaise longue, but with the door flung wide open for others to listen in. Guitars curdle with loungy synths and tautly machined drums.
