A fresh music event promising a “mini festival” vibe within the span of a few hours is set to debut at the end of this month.
The first Stereo Sanctity night will take place on Friday, October 25, at Voodoo Daddy’s in Norwich, with plans for future events in Cambridge and Ipswich.
The event is organized by Adrian Cooke, co-founder of the long-running annual Sound and Vision convention, which began in Norwich before relocating to Cambridge in 2022.
Now eager to return to promoting individual gigs, Cooke is teaming up with his son Jamie for this project.
“Me and my son Jamie are curating this together, representing two generations. It’s almost like a mini festival in a night, rather than a traditional gig with just a support band and headliner. The whole night is designed to be an experience,” Cooke shared.
The name Stereo Sanctity is inspired by a Sonic Youth song, hinting at the kind of music attendees can expect—an eclectic mix of alternative, experimental, and slightly noisy genres.
Speaking on BBC Introducing Norfolk and Suffolk, Cooke revealed that the event will feature three bands, with DJ sets filling the gaps between performances.
One of the standout acts includes Deb Googe, bassist of the cult shoegaze band My Bloody Valentine, who will be performing her first solo set under the alias Da Googie.
Her performance promises to blend intricate soundscapes with visuals and projections.
Local Norwich band Magnolia, formed in 2022 during their college years, will expand to an eight-piece for their stage show, delivering experimental post-rock sounds.
Meanwhile, The All Tomorrows, another Norwich-based band, recently made waves at Latitude Festival and are set to perform a dynamic set filled with post-rock, shoegaze, post-punk, and pop-inspired tunes.
With this exciting line-up and immersive atmosphere, Stereo Sanctity is poised to become a go-to event for fans of alternative and experimental music.
