Widely regarded as one of the UK’s most captivating emerging artists, Luvcat has rapidly developed a devoted fanbase thanks to her theatrical mix of romance, chaos and rock ’n’ roll glamour. Since making her debut with the seductive single Matador, she has sold out headline tours across the UK, Europe and the US, amassed more than 30 million streams worldwide, and earned a reputation for delivering cinematic live shows filled with gothic flair and dramatic intensity.
After taking inspiration from Nick Cave, Cabaret and The Cure, Luvcat has gained notoriety for her own innovative style, creating a gothic and adventurous soundscape. Luvcat will join Australian indie favourites Royel Otis for what is set to be a memorable closing night of this year’s Bristol Sounds series. Comprised of Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic, the duo has ascended to the upper echelons of the international indie music scene, earning widespread acclaim for their heartfelt guitar-pop anthems, viral cover versions and captivating live shows.
Royal Otis' latest album hickey, proved to be a breakthrough release for the band. Singles including moody reached the top of the US AAA Mediabase and Billboard charts, while car was named BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record. With more than one billion streams worldwide and an audience of over 12.6 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Royel Otis have firmly established themselves as one of the leading forces in modern indie music.
