Shiny New Model Festival

Cambridge’s newest event for the new, the noisy, the independent.

After having way too much fun at the first Shiny New Model we wanted to build on it and bring you another line up of the sharpest cuts we can find.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ANTONY SZMIEREK
Manchester based hip hop artist and former teacher Antony Szmierek mixes the vibe of The Streets with a more laid back attitude, and uplifting beats. The perfect way to finish the night.

BLUE CINEMA
Shoegaze revival at it’s best from Cambridge’s Blue Cinema. Sweeping walls of guitars and vocals echo for days. For fans of Cocteau Twins, Ringo Deathstarr, Slowdive.

EBBB
Probably one of the best and most insane live propositions we’ve seen in the last few years. Drawing in MDMA laced techno beats, the lunacy and musical exploration of Animal Collective and all with just three people on stage. You’ll leave their set changed.

GROVE
Fiercely political and angry, Grove mixes up furious grime and garage beats with punk. Their timely appearance with Bob Vylan a few years back coincided with the Queen’s Jubilee and no-one doubted their views on the matter.

HOME COUNTIES
Genre-blurring Home Counties are known for their energetic mix of post-punk, synth-pop, and danceable indie.
Home Counties manage to balance the duality of lyrical frankness and musical buoyancy with gusto. With an eye for the day-to-day, all-too-relatable details of crap modern living, coupled with an ear for hook-filled, grin-inducing melodies – the pay-off is one riddled in joy rather than despair.

HONEYGLAZE
South London’s Honeyglaze blend Black Country, New Road-esque post rock with torch songs and motown influences to inject classic songwriting into the realm.

LIME GARDEN
Guitar lines twist and turn around some gloriously wonky indie pop. They’ve been bubbling under for a while now and look set to explode in 2025.

PANICSHACK
Panic Shack’s music the same effect as popping a bottle of Prosecco: explosive, intoxicating, and delightfully chaotic.
They’ve toured with the likes of Bob Vylan and Soft Play, had festival appearances at Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Green Man, End of the Road, SXSW and more, and their acclaimed ‘Baby Shack EP’ bottled the lightning they have on stage, cementing their ability to blend killerhooks with a contagious sense of humour.

SHE’S IN PARTIES
Pop laced nu-gaze upstarts, drawing influence from 80s pioneers like The Cocteau Twins and The Cure and throwing it all in with some Tears For Fears pop sheen.

THE MOTOR SHOW
Spaghetti Western soundtracks collide with wonky post-punk in The Motor Show. One for fans of The Fall, Warmduscher, Shame.

THE U CLUB
Classic indie rock vibes abound in the joyous pop of The U Club. Soaring vocals roll along top of choppy guitars and synth washes. For fans of Mac DeMarco, Alex G.

TINY VESSELS
Tiny Vessels recall the frenetic, optimistic energy of 00s indie rock and bring it screeching into 2025. One for fans of The Maccabees, Bombay Bicycle Club, Maximo Park et al.
