With only four shows played before live music went on hiatus, Julia-Sophie?s first run of support shows was with the likes of Haiku Salut, Art School Girlfriend, Stealing Sheep, Laetitia Sadier, Sink Ya Teeth and Low Island, followed by headline shows in Manchester and London.

Freshly signed to Beat Palace Records (Anna Prior of Metronomy?s new imprint), there?s no stopping Anglo-French, Oxford-based electronic-pop artist Julia-Sophie. Her past EPs 'y?' & '</3' established her spectral, avant-pop sound, infused with experimental electronics and compared to artists like FKA Twigs, Kelly Lee Owens and Ela Minus, and were featured by BBC 6Music, The Quietus, Electronic Sound, Bandcamp Daily and The Line of Best Fit.

Description

The stunning 50’s bar island takes centre stage in the venue, illuminated, and boasting the kind of drinks offer you’d expect to find; JaguarShoes classic cocktails, locally brewed craft beers and a selection of new and old world wines.

The VICTORIA has a long standing heritage as a music venue, we plan to maintain that under JaguarShoes, but it’s also a great pub and it feels like for a long time that’s been overlooked.

The focus at the Victoria is premium Rum which seemed the obvious choice given the Caribbean influence on the area in recent decades and the fact that rum is not quite so serious a companion as it’s peers… Rum, can just be fun!

The music room at The Victoria has been on the radar of gig goers for more than 3 decades and is one of the best live rooms in East London. Ben Heath, who owned and ran infamous Shoreditch club CATCH (2001-2009), joins the founders of DreamBagsJaguarShoes in recreating this club.

In the Spring of 2015 we re-launched the space independently to the pub, working with the industry’s best promoters and building an exciting a new programme of live music and club nights.
