Description

Blending high-drama piano balladry, polymetric alt-pop, and transcendent plainsong, Rubie is a London-born, Glasgow-based artist, producer, and profound storyteller. Fresh from sold-out headlines at The Divine, Queer Theory, and supporting Tom Rasmussen and Jasmine.4.t, she?s gaining recognition beyond the queer underground for her intricate songwriting and raw, emotionally charged performances. Her 2024 album Seek Sisters?an ode to the many-gendered siblings who carried her through tumultuous years accessing trans healthcare?earned glowing praise from The Quietus (?Brilliantly restless?), and has been championed by The Matrix director Lilly Wachowski, who selected lead single To Change?s music video for screening at New York Pride.

Hailing from Portugal's Setúbal bay, Vaiapraia is a DIY post-punk songwriting and performance project that, from its humble solo beginnings in 2013, has since swelled into a collective endeavour. Over the last decade a rotating cast of bandmates, collaborators, performers and experiences have combined to mimic, honor and challenge the thresholds and traditions of pop/rock songcraft.
As well as releasing 2 LPs, several EPs and singles, Vaiapraia's wild live shows are raucous, catchy and queer, and they have opened for acts including The Raincoats, Downtown Boys, King Khan and Mega Bog. For Portuguese-speakers, the lyrics are at once cathartic, political, and laden with poetic dissonance. For everyone else, the performance speaks for itself.
