Divine Schism are delighted to be doing this fab Saturday night rock show with Dim Wizard! It's a indiepop/punk project from David Combs of cracking band Bad Moves, and is sure to be a top night! Particularly since Dim Wizard will be joined by London's Cheerbleederz and Oxford's Spank Hair YES!!!
Some more info on Dim Wizard, for the uninitiated:
It?s tempting to call David Combs a pop scientist. From his work in the ebullient D.C. power pop band Bad Moves to his work as Dim Wizard, Combs?s songs are so tightly crafted and explosively catchy, it feels like they were made by carefully tipping test tubes into beakers and making precise notations in a spreadsheet entitled GOOD HOOKS. However, as the name itself suggests, Dim Wizard proves that Combs is more alchemist than scientist, combining ingredients to create something completely unexpected and magical. In the studio, Dim Wizard is a collaborative recording process where he brings musicians, songwriters, and producers together to all contribute to a single song. On the road, Combs assembles a group of local friends to perform an interpretation of the same songs?each one unique. Every Dim Wizard show, like every Dim Wizard song, is a true one-of-one, a moment in time when like minded musicians get together, pour all their ideas into a cauldron, and stir until it forms something surprising and, invariably, catchy as hell.
New River Studios stands as a vital cultural artery within North London's Harringay Warehouse District, operating as a not-for-profit arts centre and community interest company. It provides an accessible platform for local artists and creative businesses, offering shared facilities and a space for collaboration that extends beyond mere commerce. This converted furniture warehouse has cultivated a reputation as a significant hub for artistic expression and community engagement.
Inside, the venue retains an industrial charm, with exposed elements softened by the warmth of activity. The air often carries the faint aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the lingering scent of performance, while the tactile experience of worn wooden surfaces and robust, repurposed furniture speaks to its history and practical ethos. It cultivates an atmosphere that is both grounded and creatively charged, a genuine reflection of its artistic purpose.
Practically, the venue features a well-stocked bar and café, serving a selection of craft beers, coffees, and casual fare like pizzas and vegan brownies. It also houses recording and rehearsal studios, supporting musicians and creatives. The space is designed with accessibility in mind, offering a wheelchair-accessible entrance.
