FUSE featuring Sunk, LaVire, and Hot Fuzz

Our brand new night at The Victoria Inn - these gigs will be every 2 months and in contrast to our BANG shows, these gigs will be multi genre.

Sunk

Hailing from Nottingham, Sunk is a fresh punk duo comprised of two university students livening up the local music community. With their raw energy and punchy lyrics, they capture the spirit of a generation navigating the highs and lows of modern life.

Dedicating their first single ‘Foremans Sitta’ to their local punk bar of which they regard as their second home, Sunk bring a unique blend of inspiration from classic punk icons such as Stiff Little Fingers, UK Subs and The Fall whilst infusing their own unique and local focuses.

A band to watch out for in the underground scene.

LaVire

LaVire (La-Ve-Er) are a four-piece heavy rock outfit from Lincolnshire, FFO: Biffy Clyro, Halestorm, and The Pretty Reckless. Described by BBC Introducing as ‘a band with big riffs and even bigger melodies’ LaVire have been gaining momentum and attention across 2023 with their anthemic sound and energetic live performances.

Drawing influences from major arena acts of the last few decades, LaVire encapsulates feral attributes that threaten to blow open the genre of Rock. Not easily pigeonholed into any one sub-genre, LaVire are mastering the art of engaging songwriting, along with a whirlwind live set; both constructed to seduce the listener/viewer into their web of aspiration.

Magnified by the hypnotic talents of vocalist Chloe-Jo, who’s snarling viciously one minute then composed and endearing the next, LaVire doesn’t buy into any of that “look at us, we’re a serious band” nonsense. Drummer Adam bounces around behind the kit with a smile that could be sponsored by a toothpaste brand. Aaron & Aaron – yes it’s true – hold together the enchanted rhythms perfectly on Guitar and Bass.


Hot Fuzz

Hot fuzz are a young up and coming indie rock band hailing from all corners of Derbyshire, inspired by the raw overdriven guitars of the Libertines and the Strokes whilst maintaining a hefty lean towards the American grunge movement of the 90s. Their unique blend of styles makes for a perfect well rounded sound.

All bands are on a door split so they get a fair share of ticket sales. By supporting these gigs you are genuinely directly supporting bands. Of course as standard, unlike bigger venues neither us nor The Victoria Inn take commission from any merch sales.
