The Pioneer Club presents:
Lakes: Album Release Show (+ Guests)
Lakes + Redwood + Hidden Palace + Whelligan
Entry Requirements: Ages 14+ / Under 14s to be accompanied by an adult
To celebrate the release of their forthcoming record 'Elysian Skies', Lakes are coming to The Pioneer Club, St Albans. Get your tickets today!
Formed in 2018, ‘glock-rock’ stalwarts Lakes have turned plenty of heads since emerging from the depths of Watford’s DIY scene.
The band are settling into 2023 with their sights set on a metamorphosis, driven by a desire to forge themselves into something bigger and brighter than ever before. Step forth new album Elysian Skies. Recorded with Tom Peters (Alpha Male Tea Party, The Fall, Vennart) at Trapdoor Studios in Liverpool, Lakes took to the studio to make their sound enormous, leaning into their penchant for positivity, charm and twinkling catharsis all while wrapping their themes in echoing guitar effects and soaring vocal harmonies.
Where their last album, Start Again, saw Lakes take their darkest moments and come out of the other side, Elysian Skies is an evolution of that woe and emerging into a realm that is full of colour, brightness and hope. It’s the band forging their own path and signalling a new phase in 2023, not quite the re-birth of their previous record, but a phase that contains the very essence of what the band have grown into — and what they do best.
Special Guests... Redwood

They put on a passionate live show that you certainly will not want to miss out on.

Redwood are a dynamic, five-piece alternative rock outfit from Hertfordshire, UK. Drawing influence from a range of genres from emo to post-rock, they combine delicate melodies and thought provoking lyrics with intricate, shimmering guitars and powerful choruses with explosive endings. On record they’re nothing short of impressive, but the live show is where this band truly shines; energetic, atmospheric, bold and emotionally powerful. Their debut album Beside a Shallow Sun is out now!
