About

neu waves presents a summer show with Tugboat Captain and support from The Roebucks and Conor Clements at The Deco

// Tugboat Captain //

Starting off as a solo project in 2017, Tugboat Captain has morphed over eight years into one of London’s most distinct bands, with a sprawling, romantic sound that draws on folk, classical music, and baroque-pop. Now a fluctuating ensemble, the rest of Tugboat Captain are comprised of Joshua Cobb, Buddy Caderni, Georgia Mancey, Sophia Bartlett and Dougal James.

The evolution of the band’s instrumental skills has come hand-in-hand with the growth os Sox and Josh’s skills as producers/engineers, culminating in the pair opening Ctrl P, the south London studio that helped birth ‘Dog Tale’ in a single frenzied week of writing and recording. As impossible as this sounds, it’s the perfect example of the band and studio’s ethos of creating music in an atmosphere of spontaneity and creativity

New album 'Dog Tale' out now

// The Roebucks //

The Roebucks are a four piece from Brighton whose idiosyncratic take on an alt-country / Americana sound is at times woozy and tender, at other times earthy and bluesy. Lush three-part harmonies interlace with Dwayne Allman-esque riffs and the tightest of rhythm sections to conjure up their own uniquely warm take on a familiar genre. The band have been wowing audiences up and down the country in 2024, and recent appearances have included festival slots at Black Deer Festival and Mutations Festival, as well as high profile support slots with the likes of The Heavy Heavy and Langkamer.

Signed to Goo Records in October 2024, they released their first single ‘Great British Pig’ with the label in February 2025, receiving excellent press and radio support, including plays from Cerys Matthews for BBC 6 Music and John Kennedy for Radio X. Having already played a packed show at this year’s sold out Homegrown Festival in Brighton this April, the band have official slots at Wanderlust Festival and The Great Escape Festival in May 2025

// Conor Clements //

Perhaps known to some for being the frontman and primary songwriter of art-punk band Hallan, Conor has recently came to attention writing and performing his own original material. Releasing the single "A Spoonful of Sugar" in 2022, the Portsmouth based artist garnered a small and unexpected following after the track received over 50,000 streams on Spotify. Subsequently, he is back with his band performing live and releasing new material.

This new audible vehicle allows the songwriter to take on a fresh and more intimate form, sharing with his audience a more personal side to his songwriting. Reflecting his own musical taste and inspirations more accurately than ever, Clements' solo material embraces a new found sense of freedom and brings with it both renewed enthusiasm and warm character.
