Crawling with the debris of our drains in a harmonic mash of haunting ambience and dynamic distortion, London based gutter-folk band ‘drainfly’ bring audiences from seated awe to chaotic dance through their music.
Their live shows are littered in industrial drums, ethereal guitars, gnarled basslines and spectral vocals. Inspired by folklore and the mundane day to day, drainfly's music blurs the line between the natural world and the cities rusting underbelly.
Frequenting venues like the Windmill Brixton, Shacklewell Arms and George Tavern, the band have been etching themselves into the pipework of London with their eerie artwork plastered across the dingy walls of these pubs; hiding their zines in forgotten places across the city and passing their custom lighters on to fellow drain-folk at shows.
who are these drain people?
The drain people live the pipes of our drains, they are housemates with the drainflies. They are the mould in your forgotten crockery and the limescale of your walls. They clog up your drains with forgotten furniture decorating their rooms with your bedroom clutter. Living in the little natures of suburbia. We hear the drain folk’s music from our drains and play it for you to listen to.
