Porridge Radio - April Tour

Brighton lo-fi jangle merchants Porridge Radio have, since being feted by The Guardian as one of the 40 Best New Acts of 2018, supported the likes of Florist, Speedy Ortiz and, more recently, the excellent Wave Pictures (which isn't bad for what began as a solo project based out of lead singer Dana Margolin's bedroom).



Moving out of the bedroom and into the garden shed, the four-piece (or five-piece, depending on what band bio you read) recorded and released their debut album Rice, Pasta and Other Fillers in 2016, a refreshingly DIY collection of quirkiness that covers love, life and the boredom in-between. 

With new material recorded for their forthcoming second release Porridge Radio will be hitting the road in April, touring the UK and sauntering into Portsmouth on Friday 12th for a gig hosted by Southsea's own Calamity Cratediggers. Legendary sweat-box The Birdcage (above The Festing pub) is the venue and London's Hussy have been announced as the first support act (further artists TBA), with advance tickets available now for a bargain £5.
