Tulpa

Thrilled to be bringing the magnificent Tulpa to London! The Leeds band were responsible for one of our favourite albums of 2025 in their magnificent ‘Monster of the Week’ and we can’t wait to host them in the big smoke on Saturday 30th May at the always ace New River Studios.

Supports TBC but will be a party!

Tulpa are an indie rock band from Leeds. Their sound contrasts detuned and lo-fi guitar textures with hyper-melodic vocals, creating songs with emotional warmth and sonic intrigue. The group consists of Josie Kirk, Daniel Hyndman, Myles Kirks and Mike Ainsley. They have recently supported Throwing Muses, Pale Blue Eyes and Bug Club and have just recorded a live session for Marc Riley and Gideon Coe on BBC6 Music.

Live, their songs lean into texture and tone, creating a dreamy atmosphere and distortion that feels like a big hug. The songs meander from catchy hooks into tangents of musical experimentation and guitar wizardry. The lyrics are sometimes abstract, sometimes mysterious, but always direct and powerful expressions of universal human emotion.

Tulpa’s debut album ‘Monster of the Week’ was released by Skep Wax records in November. It was recorded by Jamie Lockhart (The Cribs, Mush, Drahla). The record is the first ever album to be produced at Jamie’s new studio at Lamigo Bay, a picturesque and remote region of the Highlands
