A FLOOD OF LIGHT

Your Mate Bookings in conjunction with The Vanguard and AMENRA Presents

A FLOOD OF LIGHT

“A Flood of Light” is an intimate look into the world of the Belgian post metal band AMENRA.

Amenra came into existence in 1999 as an offset of the Flemish hardcore scene and grew throughout the years to become a widely respected collective that is continuously pushing the envelope on what it means to be band.

Through uncommonly intense live shows, elaborate art work and fascinating collaborations with artists from a slew of disciplines, the band created a completely unique universe of their own, which reaches much further than just the musical side.

Photographer and videographer Bobby Cochran (°1972 California, USA) started following Amenra a few years ago on various tours of Europe, the United States, Australia and Asia. The result is an intimate portrait in which the band members and their closest collaborators reflect upon the past twenty years over stunning images and soul soothing music.

👉 Get in the Van – A Post COVID Revival of Live Music! 👈
YOUR MATE Bookings in conjunction with The Vanguard presents the return to the stage of COMACOZER.
As a part of the post COVID revival of the live music scene, Your Mate Bookings would like to welcome COMACOZER back to The Vanguard after not stepping foot on a stage since their support slot for Corrosion of Conformity in February 2020.
The Psychedelic Space Rock extra ordinaires had a few strong tours lined up for 2020 including support slots for Ukrainians Stoned Jesus and Somali Yacht Club, but due to the crisis, these tours could not go ahead.
However with new songs and a finely tuned stripped back set, the guys are ready to play again and this time you can watch them perform two sets in one evening.
The first set aka Space Travel (Session One) will be an acoustic set of all their works from the last five years. Pana will be jumping on the Cajon and Doumbek and the other guys will play with a chilled out space rock vibe.
The second set aka INTO THE VOID (Session Two) will be the usual set but for an hour and a half of no typical four band bill time restrictions and you can expect a trip into the void of the unknown of the infinite universe.
The COVID restrictions imposed by the government was very unsettling and caused a major dint in the music scene; however all involved being bookers, venues, bands and promoters will stop at nothing to repair this flourishing scene of talent, dedication and pure love for the arts of the world.
Comacozer will play two sets;
First (Space Travel): 6pm – 8.30pm & Second (Into the Void): 9.30pm – 12.00am
Expect lighting projections and psychedelics from these space travellers.
It will be a truly thrilling evening to be remembered.
Due to the current restrictions, this will be a seated event (Maximum of 50 persons per session) however The Vanguard kitchen will be open with many mouth watering snacks.
