Miki Berenyi Trio are Miki Berenyi on vocals/guitar (Lush), Kevin ‘Moose’ McKillop on guitar (Moose) and Oliver Cherer (Gilroy Mere, Aircooled). The three musicians first worked together during Piroshka’s 2021 tour – Miki and Kevin being founder members, Oliver coming in on bass to replace Mick Conroy (Modern English) who had moved to the US.
When the global pandemic made touring impossible, Miki spent the lockdown months writing her memoir, Fingers Crossed, released in 2022 to widespread acclaim. To provide some musical accompaniment for the string of book events and signings, Miki Berenyi Trio was formed.
The band has developed a momentum of its own, touring with the Wedding Present and Gang of Four and sold out London co-headline show with Aircooled. Miki Berenyi Trio are planning to record and release an album in 2024.

Swirling guitars, cascading drums, combined with a strong stance on cis and non-cis genders and sexualities - Cambridge quartet Lemondaze have fast become one of the most intriguing and exciting bands to emerge from the U.K underground. Their transcendental brand of shoegaze has won them fans in the form of members from Ride, Wolf Alice and Lush, thanks to a hushed female vocal layered over a distorted backdrop that has been likened to artists ranging from Deftones to My Bloody Valentine.
