‘Smile and Wave’ EP out now :) The colourful, kaleidoscopic sounds of Brighton jangle-psych band Hutch are suffused with whimsy and a desire to break free from the mundane. Setting their stall on celebrating the wonders of the natural world and their own giddying adventures within it, snails, rainbows, wintry lakes and radiator shops rank high among the band's subject matters of choice. Formed by Jack Pritchard, Dan Shepherd, Charlie Bogg, Owen Bullock - with Eva Lunny guesting on Harp and Synth for studio recordings - Hutch have been gigging prodigiously since their live debut in 2021, regularly selling out venues in their native Brighton. Currently in the midst of a 13 date EU/UK tour with Gitkin, the band have recently earned support slots with legendary psych bands Love and Os Mutantes, in addition to shows with Yín Yín, Do Nothing, Oracle Sisters, Trudy and the Romance, Surprise Chef and Personal Trainer. Performing at this year's The Great Escape, last summer saw them reach the longlist for Glastonbury's Emerging Talent Competition and hit the stages of Dot to Dot, Victorious and 2000 Trees festivals.
