About The Wytches
Hailing from the very streets of Brighton, The Wytches have carved a distinctive niche in the alternative rock landscape since their formation in 2011. Comprising Kristian Bell on guitar and vocals, Daniel Rumsey on bass, and Gianni Honey on drums, the trio quickly garnered attention for their unique blend of surf-grunge, psychedelic rock, and a palpable undercurrent of gothic intensity. Their sound is often described as a swirling maelstrom of distorted riffs, propulsive rhythms, and Bell’s signature raw, often anguished vocals.
Their 2014 debut album, ‘Annabel Dream Reader’, unleashed a torrent of critical acclaim, establishing them as a force to be reckoned with. Tracks like “Digsaw” and “C-Side” showcased their ability to craft both blistering anthems and brooding, atmospheric pieces. This was followed by 2016’s ‘All Your Happy Life’, which further refined their sound, delving deeper into their psych-rock tendencies while retaining their characteristic ferocity. Their latest offering, ‘Three Mile Ditch’, released in 2020, demonstrated a maturity and continued evolution, cementing their status as innovators within the genre. The Wytches are renowned for their electrifying live shows, where their recorded intensity is amplified tenfold, creating a truly immersive and visceral experience.
DUST: The Perfect Setting
Nestled in the beating heart of Brighton, just a stone’s throw from the main train station at BN1 1NF, DUST is rapidly becoming the city’s go-to venue for intimate and impactful live music experiences.

It occupies a beautifully renovated industrial space, retaining a raw, authentic charm that perfectly complements the city’s artistic spirit.
With a capacity designed for connection rather than overwhelming crowds, DUST offers an unparalleled opportunity to get up close and personal with your favourite artists.

Its central location makes it incredibly easy to reach, solidifying its place as a key player in Brighton’s vibrant cultural tapestry.

The stage production at DUST, while intimate, will be perfectly tailored to enhance The Wytches’ sound.
