Bad Vibrations Presents…Whistlejacket – Saturday 4th July
Posted June 24, 2015
The last time we saw Whistlejacket was when the guys opened for DIIV’s intimate post Field Day show under the railway arches in Bethnal Green – and it was bloody great. Fresh from Induro Festival in Portugal and slated to play at Secret Garden Party, the band will be headlining their own show here at The Waiting Room courtesy of Bad Vibrations. Entry is free and it takes place on the 4th of July, the holiest of holidays, so save the date! RSVP here.
Okay Kaya – Monday July 13th
Posted June 22, 2015
Parallel Lines brings the heat, as always, to the Waiting Room on Monday, July 13th with the London debut of Okay Kaya. The New York-based artist who originally hails from Norway is a newcomer, one that however has not failed to see some exciting early markers of success. Having just recently signed to Hot Charity Records, the songwriter opened up for a string of North American Tobias Jesso Jr. tour dates this past spring.
We here at the Waiting Room are now truly excited to bring you the artist’s stripped down guitar and vocal-driven set. Doors are at 7:30pm and tickets will be on sale very soon.

Ulrika Spacek & The Parrots – Thursday June 25th
Posted June 17, 2015
Bad Vibrations is proud to present the recently formed Ulrika Spacek for their first-ever headline slot. The London band delivered a hypnotic set opening up for Doug Tuttle at the Shacklewell Arms a little while back, presenting little doubt of their capability to now deftly handle a headline set. Also playing are the highly anticipated The Parrots, a garage rock trio hailing from Madrid who “manage to capture the very essence of early noughties Indie music with such veracity that it leaves one dumbfounded and pondering whether or not time travel has actually occurred” – the405.
This one is free, so you’re welcome. But you should still grab a ticket here via Billetto. And RSVP on that Facebook thing right here.
