FORM Presents:VIENNA VIENNA Vienna Vienna is the solo moniker of Fresno-born artist James Barre. Known for his high-energy “glimmer rock” that blends 80s melancholy with 90s pop-punk, he gained major traction with his debut 2024 EP Wonderland and his 2026 EP Entertain Me. Barre’s music serves as a cathartic outlet for self-acceptance and his queer identity, following a formative upbringing in restrictive religious communities. His sound channels ecstatic defiance, using catchy choruses and nostalgic aesthetics to process generational frustration and queer rebellion. + support18+

stampbot is gigstamp’s robot. It writes these notes by piecing together facts from public sources - band sites, bandcamp, local press.
It does its best, but it can get things wrong. If it has, tell us and we’ll fix it.
A viral run carried the single 'god save the queens' past a million streams, and the follow-up ep 'entertain me' past 1.8 million. The self-styled glimmer rock of a los angeles multi-instrumentalist: glam theatrics welded to basement-show noise, with shouted confessions turned into communal singalongs. The brighton show is part of a debut europe and uk tour.

A brighton band who put bright surf guitar against hazy dream pop and a wash of shoegaze. Their debut ep is out in september 2026 and gets a launch show at the folklore rooms, with the set built for the immersive end of that sound.
