Thrilled to be hosting this incredible extended afternoon shindig at Tap Social on Sunday 5th July! We have five amazing acts to make this sunny July matinee show a beautiful time!
Headliners nathy sg are an indiepop supergroup made up of members of Martha/Onsind/Fortitude Valley/Tigercats/Supermilk/Honey Joy and probably loads more! Sunny and wry indiepop singalong tunes fronted by literally the nicest person in the world.
Jay Cavalier and the Band (aka Jay Cavalier Band) are an England-based "bedroom stadium rock" group, comprised of the absolute best musicians that band leader Jay Cavalier could persuade. Musically they've been compared to Billy Bragg, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Petty. Project co-writer, today’s headliner, and self-appointed "scene legend" Nathy SG says JCB is "A welcome addition to the Nathan Stephens-Griffin Extended Universe".
Junk Whale - Oxford rockers playing fuzzy emo tunes like the ones you liked when you were a teenager, but about being tired thirty-somethings. The band are back with a new EP full of fun and upbeat singalong bangers about mental illness, grief and friendship breakups.
Z-x is Divine Schism’s Rich’s solo project. Very different vibes to his band Sinews - this is sad lofi electronic indie pop in the vein of Postal Service, Xiu Xiu, or Casiotone for the Painfully Alone.
Aftercare are one of Oxford’s newest and most exciting bands - blending shoegaze and emo in a fresh way and everyone show is buzzing with energy!
This gig is at Oxford’s Tap Social, which is a beautiful, wheelchair accessible venue, and the show is open to all ages with under 14s accompanied by an adult.

Nathy sg is the solo project of north east songwriter nathan stephens-griffin, a diy veteran best known for his work in martha, onsind, and fortitude valley. Emotionally direct, melodic alt-rock built on two decades of punk ethics and independent spirit. Their 2026 collection 'selected transient works 23-26' gathers all their songs to date in one place.
“he's spent more than twenty years writing, touring and keeping the spirit of independent music alive.”

An england-based bedroom stadium rock group led by drummer jay cavalier, building a catalogue of big, anthemic singles — including 'new river' and 'always inbetween' — with a diy spirit and a full-length lp in the works. Radio dj shaun keaveny is among their early champions. A visiting act from london playing tap social's family-friendly alt-rock afternoon.
“somewhere between bragg and springsteen”

Oxford four-piece playing fuzzy, hook-driven emo and indie-pop, with all four members sharing vocal duties and a diy spirit running through everything they do. Their self-released 2025 six-track ep 'see you around, i guess?' earned them fans at get in her ears and scene music media, and their early 2026 two-tracker 'lime n soda / old tomato' is their freshest release.
“finds the band levelling up their sound without sacrificing the diy charm”

An oxfordshire singer-songwriter whose music sits in acoustic folk and americana territory, built around candid, personal storytelling. His 2018 single 'stories from the past' — produced at milkman studios — gives a good sense of the warm, heartfelt writing at the core of his work.
