UPDATE June 19th: Unfortunately, following a family bereavement in the band, Steven Adams and The French Drops have had to pull out of Wednesday’s show at The Lexington.

We’re devastated for them, and send them our condolences at this difficult time.

If you’d bought a ticket specifically to see Steven Adams & The French Drops, please get in touch with WeGotTickets or Dice to arrange a refund.

The show must go on though - and we’re delighted to be able to introduce our new headliners: THE WAVE PICTURES. 

We’re hugely grateful to them to be able to make this last minute addition, and hugely excited to see them play in the intimate surrounds of The Lexington again.

Fika Recordings proudly presents the return of annual Winter Sprinter! Four nights and twelve bands - the perfect antidote to the January blues in the intimate surroundings of The Lexington.

Tickets £12 adv + bf from Dice and from WeGotTickets. Cheaper 4 day passes exclusively from WeGotTickets.

THE WAVE PICTURES
The Wave Pictures are David Tattersall, Franic Rozycki and Jonny “Huddersfield” Helm. Formed in 1998 when Franic and David lived in a village called Wymeswold, the band played with several drummers until Jonny became a permanent member in 2003 replacing Hugh J Noble. In the beginning the band learned to play together by covering Jonathan Richman songs but soon David was writing lots of original material. They have since released five studio albums to critical acclaim and played numerous sessions on BBC 6 Music, Radio 1 and Xfm. The interest generated by these recordings has enabled The Wave Pictures to play shows all over the world with artists including Jeffrey Lewis, Darren Hayman, Stanley Brinks, Freschard and Herman Dune.

CRAKE
An alt-folk four piece from the city of Leeds in northern England, Crake write melodic and (sometimes) hopeful songs about flora, fauna, anxiety and the tough stuff. Formed on the cusp of 2016/17 after a New Year’s Eve pact, Crake spent their first couple of years playing locally with loose-line-up changes and self-releasing two EPs, toured Europe with Big Thief and released with Saddle Creek records.

ATHABASKA
Athabaska are a dreamy alt-folk/indie group fronted by Suggested Friends’ Faith, a joy of heart-warming shimmering folk-strewn musicality and luscious sweeping harmonies
