Xav Clarke live at Big Shot

Join indie-rock sensation Xav Clarke for an unforgettable album launch at Big Shot Diner in Margate! 🎉 Experience a full band show that promises to blend homespun philosophical lyrics with cinematic fuzzy soundscapes. Influenced by renowned artists like Morgan Nagler, King Tuff, Big Thief, and Billy Nomates, Xav's music takes you on a whimsical journey filled with dreamy atmospheres.

Having released his last album, Fossil Forest, independently under Jurassic Kid Records in 2025, Xav has captivated audiences with singles like Bluebells, often featured on BBC 6 by Cerys Matthews. As he gears up for the follow-up album in 2026, expect the enticing single DVD Region 3—a collaboration with Milly Upton—that dives into film-noise nostalgia and the quest for story through the quirks of life. 🎥✨

Don't miss out on a night where Xav's award-winning compositional skills—currently featured in the upcoming Pokémon series by Aardman—and his off-kilter songwriting converge for a truly unique experience.

Catch him mixing the cinematic qualities of The Flaming Lips with the heartfelt storytelling of Neil Young and Kurt Vile.
