About the show
Quit Your Job Start A Band presents The Understudies, with support from Andrew Bobby Laidlaw of Lucky Soul.
Returning to the stage for the first time in 2026 at their London venue of choice The Betsey Trotwood, The Understudies have re-emerged with a new single 'Soho' ("layered backing vocals and a swaying band performance of glistening guitars and swaying suave instrumentals" - God Is In The TV Zine) and even more new material. With more gigs and more material to follow, this is a chance to liven up your late-summer Saturday evening with the sextet often described as one of the best live bands in London.
Support comes from Andrew Bobby Laidlaw, songwriter and guitarist for the much-loved Lucky Soul. After spending a few years out of the spotlight, we're thrilled to be hosting Andrew making his solo debut at this special gig.
Featuring - The Understudies
In an Indie world where lo-fi is the order of the day, it's nice to occasionally hear something a bit less scuzzy and a little more polished.
Fortunately The Understudies are here to fulfil that need with their beautifully crafted indiepop. The quartet, who hail from London and Glasgow, count two singers, a boy (Brian) and a girl (Bree) in their midst and employ a variety of instruments, including a glockenspiel, violin and tambourine.
Using everything at their disposal to magnificent effect, they have produced a full rich sound that sits somewhere between the Beautiful South and the Tindersticks.
