St Etienne SWX Bristol
Good gig - a welcome blast down memory lane - with some welcome new tracks from St Etienne. Occasionally hit sublime highs - with tracks such as Who Do You Think You Are. The band were on good form, and the set list was a good selection from their extensive back catalogue. Star deducted as the sound was a bit muddy for the first few songs, and Sarah’s voice was too low in the mix - the sound guys sorted it and the sound pretty good did the remainder.

Unbelievably good
Probably one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to. They were absolutely on fire, an eight piece line up which managed to keep the quirky electronic magic of their recorded output whilst blowing the room away with a live performance like I’ve never seen before. Razor sharp, tight and the most incredible drummer in town. Phenomenal performance!

Saint Etienne are a beloved London trio known for their elegant fusion of indie-pop, electronic music and nostalgic cultural storytelling. Formed in 1990 by Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs, with Sarah Cracknell joining soon after as lead vocalist, the band quickly developed a signature sound that blends shimmering synths, wistful melodies and a deep affection for British pop heritage. Their acclaimed debut album Foxbase Alpha (1991) introduced a dreamy blend of dance beats and kitchen-sink romance, followed by beloved releases such as So Tough (1993) and Tiger Bay (1994), records that showcased their gift for pairing sharp songwriting with rich, atmospheric production.
On stage and across their catalogue, Saint Etienne capture the spirit of everyday life with warmth, charm and a quietly cinematic touch. Their later albums — including Good Humor (1998), Words and Music by Saint Etienne (2012) and I’ve Been Trying to Tell You (2021) — continued to refine their identity, mixing nostalgia with forward-thinking electronic pop. With their distinctive sound, gentle emotional pull and affection for the details of modern British life, Saint Etienne remain one of the UK’s most enduring and artful alternative pop groups.
