The Spiel

Sidney & Matilda Presents: Jesus and the Zealots + Gelder On their 2025 single Baby In The Cupboard, Music Is To Blame Magazine wrote: "London baroque-goth outfit Jesus and the Zealots are back with the deliciously haunting 'Baby in the Cupboard' - a self-proclaimed product of several years of live performances. A fan favourite when performed live - the track is a complex, twisted ride of distorted guitars and heavy synth. One cannot help but feel taken in by the opening riff, an echoing, gothic call to arms reminiscent of the hypnotising pull of Siouxie and the Banshee's iconic 'Spellbound'. The whispering, vocals of frontman Henri haunt the minimalist instrumental - a menacing sneer with a bubbling undercurrent of an overbearing, shaking fear. The expansive space of the sound contrasting the claustrophobic lyrics - "I've been putting baby in the cupboard / He gets what he deserves, he kept me up all night." The space of the song is a dark, damp, abandoned building - the song a slow, maddening drip drip drip on cold, wet stone." £5 ADV / £8 OTD Doors - 7pm
