A high-energy indie rock act from the local scene.
Strutting the tightrope between indie rock and psychedelic funk with a sax in one hand and a megaphone in the other, A.R.T are the five-piece electrifying London’s underground. Known for turning gigs into full-blown parties, their shows are sweaty, explosive and joyously unhinged — equal parts rock concert and groove-fuelled circus. Formed in 2018 by frontman Alfie Clayton (ex-Skinner Brothers & ex Laurie wright drummer who’s toured with Kasabian, The Streets, Noel Gallagher, The Stranglers and Johnny Marr), A.R.T channel the strut of The Hives, the soul of James Brown and the indie charm of Catfish and the Bottlemen — all tied together with a shot of British cheek and chaotic energy. Rooted in London’s DIY scene, A.R.T thrive on community: every gig shapes the next song, and every track evolves in real time. With a sax-driven sound, wild charisma and an unrelenting groove, they don’t just play gigs — they throw parties. With sold-out shows at MOTH Club and Scala under their belt, and KISS FM calling them “Bowie meets The Killers,” A.R.T are leading the new wave of London’s underground — bold, colourful, and impossible to stand still to.
