Live – Cosmorat | crysometimes | Kate Peaches at The Rossi Bar

Cosmorat, crysometimes & Kate Peaches at The Rossi Bar, Brighton, 21st August 2025

The collaboration between promoters Hidden Herd and Parallel Lines is shaping up to be a quality addition to Brighton’s breakthrough music offering. Following the success of the inaugural show featuring Velvetine, Swallowtail and Le Lamb, last week saw the second event draw on more local talent. Kicking things off, Kate Peaches donned a nun’s veil and brought echoes of Vanity Fairy’s irreverent glam to the stage, pulling in an early crowd. Next up, crysometimes, who have graced the Hidden Herd stage multiple times before, seem to have fine-tuned their set to a point where the crowd knows the songs and is ready to jump in with additional melodies to enhance their pop-punk sensibilities. Singer Megan made a second appearance later in the evening, guesting with headliners Cosmorat – speaking of whom, firstly, I’m not entirely sure how they all fitted on the tiny stage and secondly, their energy was unbounded as they ploughed through their set filled with indie-pop-folk-grunge (did I miss anything?) tunes. By their final number, party mode was in full swing, leaving a happy crowd behind and a sense that all bodes well for future events – gallery below.
