Roundtable Collective presents...

Red Velvet Rock at the Hope & Anchor: A Heavy Dose of Underground Grunge and Alt-Rock

Looking to escape the pop-heavy airwaves and dive straight into a sweaty, loud basement full of buzzing riffs? Roundtable Collective is pulling out all the stops for "Red Velvet Rock," a curated multi-band rock n' roll ceremony cutting through the noise on Friday, August 14th.

They are taking over the legendary, blood-tinted basement of Islington’s Hope & Anchor—a sacred live-music landmark that historically birthed the UK's punk and new wave golden eras. The night promises to deliver an authentic slice of London's raw, alternative underbelly with a killer four-band billing that hits hard from doors to curfew.
