We’re shining a light on some of the UK’s best skate shops, crews and brands with Skate Lates and for May 2022 we're stoked to host a special evening with London-based DIY skate brand Lovenskate. 

Join us for an evening of skating, screen printing workshops, free food & drinks, DJs and more. The Lovenskate team will be in attendance and we've got a cash for tricks session lined up, meaning you can be sure they'll throw down!

Kicking off at 6pm, we can't wait to see you there.

Partnering with our good friends at [Doc'n Roll Film Festival](https://www.docnrollfestival.com/), we're presenting a special screening of UNDERPLAYED, Stacey Lee’s documentary which examines gender inequality in the electronic dance music scene. 

![HOV_docnights202205_EXTRAS_1390x290_1.jpg](https://res.cloudinary.com/houseofvans/image/upload/v1652801993/HOV_docnights202205_EXTRAS_1390x290_1_a6c2cf6d8b.jpg)

The documentary features artists Sherelle, Mark Ronson, Nervo and Anna Lunoe and we'll also have a special Q&A before the screening. 

Join us for the movie on Thursday, May 26th from 7pm and stay tuned for the announcement of two DJ sets to follow the film. 

See you there!

Doc Nights: UNDERPLAYED

Kicking off this month's NEXT ERA showcase is headlining act, Bad Nerves. This 5-piece Powerpop-RocknRoll band from Essex caught the attention of DJ Annie Mac with their infectious melodies. Their single, ‘Can’t be Mine’, recently made it as one of her coveted ‘New Names’ picks. Next up is Clarence and the Modern Life, whose sharp lyrical delivery merges end of time nihilism with captivating optimism. Taking influence from The Clash, Gorillaz and David Bowie, Clarence’s tracks blur the lines of modern life. With stunning visuals, one man show, Lemonade Shoelace, will drop a set of sensory-dense, pop melodies delivered through futuristic styles. Lemonade is hitting it big on national radio and is currently teaming up with Peter Brien (Kojaque) on his debut EP. Wrapping up the stage is pop-tinged punk band, Reminders. With their energising sound, stamped as ‘beach punk’, Reminders throw you back to the place where punk was born – the ragged British seaside. 

Doors open at 7pm, grab tickets via the link above. This is a strictly over 18s event, tickets are free but don't guarantee entry. 
 
See you there!


Bringing you the latest in new music, NEXT ERA is stoked to present four fresh acts at the House of Vans LDN in May.
