Name, where are you from?
Danny Nedelko, Bristol via Ukraine.
What do you do?
Frontman in Heavy Lungs.
Describe your style in three words:
Post Odessa Chic.
Which British subcultures have influenced you the most?
Oasis.
Why are independent music venues so important?
A wise man once said, "If you book them, they will come.” Without the independent venues, where would 'they' go?
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
Idles at the Fleece last year. It was the homecoming show of the Brutalism tour and truly an incredible gig. Also it was the night when the final puzzle in forming Heavy Lungs fell into place so that evening holds a special sentimental value for me as well.
To celebrate the opening of our new Coal Drops Yard shop, we've teamed up with indie trailblazers Crack Magazine to create ‘Departures’ – a zine and online series featuring five creatives and the journeys that have shaped them.
