Fresh from opening the NEU Stage at this year’s 2000trees, we sat down with the Bristol-based five-piece Kite Thief to chat about their upcoming EP and their advice for anyone just starting their journey building a band.

Hidden under a canopy of evergreen trees, a captivated audience swayed in time with the timber to SUDS’ chill tunes for a half hour of otherworldly refuge from the scorching sun.

Making their 2000trees debut, we got to chat with Lake Malice about their musical journey, learning on the job and everything they’ve got in store.
