Dr Zebo's Wheezy Club Live in Session at the Electric Bar
2025-08-17 14:00 - 16:00 | Komedia Bath, 22-23 Westgate St, Bath, BA1 1EP, United Kingdom
Dr Zebo’s music puts a new spin on the folk tradition mixed with a touch of Americana and early jazz as well as some original tunes from members of the band.

They often take the idea of a tune set – a string of jigs or reels played continuously – but mix music from different eras and backgrounds within the same set, to create a kaleidoscope of acoustic music from the last 120 years.

Anything is fair game to receive the Dr Zebo treatment – snippets of TV theme tunes, 60s and 70s pop songs along with stomping traditional dance tunes.

Film - VERMIGLIO Mauro Delpero, Italy / France / Belgium, 2024, 119m, 15, sub-titles, F-rated
2025-08-17 18:30 - 21:00 | Widcombe Social Club, Widcombe Hill, Bath, BA2 6AA
Italy, 1944. The tiny Alpine village of Vermiglio cowers under the weight of tradition that governs the lives of its inhabitants. The local schoolteacher Cesare oversees his seven offspring with an ironclad sense of preordination. His eldest and most docile daughter Lucia, apparently the only one without guilty secrets, is the most susceptible to the upheaval that the arrival of Pietro, a Sicilian deserter, brings. Before long she and Pietro are married, but what follows is a revelation from Pietro’s past which scandalises the village and inadvertently leads to Lucia’s casting aside the fate which threatened to stifle her.

Breathtakingly photographed with a rich palette of earthen hues, this historical domestic epic achieves something which so many films of its type ignore in favour of spectacle – a quiet realism that draws the viewer irresistibly into its world so that you feel like you are living life alongside the characters. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize (Silver Lion) at last year’s Venice Film Festival.

“Pulsates with harsh, anguished emotion, thanks in no small part to splendid visuals that make it the most beautiful film of the year” – The Daily Beast.

“…a richly compassionate, emotional and detailed drama of family secrets in the wartime Italian countryside… wonderfully acted with unaffected naturalism by its cast of professionals and newcomers” – The Guardian.

“It is magnetic and absorbing fare, and one of the finest dramas of the year” – Filmhounds.

Doors and bar at 5:30pm, film starts 6:30pm. Tickets – £9 / £7 concessions (members of WSC, Bath Film Society, Limpley Creative and The Arts Society Bath).

Tony Tulatimutte for Rejection
2025-08-19 18:30 - 21:00 | St Swithin’s Church, 37 The Paragon, Bath, BA1 5LY, United Kingdom
A very special complimentary evening with the author of the runaway fiction hit of 2025: Rejection!

This novel has taken Toppings’ bookselling cohort by storm. It’s brilliantly filthy, bitingly clever and comes from one of the brightest stars of contemporary fiction, Tony Tulathimutte. The National Book Award longlistee is visiting us all the way from the USA and we want to celebrate his latest book with as many of our readers as possible – so we’re offering places to this event free of charge!

If you reserve a place and cannot make it, please let us know by sending an email to bath@toppingbooks.co.uk or giving us a call at 01225 428111.

Sharply observant and outrageously funny, Rejection is a provocative plunge into the thorniest problems of modern life: sex, relationships, identity and the internet.

We see a tryhard male feminist’s passionate allyship turn to a furious and debilitating nihilism as he realizes, over thirty lonely years, that his feminism isn’t getting him laid; a young woman’s unrequited crush spirals into borderline obsession and the systematic destruction of both her sense of self and her group chat; and witness a shy late bloomer’s flailing efforts at a first relationship lead to a life-upending mistake. As these characters pop up in each other’s dating apps and social media feeds, or meet in dimly lit bars and bedrooms, they reveal the ways that our delusions can warp our desire for connection.

Written with the accomplished authority of a modern classic and the manic intensity of a losers’ manifesto, Rejection by Tony Tulathimutte radically redefines what it means to be rejected by lovers, friends, society and oneself.

Praise for Rejection:

‘Utterly inimitable’ RAVEN LEILANI

‘Unrelentingly brutal and gut-bustingly funny and spares no one’ CARMEN MARIA MACHADO

‘Symbiotically serious and funny’ MEGAN NOLAN

‘A book of mad, madcap genius’ GARTH GREENWELL

‘Most insane, funniest book I’ve ever read’ BOWEN YANG

‘Perverse, profane, and profound … will make your skin crawl’ Esquire, Best Books of the Year

‘With the prose-dial turned up to gasp-inducing Nabokov and Amis levels… one of the boldest works in recent memory’ Granta

‘Gutting… Cleverly satirizes a heartless world’ TIME, 100 Must-Read Books of the Year

Chase the Wild + The Vivas
2025-08-19 19:00 - 21:00 | Komedia Bath, 22-23 Westgate St, Bath, BA1 1EP, United Kingdom
Chase the Wild is a six-piece indie rock band based in Bath/Bristol. They draw influence from Australian and New Zealand indie bands such as Ocean Alley, Mako Road, and Sticky Fingers, as well as UK and US indie bands like The Strokes and Arctic Monkeys. Their sound blends the sunny, surf-inspired vibes of Australian indie with the slightly heavier UK indie/alt-rock scene, creating a distinctive fusion between Australian and UK indie music. Chase the Wild performs with infectious energy, enhanced by Freddie’s fun and engaging crowd interactions as a frontman, all combining to deliver a brilliant live show.

Formed in November 2023, they have gained significant momentum in a short time and recently supported Pentire at their sold-out Thekla show during the band’s second UK tour. Following the success of their first two singles, “Communication” and “Slide Away,” which have collectively surpassed 25,000 streams and been played on radio stations such as BBC Introducing in the South West, BBC Radio Bristol, and Amazing Radio, as well as being featured in Baby Steps Magazine, Chase the Wild is set to build on their momentum with their third single, “Nightmare”

The Vivas are an emerging indie rock band hailing from the southwest of England, known for their vibrant energy, gritty guitar-driven sound, and honest, anthemic songwriting. Formed in the summer of 2023, the band quickly found chemistry through a shared love of British indie rock icons like The Libertines, Inhaler, and The Royston Club.

What began as a casual hobby between friends has rapidly evolved into a serious creative project, fuelled by a passion for live performance and a deep bond formed through music. The band thrives on the thrill of the stage, combining sharp melodies with infectious choruses and raw, youthful spirit. Their dynamic sets are already earning them a reputation for tight musicianship and genuine connection with their audiences.

Kodachrome + Butane Skies
2025-08-20 19:00 - 21:00 | Komedia Bath, 22-23 Westgate St, Bath, BA1 1EP, United Kingdom
Kodachrome are an emerging Rock Prog/Pop band from Bristol, led by 18 year old twins Ava & Conan. No nepo-babies, this talented group of young musicians have really paid their dues; from the smallest venues, halls and fetes (over 2- 3 years) to headlining major Rock venues & music festivals right across the South West of England. Their material is made up of a mix of own material – moody and complex structures that build in intensity – along with some dynamic and unusual covers. Bringing a marriage of theatre and Indie with very high levels of performance and musicality.

Butane Skies defy easy categorisation — fusing elements of 2000s post-hardcore with the classical tinges of symphonic rock, this Frome-based band is certainly one to keep an eye on. The lineup consists of singer and guitarist Ash Ray, bassist Mia Mallozzi-Corner, and sibling duo Amaya (keys and violin) and Alex Murguialday (drums). After winning Riverbank Chippenham’s ‘Take The Stage’ competition in 2024, they had a successful run of festival gigs and shows at local venues. More recently, they began the process of recording an EP and have a single already on the way.
