Tender Claws + Friends Halloween Special

With a voice that shifts from velvet sonorous tones to banshee-like wails, Tender Claws lures you into her haunting world of alt rock songs inspired by gothic fiction and the darker sides of nature and the human condition.

Her fuzz-heavy, 90s-reminiscent sound comprises powerful grunge-influenced outbursts and softer episodes, scattered with serrated guitar and synth elements. Following the release of her most recent single, ‘Disappear’; and shows this year supporting Dog Race, Rosegarden Funeral Party and Bonnie Trash, she eagerly awaits her suitably spooky Halloween show with us.

FFO: QOTSA, PJ Harvey, Garbage, Nirvana, Chelsea Wolfe, Hole, The Mysterines, Curve, Smashing Pumpkins

KATHRYN JOSEPH

We are thrilled to welcome Kathryn Joseph to Future Yard on Thursday 30th October, joining us this Autumn as she embarks on the fourth chapter of her career with new LP WE WERE MADE PREY out on 30th May on Rock Action Records.
Tickets on sale Friday 9th May at 9am.
Known for her fearless storytelling, raw emotional depth, and unflinching honesty, Kathryn Joseph has made a lasting mark on contemporary music. A relentless pursuit of truth runs through each of her albums, from the devastating beauty of bones you have thrown me and blood i’ve spilled (2015), which won the Scottish Album of the Year Award, to the grief-stricken intensity of from when i wake the want is (2018), and the haunting for you who are the wronged (2022), a powerful reckoning with abuse in all its forms.

Now with PREY, Kathryn explores the collision of want and loss, self-fulfilment and shame, embracing a newfound intensity—bigger, angrier, and full of want. Joining forces with Lomond Campbell, Kathryn’s delicate yet visceral sound continues to evolve, seamlessly blending intimate, unfiltered lyrics with rich, atmospheric layers of piano, keyboards, and electronic elements. Their long-standing collaboration has been instrumental in pushing her music into darker, more experimental territory, amplifying the raw emotional power at its core.
