Where Else? (Margate)

Squid's music career began in humble circumstances, with the band forming in 2016 as an instrumental jazz band for a monthly night in Brighton. The band's sound has since evolved to incorporate influences from outsider punk to Fourth World, resulting in chaotic and incendiary live shows.

The band's big break came when producer Dan Carey invited them to his studio after hearing them at The Windmill in Brixton. This led to the release of several fine singles on Speedy Wunderground and the Town Centre EP in 2019, cementing their reputation as a unique and exciting band.

Now on their third album, Cowards, Squid continues to push the boundaries of their sound, exploring textures of folk, kosmische, psychedelia, jazz, and electronics. On Monday, 16 November 2026, they will be performing at Where Else? in Margate. Tickets are with the button beside the article.
