Step into the surreal as Erotic Secrets of Pompeii headline The Sunflower Lounge on Friday, 5th December, delivering their signature brand of wild, weird apocalyptic lounge music.
Erotic Secrets of Pompeii + Kontours
Friday, 5th December 2025
The Sunflower Lounge, Birmingham
Doors Open: 7:30 pm
Fusing angular art rock with transgressive post-punk, the band conjures a sonic world steeped in grotesque imagery and vivid symbolism, drawing inspiration from the likes of Lynch, Dali, Cronenberg and Mapplethorpe.
Their debut EP Trash Jugular turned heads in 2022, followed by a UK tour, festival appearances at Boomtown and Bearded Theory, and a support slot with Electric Six. With debut album Mondo Maleficum due in January, this is a chance to catch them before they explode.
Joining them are Birmingham’s own Kontours, bringing raw, riff-heavy rock energy to the bill, and Ben Brown, the newest signing to Xtra Mile Recordings. Known for his sharp wit, raucous charm and infectious songwriting, Ben’s past projects (Dingus Khan, SuperGlu) earned praise from BBC tastemakers like Steve Lamacq and Huw Stephens. Now stepping out solo, he’s ready to win over new fans with a set full of grin-inducing bangers.
Expect a night of theatrical chaos, sonic experimentation and unfiltered charisma. Advance tickets are highly recommended and are available now.
