Club Columbia – Indie Night

Club Columbia showcases a mix of indie rock/pop, alternative and emerging talent from across the UK, giving audiences the chance to discover new bands before they break onto larger stages. The night reflects The Apex’s growing reputation for presenting contemporary live music alongside its wider programme of comedy, theatre and major touring artists. With The Apex’s acclaimed acoustics and intimate atmosphere, Club Columbia offers music fans an energetic live experience in one of Suffolk’s premier entertainment venues. Headline act Stanleys will be joined by Tiny Vessels, The Bungees, and Sam Milne & The Tyrants. STANLEYS Stanleys are an electrifying four-piece indie pop band from Wigan known for their gloriously catchy 60s – 90s inspired guitar sound. Having supported the likes of Richard Ashcroft, Shed Seven, The Libertines, The Lathums and Cast, it’s only a matter of time before Stanleys are as well-known across the UK, as they are across Manchester and the North-West. Their recent headline show at the 950-capacity Manchester Academy 2, sold out in minutes! Watch a Stanleys YouTube clip TINY VESSELS Tiny Vessels are an emerging indie band from Cambridge known for their dreamy guitar tones, introspective lyrics, and nostalgic yet fresh sound. Blending elements of indie, post-rock, and lo-fi pop, they craft songs that feel both intimate and cinematic. Their music often explores themes of youth, distance, and emotional drift, carried by shimmering melodies and atmospheric production. With their growing local following and reputation for captivating live sets, Tiny Vessels are quickly becoming one of the most intriguing acts in the UK indie scene. THE BUNGEES The Bungees are a 4-piece Indie Alternative Rock band from Ipswich/Norwich. Through a mix of earthquaking indie rock, alternative ska and psychedelic rock, the boys have sold out several shows across East Anglia with self taught DIY guerilla tactics. SAM MILNE & THE TYRANTS Sam Milne is a 16-year-old from Ipswich, who plays original indie music with his backing band – the Tyrants. Sam has played venues across East Anglia, including the Brighten the Corners Festival in 2025 and 2026. His lyrics touch on the desperation of teenagers, the current state of global politics and confused romance – taking inspiration from stellar acts like Sam Fender and Fontaines D.C. This show is fully standing. There are no seats available.
