Alternative, heavy-hitters and DIY to the core, Callis’ true northern work ethic, filled with grit and fueled with a passion for independent art has seen them self-organise shows in the capital, curate their own artwork, handmake merchandise and even catch the attention of Strokes producer, Gordon Raphael. Attending a Callis live performance is similar to accidentally joining a cult. After the first couple of songs, the audience will find themselves in the middle of something, wondering how they got there.
