For Thursday 5 and Friday 6 November, MOTH Club offers a concise view of its present-day purpose: a room where touring indie artists arrive with enough supporting cast to make a short run feel like a small festival. Colin Miller takes Thursday’s 7:30pm slot, followed by Kiwi Jr. at 7pm on Friday. The setting gives both bills an unusually tactile frame. MOTH Club occupies the Old Trades Hall on Valette Street, a former ex-servicemen’s club whose gold-glitter ceiling, chevron panelling, regimental shields, red booths and tinsel-backed stage remain central to the room’s character.[1][2][3]

That mixture of inherited décor and current guitar music is the point of this week’s pairing. Time Out records the hall’s 1972 opening and its later conversion into a gig space by local events agency LNZRT; the venue’s own materials retain the older club’s physical details with striking clarity. Across the November 5–8 window, MOTH Club’s two selected nights make its booking identity easy to read: artists with distinct catalogues and touring routes, presented in a hall built for proximity, conversation and the little shifts in atmosphere that disappear in larger rooms.[1][3]

Thursday, 5 November: Colin Miller’s close-focus bill

Colin Miller heads Thursday with lifepath99, H. Pruz and Elijah Wolf. Miller’s own page places him in Asheville, North Carolina, and lists MOTH Club as a November 5 stop amid a UK run. His catalogue includes Losin’, Haw Creek, Shrine and Cut the Field; those titles signal a songwriter’s bill with space for detail, an apt fit for a hall whose raised stage sits directly against that gold curtain. The Creative Independent describes Miller as a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer, framing his work through place, memory and collaboration. His supporting lineup gives the evening a multi-artist shape from the outset instead of treating the opening sets as mere preamble.[2][4][6]

The useful practical appeal lies in the scale of the encounter. Miller’s material has a documented home in Asheville while the show itself forms part of a brief British sequence, following Brighton and Bristol dates and preceding Norwich, Manchester and Leeds. MOTH Club is the London point in that route: a room with a dance floor and booths, seven minutes’ walk from Hackney Central. Arrive for the 7:30pm start and let the full bill establish the evening’s pace.[1][4]

Friday, 6 November: Kiwi Jr. bring a fresh record to Hackney

Friday shifts from Miller’s rooted, songwriter-led frame to Kiwi Jr.’s brisker band format. Kiwi Jr. headline with Alien Boy and Bone China at 7pm. The group’s official site identifies Blowin’ Up as its 2026 release, following Chopper, Cooler Returns and Football Money. Their Bandcamp page places the MOTH Club date at the beginning of a run through Leeds, Brighton, Brussels, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Paris, making the Hackney show the first London entry in a wider European sweep.[5][7]

Blowin’ Up gives the night a clear current reference point. Released on August 14, 2026, the ten-track album includes “Photos Of The Reenactment,” “Hard Drive, Ontario,” “Pure Michigan” and “Landscape With Limousine,” with the band credited as Brohan Moore, Jeremy Gaudet, Brian Murphy and Mike Walker. Those specific song-worlds make Friday feel like a useful snapshot of a group in active release mode, while Alien Boy and Bone China keep the bill aligned with the venue’s appetite for full, three-act indie nights. MOTH Club’s glittered veterans’-hall backdrop supplies the kind of visual memory that a touring club date can carry home.[1][5][7]
