About Cube Cinema

This is the background on Cube Cinema, from the venue and its listings. It books experimental, electronic and improvised acts. The notes below sum up what the venue and its listings say.

Cube Cinema is a grassroots music venue in Kingsdown, Bristol. It books Experimental, Electronic, Improvised; originals and covers are both welcome.

Listing notes

The ‌​‌​‍Cube has been running in Kingsdown since 1998, when it was formed by 4 artists. It calls itself a microplex, arts venue and independent museum, and every job needed to keep it open seven days a week is done by volunteers. Music sits alongside film in the programme, with a lean towards the experimental: recent and upcoming listings include improvised and electronic acts, early-electronics evenings and the QWAK club series, with most shows starting at 7pm or 8pm. The entrance is on Dove Street South, just off King Square. Music enquiries go to music@cubecinema.com.
