Baby Smith bring their psychedelic indie sound to Three Tanners Bank

Baby Smith at Three Tanners Bank brings the Australian duo’s hazy mix of psychedelic pop, grunge and melodic indie to North Shields on Friday 18 September 2026. The show takes place at Three Tanners Bank, with doors at 7pm, giving North East audiences an early chance to catch a band whose sound draws on both 1960s psychedelia and the heavier edges of 1990s alternative rock.

Baby Smith is built around Ray Sonder and Saxon Gable, who grew up on Australia’s east coast before later meeting in Berlin. Their shared musical background comes through in songs that balance bright melodies with a rougher, more emotional edge. Although the project only took shape in 2023, the pair had already spent years writing, experimenting and playing in other bands before bringing Baby Smith together.

The North Shields date gives the band a suitably intimate setting. Three Tanners Bank has become an important stop for touring alternative and indie acts, and the venue’s smaller room should suit Baby Smith’s more immediate live sound. Their shows have developed a reputation for moving between dreamy passages and louder, more direct moments, so this is one for anyone who likes indie music with a slightly psychedelic twist.

Promoter and ticketing information currently lists the show for Friday 18 September, with doors at 7pm. Tickets are available through Gigantic, while the venue’s own listings can be checked through Three Tanners Bank.

With the band continuing to build momentum across the UK and Europe, the North Shields show should offer a good snapshot of where Baby Smith are heading next. Expect strong melodies, distorted textures and plenty of live energy in one of the coast’s most active grassroots rooms.

Event details can change, so check the venue, promoter or artist channels before travelling for the latest timings and ticket information.
