Effigy presents CHEEKFACE plus special guests EMPEROR X and PLAYBOY MANBABY live at The Dome

America indie-rock trio, CHEEKFACE, celebrate the release of their all new album, ‘Podium’ - out TODAY - with a return to London this fall for the first time since their sell out UK tour of 2025. 

Cheekface are influenced by the great American talk-singers like Lou Reed, Jonathan Richman and Stephen Malkmus, British post-punk bands like Wire and The Fall and proto-indie bands like The dB’s and Minutemen. The trio chart their own course with their openhearted lyrics set against the backdrop of our chaotic world. To know Cheekface is to love Cheekface. So get involved.

Joining them is the exvangelical folk-punk sounds of US singer-songwriter, Emperor X, and the electrifying Playboy Manbaby, for a triple-bill of fresh and exciting alt, indie and punk fuelled fun.
