Here's a clip from TWENTY ONE CHILDREN's ferocious and fast set in old Lamu town. It might look familiar if you've seen the videos we've posted of DEATH playing the same stage. The new EP "After the Storm" is out now on streaming platforms... and better yet, Bandcamp: sloven.ly/ATS-BC

We're Loud in Kenya was a full 10 days of music & parties. When waking up after long sleeps, we recall moments from what may have been our best edition yet. Here are some photos and videos from days 1 and 2 in Nairobi at Shelter & The Mall Rooftop. Our bands & DJS gave it their all!

Some scenes from our hangover lunch and our events on the coast! Stay tuned for more amazing footage!

DEATH in Lamu! No surprise that they ruled! They also did some reggae cuts from LAMB'S BREAD, and then hit us with some ROUGH FRANCIS. Stay tuned for a new slab from them in 2026 on Slovenly! It was an honor (and a blast!) to have the Hackneys with us in Kenya at We're Loud 2025.
