Season to season, [there's] lots of interesting maximalist items. I bought the green glasses from here.

The rail of designer vintage is always really gorgeous. I bought a 'Head Coach' hockey hoodie from here and it's one of my favourite things I've ever thrifted.

I bought a lime green offensively fluorescent t-shirt, it's gross. I love it!

The men's section always has great shirts.

For American vintage pieces, cowboy boots and denim.

A little bit of everything good. You have to dig but there's always gold.

Where to Go Thrift Shopping in Bristol, According to Eva Lazarus

Chase & Status

London

Manchester

This one has such pure, magical, rave energy of past era’s. It also has an inclusive dance floor environment, which makes it a great place to solo-rave, if that’s what you’re after.

Great sound system and community culture, where they are always encouraging new promoters and emerging talent. Have never played there ourselves, but have attended as fans.

Home to the famous Warehouse Project. We’ve played there a lot and it’s by far one of the most epic venues in the UK, peaking at 10,000 capacity. It has big rave energy. 

Bristol is one of the best UK locations for bass music. It’s home to many of the iconic labels and producers of the scene and this venue is perfect to experience all the variations. 

We definitely could not leave this one out… Arguably the most legendary club in the UK and we’ve been lucky enough to have played there many times. We also did our RTRN II Fabric Album stream there in 2020 with the late, legendary, Skibadee. A moment that will always be sacred to us.

Our Carnival memories stretch back to the mid 90’s but for the past few years we’ve found ourselves at Shy FX’s ‘Digital Soundboy’ stage. The vibes are always right, we’ve had the fortune to play there several times & not many people put on a party like Shy.


The 6 Best Venues to Rave with Chase and Status 

Conducta

An amazing gallery space near Bristols Harbourside. Have been to countless exhibitions & talks there whilst growing up & they do a great job of amplifying a diverse range of culture.

When I was 15 I snuck out to play my first gig here, clanged a lot but have fond memories of the place. Really intimate basement bar & great club venue

Beautiful cider bar on a boat where I met my first manager & best friend a few years ago. Somewhere I would always go for food or drink before a hometown show

A venue in Bristol v close to my heart. Threw my first EP launch in 2016 here with a producer called Notion also from Bris & it was one of the best nights I’ve played to this day. We manage to sell out & energy in the room that day was crazy. It came full circle last year where I sold it out again on my record labels Klub Kiwi tour.

Close to where I grew up in Bristol, a park I have fond memories of being chased home by dogs from. A very serene, lowkey park which is perfect for a long walk & alone time. Also quite hilly & perfect for bike rides.

5* Pizza. Perfect balance of cosiness & intimacy with great lighting.

I played my first festival here for Love the saves day. But growing up here was a good escape from my mums trips to IKEA which were around the corner

A low key bar, tucked away as you enter stokes croft. Close to essentials such as Crofters rights & bilbos!!

Often when I’ve been booked to play in bristol, motion has been the homecoming location. One of my best shows came at sequences festival a few summers ago where I played in the courtyard
