LIVE: THE BIG MOON – 28/04/2017

– DEAF INSTITUTE, MANCHESTER – Are you reading this because you are already on board with The Big Moon? If so, read on. If you are not already on board, especially read on. This London four-piece have released one of the great debut albums of 2017. It is one click away from your ears right […]
– GORILLA, MANCHESTER – White snow dresses Manchester’s Gorilla. What was at first a light flurry has quickly settled into a bed around Greg Gonzalez’s hushed weather. The Texan-native asks for someone he’s been waiting for to return to him, and with the words “stay with me,” Gonzalez expressionlessly falls for the big ‘she’ for […]

LIVE: CIGARETTES AFTER SEX – 18/04/2017

LIVE: PWR BTTM – 11/04/2017

– DEAF INSTITUTE, MANCHESTER – “Why does the UK hate warm water?” seems like such a perfectly phrased question about one of the more bonkers aspects of British society. And PWR BTTM’s first record, Ugly Cherries, is such a delectable listen, and my anticipation of a good time at Deaf tonight so high anyway, that […]
– GULLIVERS, MANCHESTER – Friday’s gig-going saw one hapless Mancunian scruff transition from flummoxed faulty-oven sort-of-repair man to cheerful possessor of a clutch of great new bands to recommend to people in the space of a few hours. Promoters Fat Plastic can always be relied upon to provide a lineup which combines a crop of […]

LIVE: INDIAN QUEENS/LAVENDER/DIVING STATION/RUNAH – 28/04/2017

LIVE: LOW LEAF – 25/04/2017

– BAND ON THE WALL, MANCHESTER – It is quite the feat when, as a self-described DIY musician, your performance repertoire includes sidling up to the worthy likes of Fly Lo, Robert Glasper and Roy Ayers. There have only been a few harpists on my radar over the years, yet all of whom I view […]
– GORILLA, MANCHESTER – Let’s get this out of the way upfront: Deafheaven are not a black metal band. Guitarist Kerry McCoy said that although clearly influenced by the sub-genre, they don’t really have “the ethos, the aesthetic or really the sound of one”. So there you have it: Deafheaven are not a black metal […]

LIVE: DEAFHEAVEN – 24/04/2017

LIVE: PALLBEARER – 09/04/2017

– THE RUBY LOUNGE, MANCHESTER – Found at heights greater than 20,000 feet, Cirrus Clouds are formed of narrow bands of white, delicate filament. Gifting painterly waves, they do little to diminish the brightness of the sun and fade as quickly as their fibrous bodies complete. The subdued, sonic equivalent of such formations ghosts Manchester’s […]
– THE RITZ, MANCHESTER – Soulwax’s 2004 album Any Minute Now was a bit of a seminal album for a 20 year old me. My previous excursions into electronic music had started at Radiohead’s Kid A and finished at Aphex Twin’s Selected Ambient Works – they were literally the only two electronic type albums I […]

LIVE: SOULWAX – 09/04/2017

LIVE: JESCA HOOP – 06/04/2017

– GORILLA, MANCHESTER – There is something undeniably special about a hometown gig. Adopted hometown it may be, but it is no less special to see Californian Chorlton-dweller Jesca Hoop on her own stomping ground. It’s certainly been a journey getting here for the American. A Mormon upbringing, a spell as nanny to Tom Waits’ […]
– THE BRIDGEWATER HALL, MANCHESTER – The last time I was at The Bridgewater Hall was well over half a decade ago for my graduation, so it feels like a special occasion of sorts. It doesn’t look too much different from what I remember – and I don’t remember much, I hardly remember it being a […]
