-YES, MANCHESTER- After listening to Cabbage over the past couple of years or so, I knew there was something I was personally missing. Certain music press were raving about them being the band we needed, pushing a political mess into people’s faces. For myself, just hearing their recordings, I wasn’t completely on board the “Cabbage […]
-ACADEMY, MANCHESTER- When it comes to deciding on a support band, Miles Kane couldn’t have gone for a better choice than Manchester’s own Cabbage – especially in a Mancunian venue in which their energetic, self-proclaimed ‘semi punk’ performance has the crowd on each other’s shoulders and pitting within two songs of their set. Somehow they […]
-THE RITZ, MANCHESTER- Glamour at the Ritz is a night that would get any Manchester music fan frothing. Ten bands spread across two excellent live rooms – one massive, one small – over the course of 5 hours… paradise. Well, if your paradise consists of aggressive punk rock, high energy activity both on and off […]
-MANCHESTER ART GALLERY- Cabbage are a guitar band, and any band (not just a guitar band) would not usually be found in an art gallery. Manchester Art Gallery however, is the venue that was chosen for Cabbage’s Nihilistic Glamour Shots show. It is a very interesting yet mysterious venue. Upon entering, guests queue around the […]

Co-starring cult Manchester busking band The Piccadilly Rats, the video was shot earlier this month in Piccadilly Gardens and directed by Dom Foster. In the words of the band, “THE BROTHERHOOD HAS EVOLVED! We took to the streets of […]
‘Kevin’ is the new single from Cabbage, recently released on Infectious Music. ‘Kevin’ is a re-recording of the lead track from their 2016 debut ‘Le Chou EP’. A fan favourite and Cabbage’s live set closer, ‘Kevin’ was produced by James Skelly & Rich Turvey (Blossoms, She Drew The Gun) at Liverpool’s Parr Street Studios. “LORD […]
Off The Record, launched by three of the UK’s premiere independent music festivals, Kendal Calling, Sound City and Bluedot, and music site Louder Than War, is all about innovative ideas, new music and emerging artists. By day, it features a music conference at the Methodist Central Hall, curated by Sound City and Louder Than War, […]
Cabbage have the new video for ‘Celebration Of A Disease’. Watch the video, directed by Dom Foster, here. ‘Celebration Of A Disease’ is taken from Cabbage’s forthcoming ‘The Extended Play Of Cruelty EP’, which will be released on Friday 25th August 2017 on CD, Cassette and 10 inch vinyl via Infectious Music. ‘The Extended Play […]
– THE RITZ, MANCHESTER – Before I talk about Manchester’s new favourite sons and their Cabbage Patch Kids, I want to briefly mention how good The Blinders and Strange Bones were as support acts tonight. It’s not easy supporting one of the most exciting live bands in the UK but both clearly knew what the […]
