LIVE: WEYES BLOOD – 29/10/2019

– Club Academy, Manchester – Natalie Mering, commonly known as Weyes Blood, has made one of the very best albums of the year in Titanic Rising. On the cover of this extraordinary album, Mering floats underwater in a what looks like her teenage bedroom, an otherworldly, slightly unsettling image as she looks directly at us […]
-CLUB ACADEMY, MANCHESTER- The lively shuffle dance rousing from the first track, ‘The Vowels Part 2′, sends a static current through the Academy. The energy and verve magnifies and emits from the crowd, hollering each phrase as an echo machine back to the stage. It is crazy that frontman Jonathon Yoni Wolf’s monotone delivery, distinctive […]

LIVE: WHY? – 16/09/2018

LIVE: ANGEL OLSEN – 14/10/2016

– CLUB ACADEMY, MANCHESTER – A chorus of ambience welcomes Angel Olsen’s silver-suited, bolo-tied band of 1963 fantasy to Manchester’s darkened Club Academy, only to have them sink into the background as the velvet-adorned hellcat takes to the stage and turns to azurite as she steps into the spotlight and the open-mouth-kiss evening. S-1 in-hand, […]
Blossoms have added another Manchester date to their UK after their previously announced show sold out. The Stockport five-piece will now play a gig at Club Academy on Friday, May 29, the day after they have played their sell out show at Gorilla. The psych-pop group are currently on the road around the UK, having […]

BLOSSOMS ADD SECOND MANCHESTER DATE ON UK TOUR

LIVE: WOLF ALICE – 22/10/2014

– CLUB ACADEMY, MANCHESTER – Manchester is often a tough crowd for bands. The city’s arguably unparalleled musical heritage means us Mancunian folk expect a lot when we venture out on a wet Wednesday evening. But Wolf Alice have no problems with that. The London four-piece are welcomed to Club Academy like returning heroes, with an […]
– CLUB ACADEMY, MANCHESTER – Having given their most recent album a few spins, and hearing who had been lined up as the support for their UK Tour, I’m really looking forward to this gig. Support comes in the way of DZ Deathrays (who I miss, sadly) and Slaves, who I’m very fortunate to catch. […]

LIVE: BLOOD RED SHOES – 28/04/2014

LIVE: MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA – 11/04/2014

– CLUB ACADEMY, MANCHESTER – “It’s nice to be back in our hometown”, are the first words we can hear from Manchester Orchestra after a couple of songs, in a marvellous night where the Atlanta-based quintet introduce their brand new album Cope. The indie-rock outfit grew out of songs that singer and songwriter Andy Hull […]
– CLUB ACADEMY, MANCHESTER – Club Academy is the underground venue in the Manchester University Student Union. It is a venue with a huge amount of seating space at the back and it is sold out this evening for Little Comets. Unfortunately for tonight’s support act Catfish & The Bottlemen, the space at the back […]

LIVE: LITTLE COMETS – 05/02/2014

LIVE: JOHNNY FLYNN & THE SUSSEX WIT – 7/10/2013

– CLUB ACADEMY, MANCHESTER – Promoting his new album Country Mile, Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit return to Manchester after a two year interlude from, where he has been delving into the delights of theatre. Support was provided by the delectable Marika Hackman and Cosmo Sheldrake. Manchester’s Club Academy; that drab, slimy host, the Uncle who […]
– CLUB ACADEMY, MANCHESTER – An 80’s Matchbox B- Line Disaster gig is like cuing for a ride at a theme park. You wait ages and then you’re rewarded with a forty second or in this case, forty minute thrill. As is their want, 80MBD (sorry abbreviations necessary) like to wait for as long as […]

LIVE: EIGHTIES MATCHBOX B-LINE DISASTER – 29/10/2012
