LIVE: WHYTE HORSES / FRANCIS LUNG – 18/01/2020

-ROYAL NORTHERN COLLEGE OF MUSIC, MANCHESTER- Francis Lung Discomforted by the balcony’s design flaws, I watch the support wither through a set I can only describe as somewhat square. Lacking any discernible rhythm as they dispense with mundane topics about ‘being too real’ and feeling invisible (eyes remained open), the opener’s minimalist tone hinders rather […]
There’s epic sounding records out there, and then there’s the kind of Brian Wilson meets Phil Spector mountain of sound that Francis Lung has emerged with on his debut album. Meet the former Wu Lyf member who has released one of the most melodic and lush sounding records you’ll ever hear. When hotly tipped Mancunians […]

ALBUM REVIEWS ROUND UP – THE REST OF THE BEST NEW RELEASES FROM THE LAST MONTH

Dead Nature: Taking My Shadow EP From the ashes of the great but underrated band Spring King comes Dead Nature. I loved Spring King, a band who should’ve been massive with their brand of fuzzed up guitar melodies, and new project Dead Nature doesn’t disappoint either. It’s the work of Tarek Musa former chief songwriter […]

NOW CLOSED – DEAF INSTITUTE HAS A 2 FLOOR FESTIVAL OF FRESH BANDS

LIVE: LUH – 06/05/2016

– THE DEAF INSTITUTE, MANCHESTER – It seems disingenuous to mention the former band of someone who has re-emerged anew but WU LYF were an act of such influence they simply cannot be ignored. Ellery Roberts, now part of the duo LUH (Lost Under Heaven) formed with his partner Ebony Hoorn, was once the frontman […]
 – GULLIVER’S, MANCHESTER – A nearly annual event now, this night is a chance for former Wu Lyf man Francis Lung and others, selected by him, to come together to show us their individual musical gifts just in time for Christmas.

GIG GUIDE

Between September 2011 and March 2020 we provided a handpicked gig guide every month without fail. It's painful for us that there are currently no gigs to recommend. We hope gigs will return soon to bring you new recommendations, but if you want to reminisce you can still see nine years worth of old gig guides.
