RESCHEDULED TOUR DATES ACCOMPANY JUNODREAM’S NEW SINGLE AND ANIMATED VIDO FOR ‘TRAVEL GUIDE’

Junodream have shared their new single ‘Travel Guide’. The accompanying animated video depicts a dinosaur who escapes the rat race of the big city for a holiday escape. She heads to a picturesque island populated by mice, but her erratic behaviour escalates until she wreaks havoc in the island. The band commented: “‘Travel Guide’ explores […]
-GULLIVERS, MANCHESTER- For a band that as yet have only put out a handful of tracks across 2 EPs, Dry Cleaning have accrued a monstrous number of fans. Arriving early at the upstairs room of Gullivers, I am shocked that already I can barely get through the door. Manchester is the first stop on their […]

LIVE: OFF THE RECORD FESTIVAL 2019

-VARIOUS VENUES, MANCHESTER- ‘New Music Festival and Conference’ Off The Record is returning to Manchester for its fourth edition this Friday. It’s a one day event (apart from the networking drinks on Thursday), taking place over different venues across the Northern Quarter, such as Jimmy’s, Night and Day Café and Soup Kitchen. During the day, […]
-GULLIVERS, MANCHESTER- Tin Mole Experimental is a label difficult to define, but it appears Deco have rummaged the attic for a few of the more warped figurines you’d be wise to inspect before touching. Dominated by menacing bass lines, Tin Mole succumb to the irresistibility of synthesisers as they purge onward, almost as though a […]

LIVE: TANGERINECAT / SLOW KNIFE / FACTORY ACTS / TIN MOLE – 07/09/2019

LIVE: MADONNATRON / LEATHER PARTY – 17/06/2019

-GULLIVERS, MANCHESTER- Leather Party The curiously titled Leather Party open the evening, with the approach of their excessive pedal-induced fuzz sound reminding me a little of the Cramps or even Kyuss; albeit not quite as interesting as the aforementioned monoliths. The vocals have a vague growl to them at times, but typically come off as […]
-GULLIVERS, MANCHESTER- Here’s the thing….Manchester is very proud of its music scene (and rightly so), not to mention intent on giving burgeoning artists the opportunity to showcase their talents, to the extent that it will squeeze a gig in anywhere it can! Tonight proves to be no exception when Gullivers plays host to the fantastically […]

LIVE: HEIR / HAYES & Y – 17/04/2019

LIVE: JOHN FAIRHURST – 10/04/2019

-GULLIVERS, MANCHESTER- We have a double whammy of John Fairhurst tonight. First up is a stripped-down acoustic set, as he muses how it’s good to make some chilled acoustic after making such a heavy album. But chilled may not have been the best choice of word for it, excellent fingerpicking at the start of tracks […]
-GULLIVERS, MANCHESTER- Tommy Villiers has a fresh and funky sound. It’s smooth, like the best kind of peanut butter with tones that stick with you long after you have had a taste of his too short of a set. He reminds me of Louis Cole of the band Knower. Tommy’s noodling around the guitar is […]

LIVE: DARCIE / PIP FLUTEMAN / TOMMY VILLIERS – 04/04/2019

LIVE: WOMAN’S HOUR – 14/03/2019

-GULLIVERS, MANCHESTER- Formed in 2011 and named after the news and culture show on BBC Radio 4, Woman’s Hour is made up of siblings Fiona and William Burgess and synth player Josh Hunnisett. Their 2014 debut album Conversations was received well by critics, receiving strong reviews across the board, but since that debut release, there […]
-GULLIVERS, MANCHESTER- Nephew Rails We commence with a quintet (right word?), whose live debut is somewhat respectable, if a little underwhelming; a steady approach, with a few interesting tempo changes here and there that show evidence of something interesting as their set stumbles on, rendering them the perfect fit for being the quintessential ‘opening act’. […]
