LIVE: SOUNDS FROM THE OTHER CITY – 03/05/2015

– VARIOUS VENUES, SALFORD – With 13 stages and over 100 acts playing during 12 chaotic hours along Salford’s Chapel Street, each reveller is likely to have a very different experience on this bank holiday weekend. All music genre’s are covered, including dance, rock, classical… there’s comedy and art on display, a variety of food […]

ISLINGTON MILL’S EVENT SPACE TO BECOME ‘FAT OUT’S BURROW’

LIVE: MOON DUO – 08/04/2015

– ISLINGTON MILL, SALFORD – Moon Duo would most likely fill a larger venue, which makes tonight’s album launch even more special – those lucky enough to gain entry to this sold-out show get to experience the band in this intimate space, with it’s low ceiling and incredibly loud and clear sound system. Whatever comes at us through those speakers is […]
Moon Duo have shared another track from their forthcoming new album, and announced UK dates for April. The two-piece space rockers have shared Slow Down Low, the second track to be shared from their third album Shadow of the Sun, which will be released on March 2 on Sacred Bones Records. The track follows Animal, […]

MOON DUO SHARE NEW TRACK AND ANNOUNCE UK DATES

LIVE: FACTORY FLOOR – 03/05/2014

– ISLINGTON MILL, SALFORD – I’ve been waiting to see Factory Floor for a while now having missed their last Manchester gig due to being stuck on a train for 7 hours after a wedding in December. So when I found out they were putting on a night at the brilliant Islington Mill, I made […]
– ISLINGTON MILL, SALFORD – The Bummer camp crew should be proud of themselves for putting on two great events over the last week. The only problem being that they were nowhere near as well attended as they should be. First off they put on Christeene, the dirge shock tranny act whose antics have been […]

LIVE: SSION – 26/06/2013

LIVE: VONDELPARK / BLOOM – 09/05/2013

– ISLINGTON MILL, MANCHESTER –  Islington Mill tends to be home to the more freaky, experimental end of the live music spectrum in Manchester, so this visit of London-based indie-electronic trio Vondelpark is a little against type. Their music is vibey and textured rather than intensive or otherworldly, but on this occasion the setting works […]
– SOUP KITCHEN, MANCHESTER – A white backdrop adorns the wall and before it stands three figures resplendent in white shirts. Being projected onto the backdrop are shapes in monochrome hues, and then the band name ‘NZCA/Lines’ flashes sporadically.  Yet there is no need for an introduction. Through the entirety of support act, Jonquil’s performance […]

LIVE: NZCA/LINES – 04/10/2012

LIVE: DAN DEACON – 28/09/2012

– ISLINGTON MILL, SALFORD – Here in this intimate Salford venue, with a tangled mess of wires and boxes on the table in front of him and two live drummers either side of him, stands the husky frame of Dan Deacon, a man, who from behind his jam jar glasses, seems to have a permanent […]
– ISLINGTON MILL. SALFORD – I’m not usually one for forward planning but I felt quite gutted that I couldn’t go to the SAVAGES gig at the beginning of the month due to it being sold out (how does a few months old, pretty unknown, four piece all female band sell out in a city […]
