LIVE: LOW ISLAND – 06/06/2017

– SOUP KITCHEN, MANCHESTER – Under dimmed glows, a murmured haziness fills our surroundings. Four figures creep into the light and quietly get acquainted with their instruments. No-one applauds; no-one seems to notice. Much like their introduction tonight Oxford four-piece Low Island started gently in 2016, bending people’s ears with debut single ‘Anywhere’ on which […]
‘A Lagoon’ is the second single from Caesar this year, following February’s digital release of the soothing ‘Crossed Wires’. The two tracks merely serve as a welcoming preview of what’s to come on the band’s very first headline UK tour which is ongoing now. Check out the remaining dates below. ‘A Lagoon’ is out now […]

With their industrially-charged new record Stop Mute Defeat hitting the shelves in just under a month, post-psych overlords White Hills have unveiled the brain-melting, surreal video for ‘Importance 101’. The second in Stop Mute Defeat’s series of videos created and directed by bassist Ego Sensation, ‘Importance 101’ delves through the looking glass to depict a twisted nightmare world, where everything isn’t quite […]

LIVE: KISHI BASHI – 12/05/2017

– SOUP KITCHEN, MANCHESTER – I heard recently about how on the day Craig Finn had the surreal experience of his band opening for the Stones at Slane Castle, he never even got to meet Jagger, Richards and the others. But tonight not only have our opening and main acts met before, they are travelling […]
– SOUP KITCHEN. MANCHESTER – I’ve seen Theme Park twice before, when we were all a bit younger; the first time they were supporting Bombay Bicycle club on tour in 2011, and then as part of the wondrous Camden Crawl festival in 2012. I thought they were great, not only live, but on record. And […]

LIVE: DUCKTAILS – 08/05/2017

– SOUP KITCHEN, MANCHESTER – Back in 2015, Ducktails topped a fantastic triple bill made up of Jaako Eino Kalevi and Beaty Heart at the Deaf Institute. Their carefree spindly guitars coupled with Matt Mondanile’s soft vocals resulted in a blissful end to the evening. Tonight is much the same with Ducktails at the top […]
– SOUP KITCHEN, MANCHESTER – Manchester’s Soup Kitchen basement has undergone a revamp recently, with a newly elevated stage and improved sound system – tonight’s sold out gig is shaping up nicely. Opening we have Yowl, a five piece from Peckham who take the mundane and make it sound like a never-ending thrill. Garnering a […]
