SOUP KITCHEN’S ANNUAL RECORD STORE DAY ALL-DAYER RETURNS

Record Store Day is here again! That time of year when we all come together to celebrate all things vinyl, and support the independent music stores who provide it! So we urge you to head to Piccadilly Records, Eastern Bloc Records, and Beatin Rhythm – grab your limited press of choice, and then head over […]
– SOUP KITCHEN, MANCHESTER – With prominent connections to the DIY, fun-loving and on occasion wilfully slapdash musical niche carved out by the likes of Homeshake, Walter TV and, of course, Mac DeMarco, Tonstartssbandht – as their name might suggest – are a band that carry with them a certain expectation to satisfy a craving […]

LIVE: TONSTARTSSBANDHT / ELLIOT VINCENT JONES – 25/02/2017

LIVE: JULIA JACKLIN / KETO – 23/02/2017

– SOUP KITCHEN, MANCHESTER – Championed by BBC 6 Music and just this week announced on the bill to support Belle and Sebastian in Glasgow as part of the 6 Music Festival next month, Julia Jacklin is an artist going places. Tonight, she plays a sell-out gig at Manchester’s Soup Kitchen, touring her debut album […]
– SOUP KITCHEN, MANCHESTER – Tusks is the solo project of Emily Underhill. The Hastings-born singer-songwriter shifts from genre to genre, at one moment making a tense electronic song and at others channeling her inner King Krule as she aggressively strums her guitar whilst delivering a faultless vocal. Tusks is signed to the same label […]

LIVE: CYMBALS EAT GUITARS – 08/02/2017

– SOUP KITCHEN, MANCHESTER – Cymbals Eat Guitars (CEG for brevity’s sake) are an odd band, and odd bands, as we well know, are the best. Frontman Joseph D’Agostino has a voice that can best be described as sounding like a guy with a brilliant voice but who is suffering from laryngitis – a kind of […]
Following a 2016 that saw their debut LP Channel The Spirits gain a Mercury Prize nomination, Leaf Label signings The Comet Is Coming are returning to Manchester at The Soup Kitchen on Friday, May 5th.

THE COMET IS COMING…TO MANCHESTER

LIVE: THREE TRAPPED TIGERS – 24/11/2016

– SOUP KITCHEN, MANCHESTER – Many of my nearest and dearest would tell you that, when it comes to music I like to throw around the word ‘favourite’ a lot. But I can honestly say, hand on heart, that the latest LP from Three Trapped Tigers is my favourite release of the year. These London […]
– SOUP KITCHEN, MANCHESTER – I’m all about that DIY aesthetic. I really care about the bands that work hard and go about things with little outside help. Horsebeach and False Advertising that I musically admire for different reasons but with a similar attitude have become two of Manchester’s finest exports and therefore I am […]

LIVE: FALSE ADVERTISING / HORESEBEACH – 18/11/2016
