DUVET:
This Manchester group started in 2020 and wear their influences on their sleeves, sporting a strong riot girl sound and image. After a run of relentless gigging they have gathered a dedicated following alongside a sonic shift into more experimental elements of post-punk and 90s noise rock. The band still maintain a raw energy live with lead singer Grace Walkden’s boisterous vocals, a powerful rhythm section and lead guitarist Tasmin Stephens wailing melodies. With punchy bass lines and strong female vocals, Duvet’s sound is familiar yet unique.
YAANG:
Forming in 2017 when Davey Moore (vocals/sampler) met Oliver Duffy (Guitars/vocals) at a rhythmic awareness class at the University of Salford - and later completed by Ben White (Ex-Working Men’s Club) on bass duties - the trio have steadily built their reputation for furious, high-energy, live shows, powered by the rocket-fuel combo of pulsating drum loops, clangorous guitars and a wicked sense of humour.
BLEACH BOY:
Bleach Boy are a community minded collective of working class punks making Post-Everything music in Manchester. In 2017 they began to play in a damp basement with the aim of creating unfiltered and honest art.
Bleach Boy thrive in the live setting, bringing huge intensity and rawness to their audience, with Milo (vocals/rhythm) working his way into the crowd - riling them up whilst the rest of the band (Tommi/Sam/Cian) hunker down in the beat. Bleach Boy have played shows in various UK cities and have supported bands including Surfbort and BAMBARA.
“Within the rage and noise, there is a sense of fragility. Something that the human heart just locks onto and recognises. Once you do pick up on it, there isn’t any going back really. You’ll quickly become obsessed.” LOUDERTHANWAR
PYNCHER:
Pyncher are the very best of the Manchester underground: moody & playful post punk that's begun to delight ears nationwide. This Radio 6 featured outfit brings to life Ennio Morricone riffs and twangs with their new EP 'Chew' receiving praise from NME and beyond. Having only been gigging for a year, this young band have shot themselves into the limelight of the Manchester music scene, and are starting to make a name for themselves in London as well, after being invited by Damien Hirst to play The Troubador.
THE DEAD THINGS:
Brand-new band alert! We're pleased as punch to host the debut gig from this box-fresh NW Post-Punk outfit.
Sic Turtle: Vocals / Guitar
Gang Fish: Vocals / Bass
Ray Gun: Drums
NICK VENCIDO:
Opening the live-music portion of our all-day affair, we have a solo set of acoustic ballads, laments and ditties from the eldest of the Vencido siblings! Vencidos have a storied history in the Preston scene, and these songs have a lot to do with that legendary rep.
WHINGE:
Oh shit! Don't forget your cordial hosts & expert curators: Whinge. Having spent months inviting bands to play for you once again, they've promised to get back in the rehearsal room & get some songs ready too.
Whinge make noise with guitars, synths and drums. Plus shouting. Post-punk informed DIY garage-rock played with gay abandon, Whinge slam together influences from the Mondays to the Sabbath, ESG to LCD, Genesis to The Rapture. Or something like that.
