Music: Free Vibes at Band on the Wall
Legendary music venue Band on the Wall hosts another of their Free Vibes gigs this Saturday night. Headlining this free gig is Move, a local post-punk guitar-based fourpiece, who have apparently gone through several different names in the past and landed on one that’s very difficult to Google. Grimm Twins – possibly named after the 90s WWF wrestling duo – are up next with synth pop straight from the dark heart of Macclesfield. Rounding things off are new wave group Demur and supergroup Chevron Shawl. Register early to guarantee entry.
