LA power-pop outfit The Regrettes hit the stage at Gorilla. Led by 19 year old Lydia Night, the four-piece released their sophomore album How Do You Love? last year and take influence from various artists such as Bikini Kill, Kate Nash, Joan Jett and Haim. Hailed as the new faces of feminist punk – this is not one to be missed.
Garage-punk/new-wave outfit Chemtrails headline a midweek evening of music at Aatma. The quintet who relocated to Manchester last year are known for their DIY approach and glistening synthy raw guitar sound. They are joined by Mister Twisted – a local band who fuse psychedelia, alt rock and post-punk genres. Also on the bill are scrappy slacker garage pop trio Ermine Fudge.
Modern Age Music presents a showcase of acts this Friday. On the bill are three talented bands from across the North. Headlining are Warrington’s own The Lotts, a young garage-rock four-piece who play fast and loud. They are joined by Feral Family from Sheffield who bring their brand of dark indie rock. Local lads Shallow Waters also play giving us their grungy psychedelic sound.
Bristol groovy boys – Tungz are headlining Off The Square this weekend. With their 70’s inspired synths and disco grooves, the four mates bring us a fresh look at bedroom pop. There’s a buzz around Tungz, both here and over the pond with radio play and reviews – known for their electric live performances, don’t miss this.
London-based indie outfit Clock Opera head to Manchester in support of their new release Carousel with a date at Soup Kitchen. Formed by multi-instrumentalist Guy Connolly back in 2009 – this is the band’s third album and has so far produced the three singles Be Somebody Else, Carousel and The Imaginary Nation.
