   About carlis star

"Glorious girl-boy grandaddy-like sun-pop"

NME

"They make the kind of music that is simply addictive. Forget what you might think, it turns out Manc indie music can still be original."

BBC Manchester

"Carlis Star's songs are wonderfully sweet blasts of melody, synths and adrenalin"

Music Mart

"Unwavering optimism coupled with fuzzy punkpopping rock promises a pretty good gig time if you are in a similarly inclined mood. And if you're not, you need to be asking yourself why that is."

what? the folk!





Oct 15 2008 4:29 PM

what? the folk! & Solid Earth present: Freaks, Ghouls and Graves, a Balkan (ish) flavoured Halloween (ish) knees up at the delightful St Margaret’s church in Whalley Range.

Yessum we’re back. after the monstrous success of Jackson’s Boat, we thought it only right and proper to offer you another helping of profoundly good music in a great venue. We’ve got a rosette for best zombie in show, beer and food from the nice folks at Jam Street and noise from Stumblefunk.

Another co-promo with the brains and muscle that brought Beats, Roots & Leaves back in May - this time tho we de-camp indoors to make the most of the Halloween theme inside a church, with face painters, ghost hunters, a bar provided by Jam Street and a fabulous line-up of musical tricker treats:

Na Zdrove
Na Zdrove is Sheffield's finest Balkan Beats, Gypsy Brass, Russian Ska, Gypsy Dub, Klezmer and Gypsy Punk night. blimey. We’ll ave some of that. We’ll be welcoming their house band and resident DJs - yes indeedy!
