About Hey! Manchester

ABOUT US:

We put on folk, indie, experimental and Americana gigs in Manchester. We're independent and we strive to offer something different to Manchester gig-goers.

UPCOMING GIGS:

SUN KIL MOON/MARK KOZELEK

When: 7.30pm on Thursday 11 September
Where: The Roadhouse, 8 Newton St, Manchester M1 2AN

Sun Kil Moon, Roadhouse, Manchester Since 1989, Ohio songwriter Mark Kozelek has recorded six studio albums with slowcore legends Red House Painters, plus four solo albums and three with his current band Sun Kil Moon.

Named after Korean boxer Sung-Kil Moon, Kozelek’s latest project features American Music Club member Tim Mooney on guitar, former Red House Painters drummer Anthony Koutsos and Black Lab bassist Geoff Stanfield. Their third and most recent album, April (8.3/10 – Pitchfork), features Will Oldham and Death Cab’s Ben Gibbard on guest vocals, and was again released on Kozelek’s own label, Caldo Verde.

This Manchester debut by the full Sun Kil Moon live band follows Kozelek’s much-anticipated solo performance at the Dancehouse Theatre late last year.

This is a Hey! Manchester/Pineapple Folk co-promotion.

Tickets from WeGotTickets.com, Ticketline.co.uk, SeeTickets.com, Zavvi in the Arndale Centre, Ticketline Box Office in St John’s Centre, Liverpool, and on 0161 832 1111.

DESTROYER

When: 7.00pm on Wednesday 12 November
Where: The Roadhouse, 8 Newton St, Manchester M1 2AN

Destroyer, Roadhouse, Manchester When not playing with Canadian ’supergroup’ the New Pornographers, Vancouver’s Dan Bejar records and tours with his own band, Destroyer.

Formed as a home-recording experiment in the mid-90s, Destroyer has since had several lineup changes but has now settled on a six-piece live band with guitarist Nicholas Bragg, bassist Tim Loewen, drummer Scott Morgan, Fisher Rose and keyboard player Ted Bois.

Seven albums have been released on labels including Merge Records and Rough Trade since 1995, with latest record Trouble in Dreams awarded 4/5 by Rolling Stone, which noted T.Rex, David Bowie and Pavement influences.

This is Destroyer’s headlining debut in Manchester.

Tickets from WeGotTickets.com, Ticketline.co.uk, SeeTickets.com, Zavvi in the Arndale Centre, Ticketline Box Office in St John’s Centre, Liverpool, and on 0161 832 1111.

TICKET POLICY:

We sell ticketlessly so you don't have to pay a ridiculous handling/postage fee. Just search WeGotTickets.com for whichever band above you want tickets for.

If you want to pay in cash, however, try Ticketline Box Office in Zavvi in the Arndale Centre and in St John’s Centre, Liverpool. You can also book on 0161 832 1111 or via Ticketline.co.uk and SeeTickets.com.
BANDS:

If you think your music is suitable for a Hey! Manchester night, send a message or leave a comment - make sure to mention any relevant influences etc. We get several gig requests a day so we can't always reply and if you play punk/hardcore/r'n'b/trance/hip hop/metal/dadrock, chances are it won't fit.

kin	Jun 24 2008 11:27 AM
Golden Lab Records	Jun 23 2008 7:32 AM EYES come from Chicago and make glorious music for dancing that straddles the vibes of Ariel Pink and HEALTH. The type of band people might lie about having seen first time round once they make the cover of Plan B. You know, if they felt so inclined. Skitanja, in spite of what the poster says, are actually from Bournemouth. They make scrappy, electronic bleep party pop music with guitar. Shiu-Yeung Hui is the Chinese member of Japanese group Maher Shalal Hash Baz. He drinks quite a lot of neat vodka then takes to the stage to perform his wonderful, fractured, miniature songs using guitar and keyboard. An exercise in patience, an audience with Shiu pays off massively. Elapse O are a death disco unit from Oxford. Imagine swimming the butterfly through a load of broken Swans LPs. That's what they sound like. Dig.
football	Jun 22 2008 4:09 AM Saturday 28rd June at Cafe Saki Instruments Predominantly instrumental music with simalarities to bands such as American Football and Make Believe. Itch Angular, intense but ultimately anthemic mathy rock. Elks From London bringing us jerky post hardcore pop complete with rousing manic vocals. Fugazi, Charlottefield etc... Spokes Beautiful epic post rock. Chrik 2 piece with drums, cymbals, a guitar and loop pedal.

Golden Lab Records	Jun 8 2008 9:56 AM Tues 17th June, Dulcimer, Chorlton, Manchester, 8pm, £5 SPECTRE FOLK (Pete Nolan of Magik Markers) + more TBC It's extremely appropriate that Magik Markers' drummer Pete Nolan is currently in the country to play with Jandek in London (which is how this gig came about, coincidentally). Because his solo Folk Spectre record on the Woodist label demonstrates a penetrating knowledge of what makes that great Texan loner so amazing. Lo-Fi in the early 90s Shrimper label sense (yes!), the record contains a clutch of fragile, skeletal songs that inspire a depth of relaxation self-help tape manufacturers could only dream of. Of course, we're not talking 'swimming with dolphins' here. It's the constant hum - of tape hiss, mellow feedback, room boom, whatever - that sits beneath these beautiful songs that gives them their dreamlike quality. The name has been switched around to Spectre Folk but the vibrations are the same. The Folk Spectre record is something truly special and we anticipate this show to be one of the most enthralling of our 2008 calendar. Here's what Pete's Magik Markers partner Elisa Ambrogio had to say about it all: "Here drum-dilweed extraordinaire Pete Nolan takes on new dimensions of low-fidelity radness through the Woodsist imprint. The infamous label in charge of releasing other super-jammers such as Axolotl, Loosers and Blues Control, Woodsist put this mother out in the o 7. So many good songs, I don’t know where to start; it’s like Gene Clark in a manhole with Von LMO in Bushwick. This is another artist criminally unappreciated for his solo work, most probably due to his surly manner. Just ‘cause the man don’t hold doors for people doesn’t mean he doesn’t know how to build castle bridges of strangeness into the void. LISTEN." www. myspace. com/spectreflux

football	May 27 2008 8:46 AM Saturday May 31st at Cafe Saki goFASTER>> Like fellow Liverpudlians Hot Club De Paris...with bouncy, choppy riffs and a very much danceable rhythm, synths swirl like a demented fairground ride while the boys perform fantastic, sing along harmonies. MAKE NOISE AND DANCE Elks Jerky post hardcore pop complete with rousing manic vocals. a bit like Fugazi and Charlottefield FOOTBALL Rotary Ten Latest signings to Xtra Mile (home of Dartz!) "'If The Smiths had gone to college in the US this might have been their sound. Complex, melodic guitar entwines with an 'anthemic' chorus. Possible classic.' The Observer Beat The Radar "catchy vocal melodies with precise backing vocals on top of angst guitar and clever drums create a package for success" SANDMAN MAGAZINE
