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
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
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.
