   About High Voltage
High Voltage started out at a halls of residence bar in Manchester in Spring 2003. The aim was to provide a platform for local musicians at a time when Manchester was still suffering from an Oasis hangover.

At present (early 2009) we are re-designing the website to give you a more comprehensive view of Manchester music as as well as buzz bands from across the world who we think will take off this year. There's also plans to reignite the record label in some form we haven't quite decided on. Anyway, these are exciting times.

Here's a reminder of some of the acts we've hosted gigs by to show you how serious we are about promoting new music....

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
!!!
Radio 4
Simian Mobile Disco (live)
Wild Beasts
Frightened Rabbit
MGMT
Arctic Monkeys
The Whip
Wave Pictures
Thieves Like Us
Mystery Jets
The Longcut
The Bravery
The Pigeon Detectives
Nine Black Alps
Forward Russia
Help She Can't Swim
The Long Blondes
Good Shoes
The Maccabees
Shout Out Louds
The Sunshine Underground
and many many many others.


We also produces a fanzine, which comes out every two months. And we have an record label called High Voltage Sounds, founded in Nov 2004, which has released 7" singles by The KBC, Former Bullies, Lisa Brown, Dead Disco, The Maple State, The Answering Machine, Snowfight in the City Centre and redcarsgofaster, a 10" compilation EP, and a 20 track CD featuring the best new bands in the North-West; all to great acclaim.

THE MANDIGANS - LIVE @ MANCHESTER ARNDALE........ JULY 1ST - 7PM



Its our only Manchester gig of the Summer as we're taking a break to write some new songs - so come on down for your last chance to hear the old Mandigans songs

WHATS THE DATE AND WHAT TIME?
Wed July 1st @ 7pm

WHERE?
Halle Square - its where JD Sports and Henri Lloyd store are

(Note: There's a very very small chance the gig may get moved to Exchange Square, near Next, so if you dont see a PA system and band around 6.30pm at Halle Square you know where to move to)

ISNT A GIG IN A SHOPPING CENTRE A BIT WEIRD?
Yeah, in the UK maybe, but they happen all the time in America.... so come down, make noise, invite your mates and make sure everybody knows the Mandigans are in the building

IM NOT IN MANCHESTER SO CANT MAKE IT?
We have gigs throughout the Summer in Wigan, Blackburn, Leeds, London, Birmingham and maybe a few more TBC so keep checking http://www.myspace.com/themandigans


ALSO....
Join the new Mandigans facebook page so you can chat to us all the time

NLF3's music has been described as "a kitsch This Heat" by The Wire, and compared for its rhythms to a 2009 version of the Ege Bamayasi-era of Can. The Guardian even spoke of them as "a Radiohead seduced by the idea of live improvisation". The members of NLF3 - F.lor, Mitch and Don Nino - name influences as varied as Pierre Henry, Fela Kuti, Steve Reich, Ennio Moricone, as well as Syd Barrett, Zappa, Fantomas, Aphex Twin, and Sonic Youth. Strange gurus indeed, for a music that, after all these comparisons, still sounds unique. NLF3 is the story of three music lovers – two brothers in blood and a third in spirit – united by the same passion: to make music, record it and take it all around the world. In that regard, their kinship with Battles and Animal Collective, with whom they have toured, seems perfectly natural - they all belong to the same generation of musicians and have the same desire to discover new territory, to explore new possibilities and to bring together past and future. It comes as no surprise either that the brothers F.lor and Don have lived in Germany as well as the US, and have spent some time in Nigeria where their father introduced them to the great Fela Kuti and others like the sculptor Twin Seven Seven. www.myspace.com/nlf3
