And this chap:
Hop Man Jr brings you nauseating noise resulting from dizzying bouts of insomnia, as exemplified in the songs above. As well as this, I'm lucky enough to be part of the following Mancunian institutions;
Synth, organ and noises with the mighty GNOD. Head over to the MySpace, have a listen, check the vids and get yourself some vinyl, why dont ya?
Also, Country Joe and Der Fisch bring you the finest talent from everywhere and the greatest records from everywhen, respectively. All this every other Tuesday at Trof, Landcross Rd (next to Queen Of Hearts), Fallowfield.
Keep an eye on my gigs box on this page for shows and events from all of the above and hopefully I'll see you at one thing or the other!

Svarte Greiner (Deaf Center/Miasmah/Type) explores deep into a dark, mysterious and disturbing universe. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Earth, Volcano the Bear, David Darling & Deathprod, the music is draped in Lynchian mysticism and horror film cinematics. "The music of Svarte Greiner is practically perfect. It's like that sound in our heads we've been imagining for ages but had never actually heard." - Type Records.
The Sight Below (Rafael Anton Irisarri/Miasmah/Immune) draws as much on modern genre progenitors like Brian Eno, Robin Guthrie and My Bloody Valentine as it does from the more historic traditions in neo-classicism from Erik Satie and Olivier Messiaen. His album Glider has appeared on Thom Yorke's radar in making the Radiohead's lynchpin's top ten playlist.
His debut album Navigare soon to feature on the Miasmah label, Simon Scott (former Slowdive) is set to be a household name in conceptual music. Simon is the former Slowdive drummer, co-producer of Televise, producer of Seavault, and owner of KESH Recordings label.
