Danny McNamara the lead singer with Embrace, and no mean DJ to boot, has got together with some of his famous and infamous friends to continue a quest started at the Proud Galleries in Camden, Central London last year.
Our manifesto is simple... There is no VIP area. Everyone who makes it through the doors is a very important person to us. We will put on three or four great new bands with the emphasis on great as well as in this case... THE NORTH. The evening will begin at 8pm and finish at 3am. Throughout the night we will also showcase some of the areas best up and coming DJ's.
This is going to happen once a month, and it will never be anything less than amazing. We promise you...
At last we are bringing it home to its spiritual birthplace. The live music capital of Europe, MANCHESTER...
The name of the new club is THE AFTERSHOW.
Taking the same ethos as the previous club but tailoring it to the Manchester area. It's our opinion that London has been the focal point for the music industry for far too long, while many of the best bands are born north of the Watford gap. The idea is to build a base, a focal point, a big shining beacon that says we are here. If you want it come and get it.
We also aim to turn THE AFTERSHOW into THE place to go if you have just performed a concert in the city. Bring your band and crew and friends to us and we will provide a chilled unpretentious, but most importantly hassle free space where you can wind down after your big night.
We'd like to meet new and up and coming bands who are fucking amazing. Preferably in the Manchester area. You bring your crowd and we'll bring ours and we'll have us a party.
Just send us a request we'll check you out and get back to you. If you haven't heard from us within a week then you may be on our late replacements list so don't worry.
So if you are a great new band, a local rock and roll legend, a shit hot promoter, a trendsetter, a cultural body, a TV, radio or media mogul, already a part of the music industry or soon want to be or if you just want Manchester to take over as the centre of the world by the year 2010, get involved... Mohammad is not going to the mountain... the mountain is coming to Mohammad... tick tock tick tock!!!!
