Sounds Like
We play guitar rock music, often instrumental and in a vein you might describe as post rock. We like odd time signatures and strange build ups, with moments of pure noise and high energy.
Aidan Smith and his Indulgent Friends play at The Art of Tea in Didsbury. A new album, Allotments, is due out soon and advance copies will be available at the show.
Also playing are Brighton's The Miserable Rich, returning to Manchester just two weeks after their great show at Hedge for a more intimate set in this wonderful cafe. And this time they'll have vinyl copies of their debut single, Pisshead/Boat Song...
The Art of Tea 47 Barlow Moor Road Didsbury M20 6TW

Upstairs THE CONSOLATIONS KING PEST THE ENDING OF THE GREEN HALF
Downstairs VESSELS LAYMAR THE SANDELLS STOP THE BLACKOUT
2 contrasting rooms of glorious music featuring 8 bands I reckon are going to do really well for themselves this year. Upstairs is headlined by The Consolations who could well do a Twisted Wheel this year. Downstairs our post-rock extravaganza is headlined by the mighty Vessels who have just got back from recording in America and are so good it should be illegal.
All nights have an array of drink offers if you bring NUS/Student cards. Happy days. Come along and get involved!
My band Boycott are playing at Dry Bar this Sunday, the 16th, as part of the Hide and Seek Festival. We will be on upstairs at 7pm, I believe the action kicks off around 3. We will be bringing the rock forth. Would be lovley to see you, even if its just to heckle. The more people we pull the less chance there is that we will be blathered when we play. Please support the cause!
We’re very proud to announce that we’re going to be supporting 65daysofstatic at Academy 2 on Wednesday 7th November. We have a limited number of tickets to sell at £7 - a fiver cheaper than it’ll cost you to get in on the door. If you’re going to the gig, or thinking about it, please email tickets@palmstruck.com for more information.

Give me a shout when you come back from kissing european asses and I'll catch your next gig...might snap you on me picture maker and we'll social smoke like proper euros
THE GREEN HALF Alternative space-jazz ambient dub cock teases
CORLEONE Spine tingling moments of beautiful melody, packed tight against big, hard edged soundscapes. Like the very best of bands such as Sonic Youth and Mogwai
CONTACT MO Epic stargazers, building melodious waves of swirling guitar like a less oppressive Longview or a more intense Elbow. 'Their quieter moments bring a tear to a glass eye... 'James Blunt
This could be one of the best gigs of the year so don't miss out.
