Saturday gone we went to The Ducie Bridge in Manchester to play a show with Dan The Thief. 153 Corporation Road is just up from Victoria Station, not far from the MEN Arena, and his one of Manchesters best live music pubs; free to get in and no pay to play for the bands. The Ducie has close association with Manchester Radio and the two compliment each other by finding new bands for gigs in the Manchester area, providing the very raw but definite sound the city breeds, along side some fantastic talent from the surrounding area. Yes, I'm talking Morecambe Bay!
We got down there, quick line check and rampaged through a set comprising of:
Pressure Drop
Crash
Battle Cry
She Really Goes
Seven Sisters
Rapture
Choke
Black Soul
Planes
The new ones went down really well especially She Really Goes which is the probably our most accessible song to date and will definitely be on the session list for our next recording session which will be at West Orange Studios in April (I think). So, a great night at The Ducie Bridge both for the music and for the top people we met there. Thanks to all.
Coming up we have a night at Jackson's Pit in Oldham with The Number and White Heath, then over to the Live Lounge in Blackburn before hitting The Printworks Festival, The Roughbeats Festival (with Pulled Apart by Horses) and The Carlisle Music Festival (with Death in Vegas).
