The week in gigs: 23 February-1 March
Bit quiet this week, with just the six shows for you to consider…
Tomorrow, Monday, Islington Mill in Salford plays host to a Golden Lab gig, featuring former Manchester resident Chris Corsano. The New England drummer has played with the likes of Jandek, Six Organs of Admittance, Thurston Moore and Mick Flower to name a few, and he’s toured with Björk. He’s joined by the Hunter Gracchus, Plum Slate, CKDH and Beach Fuzz. More info and tickets.
On Tuesday you have two choices. Emmy the Great‘s here to promote First Love, her debut album, and plays at the Ruby Lounge with God’s Little Eskimo. Meanwhile, further into the Northern Quarter, punk, er, shoegazers Titus Andronicus are at Night & Day Cafe. Little Death and Citizens also play.
And also on Tuesday, Canadian collective Woodpigeon are joined by the Miserable Rich and the Winter Journey for a Red Deer Club night at the Deaf Institute – more info and tickets for that one here.
Wednesday was going to be a big night for Hey! Manchester, with Gang Gang Dance and Alexis Taylor from Hot Chip at the Roadhouse – but sadly the whole tour was cancelled after a fire in Amsterdam melted their equipment. Hopefully they’ll be back with newly sampled samples later in the year. American folksters Vetiver (who sometimes count Devendra Banhart among their number) will play on Wednesday, at Dulcimer in Chorlton – but that’s well and truly sold out.
Then nothing happens until Saturday when the ever-popular, 10-year-old Club Brenda takes over the Deaf Institute. Locals Magic Arm and the 1,2,3,4s both play – with the former appearing as a full band to celebrate the release of new EP, Bootsy Bootsy. More info.
