The week in gigs: 2-8 March
The highlight this week is undoubtedly, er, a Hey! Manchester gig…
We’re giving Portland, Oregon’s Horse Feathers their debut in the city on Wednesday 4 March at Dulcimer in Chorlton. Their latest album, House with no Home, has been one of our favourites for the past few months – founder Justin Ringle’s guitar voice mixes perfectly with Peter and Heather Broderick’s cello, violin, banjo and celeste, reminding us of another favourite, Great Lake Swimmers. Men Diamler (‘reconfiguring English/Welsh soul music through woozy operatics and wild and weird song/stories ‘) and new Fence signing Animal Magic Tricks (‘Scout Niblett if she played the synths’) also play. Full info and tickets.
Elsewhere this week: on Monday 3 March the much-hyped Wavves – aka California’s Nathan Williams – plays at the confusingly under-sized Bay Horse on Thomas Street. PENS and Mazes complete this lineup of concisely named, S-suffixed acts. Tickets. Fanfarlo also play on Tuesday, at the Deaf Institute. More info and tickets.
If you’re not watching Horse Feathers – and frankly, why wouldn’t you be? – then you might like Liverpool’s Wave Machines and Eugene McGuinness back at the Deaf Institute. More info and tickets. Or there’s Liam Frost’s Springtime Shakedown, his new weekly residency at the Ruby Lounge. More info.
And Vini Reilly’s Factory band the Durutti Column round off this week with an intimate show at the Deaf Institute. More info and tickets.
