Gratis – our series of free entry shows – continues with Severe Girls’ debut EP launch!

Emergent power punk melodists Severe Girls bring their frenetic energy to Low Four for a free show to celebrate the release of their debut EP Another Night.

Led by songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Richardson (former drummer with Thurston Moore, Infinite Bisous, Aldous RH, Francis Lung and Temple Songs to name a few), Severe Girls follows Richardson’s storied musical past with his fresh take on straight up pop songs that channel the spirit of Buzzcocks, The Replacements, Guided by Voices and Wipers.

After debut single Ghosts (2022) and follow-up T6 (2024), Fill My Head is the first offering from the six-track EP, cementing Severe Girls as a band who are just revving their engines, blending 80s/90s college rock, power pop, and modern indie with effortless abandon.

A very limited run of cassettes will be available on the night.

This show takes place at Low Four – a recording studio situated on Deansgate Mews in the Great Northern warehouse. This intimate venue features a fully stocked Cloudwater bar.

This is a 14+ show. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
