Where: Low Four Studio, Deansgate Mews, Great Northern, Manchester M3 4EN

We’re excited to present a free entry show at Low Four featuring Tulpa and more!

Tulpa are an indie rock band from Leeds. Their sound contrasts detuned and lo-fi guitar textures with hyper-melodic vocals, creating songs with emotional warmth and sonic intrigue. The group consists of Josie Kirk, Daniel Hyndman, Myles Kirk and Mike Ainsley. They have recently supported Throwing Muses, Pale Blue Eyes and The Bug Club and have recorded a live session for Marc Riley and Gideon Coe on BBC 6 Music.

In the creative hotbeds of the UK’s DIY festivals and indie venues Tulpa have already gathered a loyal following. Live, their songs lean into texture and tone, creating a dreamy atmosphere and distortion that feels like a big hug. The songs meander from catchy hooks into tangents of musical experimentation and guitar wizardry. The lyrics are sometimes abstract, sometimes mysterious, but always direct and powerful expressions of universal human emotion.

Tulpa’s debut album Monster of the Week was be released by Skep Wax Records in November. It was recorded by Jamie Lockhart (The Cribs, Mush, Drahla). The record is the first ever album to be produced at Jamie’s new studio at Lamigo Bay, a picturesque and remote region of the Highlands.

FFO: Breeders, Pavement, Yo La Tengo etc.

Joining Tulpa are Scania (formerly known as Flat Stanley) and DDHP (FFO: The Replacements, Pixies and The Rentals).

This free entry show is part of Mews Fest 2026 – no need to book in advance, just turn up 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.
