Newsbursts, daily gig recommendations and reviews since 1999 from Manchester's longest running music webzine...
The Man's done it all in Manchester. Original Inspiral Carpets drummer. One time member of The Wake. Formed the supergroup The Hungry Sox before anyone knew it was a supergroup. Featuring himself, Mani (Roses/Primal Scream), Clint Boon (Carpets), Chris Goodwin (The High/Electronic) & Andy Housley (The Cradle). Now writing, recording, mixing, producing & making videos by the name Periscope. Highly prolific, always diverse in style, Periscope deserves your attention. Swinny kindly agreed to choose his 5 Nuclear Bunker Discs. Then he changed his mind. Then he made sure he didn't have any Ray Mears survival CD's knocking about. Then he slept on it, double checked for Ray Mears, then sent us his 5. We've thoroughly enjoyed the banter & putting this together, so we salute you for giving up about 2 days of your life to do this...
Alibi from the set filmed at S-S-R Manchester in 2010...
We wanted a challenge, so we made our own. But thanks to S-S-R Manchester, their facilities & the creative partnership with Outlier Records, we will do what we set out to do, which is film some quality live sets over the coming months. Filmed in the Charlie Jones Live Venue providing sound quality second to none, we can't wait to see what develops in 2011. We have our eye on the next few & we promise you, any bands passing through Manchester on tour, we'll be on their case!
