Designer Magazine August gig Line-up

 
 
Some promoters shy away from August gigs - not Designer Magazine who finish off a week full of Dry Bar gigs with a showcase of bands old and new to the Designer Magazine roster

Headliners The Blind Leading The Blind have built up a steady following in Droylsden and the city centre going so far as to run their own Jam Factory Music Festival for the past few years. Their latest festival was gig of the week in the Manchester Evening News and was their biggest to date which is testament to the party atmosphere at every TBLTB gig

Other regulars include Mathew Petit who's latest EP "Whatever You Want Is Near" features 5 gems including the much loved "Affected By Attention" which has already received regular local radio play.

And then there's the 3 newbies on this gig where we introduce Positronik, The Before Picture and Tom Byrne & Friends

Lights Out Action

Kiss Corona are a band riding high on recent press attention

Picked up by print publications and e-zines alike, their particular blend of harmony rich, melody driven pop/rock has been catching the eyes and ears of several corners of the industry.

The three piece from Nottingham ( Phil - lead singer/guitar, Steve - singer/bassist and Alex - Drums) write the kind of irresistible pop tinged songs like Kids in Glass Houses and You me at Six have been trailblazing across UK earning Kiss Corona the title in Kerrangs’ Magazines Local Heroes

The Madding Crowd
The Union Choir

The Union Choir play their debut Manchester gig after support slots with Frankie & The Heartstrings. Designer Magazine described them as "Layer upon layer of lush instrumentation build with each song as the musical backing to the narratives sung in the native home tongue. At times it reminds us of David Gedge's post-Wedding Present project Cinerama and the lighter, less intense moments of Hope Of The States"
