Well I could spend a para or so bemoaning how busy “Rocktober” is for gigs and festivals in Manchester. But why waste breathe with so much going on? And it all kicks off this Friday evening with the highly recommended double-bill of Shrag and Standard Fare at Kraak Gallery (but you read this week’s interview with Emma and Dan of SF didn’t you?) plus at least SIX other gigs too tonight. And this is before we get to the not-one-but-two 3-day industry shindigs Unconvention and In The City this month. Or the one-dayers like Rowf Rowf Rowf or Oxjam.
As usual a mixtape of recommended gigs this month. And said mixtape and listings below don’t even touch the line-ups for these events (well I did sneak Yuck in who are playing ITC - too good not to). The full list of bands for In The City is now up on Facebook and a reliable guide of which new bands to see as always is over at The Pigeon Post. Link for the mixtape [58 mins / 61 MB] for the rest of October is in the post following this one.
