SONGS ABOUT DEATH (Liverpool Psych)

Event information

Songs About Death are a truly unique, psych-acoustic act from Liverpool, who are playing in Manchester for the first time. They create a psychedelic soundscape full of echoes, delays and reverb, and sing songs about... death! But this isn't necessarily dark, never mind goth... it can be even fun... in a magick, crowleyan kind of way! More info: www.songsaboutdeath.co.uk

Support comes from local legends Billy Ruffian, whose literate, shambolic art-rock got them signed to cult label Filthy Little Angels. After a long hiatus, they're reuniting with a new lineup and this is their first comeback gig! Info: myspace.com/billyruffianmusic/

First act on the night is the enigmatic Esa Shields, who creates true psychedelic one-man symphonies that sound like nothing else. think Brian Wilson...on Mars... jamming with the Flaming Lips.
