Schande//Oh Hippo//Shredding

Event information

Schande hit up Manchester in support of their debut LP Once Around, out via Thurston Moore's Daydream Library Series!! Once Around focuses on notions of personal existence and subjectivity. Mirrored by the band's collaborative musical process, the album aims to explore the ways in which even the most personal journeys depend on others, something the band of expats -- Chochinov is from the US, drummer Ryan Grieve hails from Canada, and bassist Gio Villaraut is from Italy -- navigate daily as they establish and reinvent themselves in their adoptive home of the UK. They also absolutely rip.

Support comes from Manchester indiepop stalwarts Oh Hippo. They are a 6-piece indie pop number made up of members of Flesh Couch, Precious Metals, Ether Mech, Wurms, scram, HUP & Kites, full of soaring vocal harmonies, smooth basslines, and a subtle undercurrent of anxious dissonance. Come have a beautiful time.

Opening the night are mysterious and contemptuous new band Shredding, "the sound of the worst people in the world winning". They go hard as hell, and have a morbid fascination with the mystical powers of Elvis. For fans/members of Mumbles, Oh Hippo, Flesh Couch etc.
