Kontravoid’s masked mystique has remained for over a decade.

His productions, such as 2019’s “Too Deep” and 2021’s “Faceless,” dive to the most derelict corners of foggy, strobe-lit clubs: there is no choice but to dance. But there is an uncanny softness and obvious songwriting ability to compose heart-wrenching songs that are both captivating and […]

Black Doldrums + Hey Bulldog + Slab

Gullivers, Manchester 109 Oldham St, Manchester

Black Doldrums deal in a dark, shoegazing psych that melds gothic post-punk with a leather-clad rock’n’roll spirit.

This show is expected to sell-out, so don't miss your chance to catch them in this relatively small venue.
