Manchester

Twin Tribes + tbc

The Deaf Institute, Manchester 135 Grosvenor Street, Manchester

Twin Tribes was formed in 2017 in Brownsville, Texas, a border town with a unique cultural blend that subtly influences their music. Luis Navarro and Joel Niño Jr. bonded over their shared love of post-punk and darkwave, deciding to create music that paid homage to the brooding, atmospheric sounds of the 1980s while adding their own modern twist. Despite coming from a region not typically associated with the goth or darkwave scene, they carved out a niche and quickly gained recognition within underground circles.

Their DIY approach played a crucial role in their early success. They self-released their debut album, […]

Liverpool

Slash Need + The Mall

Quarry, Liverpool 17 Love Lane, Liverpool

Moonfrog and Quarry come together to present to you The Mall and Slash Need on 18.02.26

The Mall

The Mall is music for punks who dance. In the suburban wasteland of middle America, malls exist as decaying artifacts of conspicuous consumption–forgotten tombs haunted by the ghosts of capitalism’s failures. Using sequencers and analog synths, the Mall’s Mark Plant raises the dead to get glamorous amidst decay. Fusing the shimmering, plastic qualities of 80s dance electronica with the punishing, visceral energy of midwestern hardcore, the Mall soundtracks the liminal space between beauty and anger, celebration and cynicism, resilience and destruction. Performances […]
