It’s a new year, so go check out some of the best new music in the North West right now. Trof and The Skinny are teaming up once again to shine a light on the best underground acts. From moshing in the music hall to near house-party mayhem in the main bar, last time the chandeliers on the roof were rocking and cobwebs blown away by the likes of Cowtown, Peaness, and Pink Kink. This time they’re back, bigger and better than ever, with even more bands to truly kick 2017 in the ass!

Luxury Death // Henge // Heavy On The Magic // The Orielles // Seize The Chair // Mums // Strobes // Lake Of Snakes // Patty Hearst

TICKETS ON SALE NOW – £10 EARLYBIRD: http://www.thedeafinstitute.co.uk/event.php?id=1474&d=2017-01-28

Already announced are cosmic electro-psych explorers, Henge, recent Heavenly Records signings, The Orielles, and one of Manchester’s most talked about new bands, Luxury Death – the project of Nai Harvest’s Ben Thompson. There’s scuzzed-out garage rock from Heavy On The Magic, Sheffield’s lo-fi noise-poppers Seize The Chair, who’ve already played a sold out show at Deaf Institute with Drenge. Don’t miss riff heavy sludge monsters, Mums, the twiddly intricacies of Strobes, Lake Of Snakes’ experimental lounge metal, and the raucous indie-punk of Patty Hearst is sure to have steam rising from the crowd until they bubble over!
