These are the gigs we're going to in February 2023
After a dark January with few gigs to look forward to, February sees Manchester's live music scene explode into life.
Tickets were pretty much impossible to get, with thousands of fans crashing the War Child website hours before they went on sale.Rebecca Black — Gorilla — February 7 If you had access to the internet in 2011, then chances are you know exactly who Rebecca Black is. At the tender age of 13, she became a viral sensation with her song - and its unforgettable accompanying music video - Friday.
Brian Jonestown Massacre — Ritz — February 4 While I’d love to give you a preview of the mighty Brian Jonestown Massacre, that becomes a bit difficult when erraticism is something of a hallmark for a band. One one hand, this musical collective has an expansive history - 18 albums and a string of compilations since their formation in 1990, taking in everything from 80s shoegaze, dreampop, and heavier 1960s rock influences.
Jennifer B blinks its eyes open with sparing, dirge-esque synth drones on track 'Neon', working all the way up to an orchestral crescendo on 'Glasgow', thanks to the 18-piece ensemble the duo brought in for the album. The cinematic opening of 'Debra' could easily be shoehorned into the Blade Runner: 2049 soundtrack, while the organ-themed introduction to 'Concrete Over Water' stops suddenly to reveal twinkly pop perfection.
Their latest album Where I'm Meant To Be features vocal contributions from Sampa the Great, Kojey Radical, and Emeli Sandé. But the rest of the LP released last year showcases what the band do best — jazz-inspired instrumentals travelling through a journey of genres. The group are probably the most mellow of the post-Brexit new wave clutch of acts that have emerged at the start of the 2020s — and are certainly the most interesting. One listen of Florence Shaw’s spoken-word lyrics is enough to verify that.
