It’s already been quite the year for YAANG.
Announced as part of illustrious hype list NME 100 where they were heralded as “one of the most exciting bands to come from the North West.” Growing their list of radio supporters including Huw Stephens, Steve Lamacq, Emily Pilbeam, Indie Forever, New Music Fix (BBC Radio 6 Music) and John Kennedy (Radio X). With backing too from The Line of Best Fit, DIYmag, Louder than War, CREEM, and Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon.
Formed when Davey Moore (vocals/sampler) met Oliver Duffy (Guitars/vocals) at a rhythmic awareness class at the University of Salford. The line up was later completed by Ben White (Ex-Working Men’s Club) on bass duties - Manchester punk trio YAANG have ever since been steadily building their reputation for furious, high-energy live shows, powered by the rocket-fuel combo of pulsating drum loops, clangorous guitars and a wicked sense of humour.
WHINGE
Post-punk informed DIY garage-rock played with gay abandon, Whinge slam together influences from the Mondays to the Sabbath, ESG to LCD, Genesis to The Rapture.
HAWK OWL
Neurotic Northern millennials staring the reaper in the face. A fuzzy blend of psych, post-punk and space rock.
Don’t miss YAANG, WHINGE and HAWK OWL on Sunday 18th January 2026!. Doors at 8pm, standing show.
