Happy New Year Comrades of the Cat!
Hoping you’ve slid or leapt or catapulted yourself into 2009 with ease and excitement!
We’ve a lot lined up for you over the coming months but just to let you know some highlights.
The ever-popular Words return on Saturday 17th and one to definitely hear/watch on Sunday is Kin
Here’s what has been said about her recently…
Kin makes crunched up, red-lit, guitar driven electronica/indie/folk/punk backing up an experimental vocal style and has been described as “…the best female vocalist in Manchester right now” (Cath Aubergine – Manchestermusic.co.uk)
Kin and her band – Howard Jones on drums (Bottomfeeders, Calvin Party) Ding on bass (Bobbie Peru, Frank Black, P.J. Harvey and many more) and Jon on keyboard, bleeps, contact mic and kaoss pad – have been raising Mancunian and Londoner eyebrows. She has been played on BBC Manchester radio, BBC6 Music and has appeared on Channel M’s City Centre Social.
“Kin makes taut and surprising music that underpins her beautiful cracked vocals brilliantly. She uses sparse touches as sharp as knives to draw you into both maelstroms of dizzying emotion and mists of delicate delights which leave you satisfyingly drained and wanting more” (Chris Long – BBC Manchester Radio Producer)
