Influenced by artists such as XTC, Big Star, and The Brian Jonestown Massacre, the band combine shimmering hooks, layered instrumentation, and understated intensity into a sound that feels both classic and refreshingly modern.

Wuthering Heights: A Kate Bush & Friends Discotheque

Calling all Babooshkas, Army Dreamers and Rubberband Girls! Put on your Red Shoes, saddle up the Hounds Of Love and get Running Up That Hill back to the Top Of The City (aka Aatma in Manchester) for a night dedicated to the genius of the iconic Kate Bush! And we’re counting it as a sort of “Happy Birthday Kate” party, as her birthday is on 30th July, so it’s near as dammit! • HEADS WE’RE DANCING: We’ll be doing the Jig Of Life and Moving around the dancefloor to all of Kate’s best singles, album tracks and collaborations, all interspersed with Moments Of Pleasure from complimentary artists such as Tori Amos, Fleetwood Mac, Florence + The Machine, Eurythmics & Annie Lennox, David Bowie, Bjork, Pet Shop Boys and more! • CLOUDBUSTING: We’ll be creating an authentic atmosphere for Them Heavy People through an overuse of smoke machines to accompany the free Kate face masks, Kate lyric posters and Kate capes (yes, CAPES!) that we’ll be giving away on a first come, first served basis on the night! • WOW: Dressing up is positively encouraged as we’ll be having ‘Bush-offs’ during the night, where lucky contestants will be invited onto our stage to lip-sync for their lives to selected songs from the Bush back catalogue, with prizes for the ultimate King Of The Mountain! • EAT THE MUSIC: And we’ll be playing Kate’s iconic debut single Wuthering Heights on the hour, every hour (alternating both versions)!
