Immerse yourself in an evening of heavy, hypnotic sonic textures as São Paulo outfit Firefriend brings their signature blend of underground rock to Manchester. Formed in late 2005 by bassist Julia Grassetti and guitarist Yury Hermuche, the band has steadily built a global reputation across two decades for delivering deeply atmospheric, enveloping soundscapes that merge the boundaries of psychedelia, space rock, and shoegaze.
With an extensive and prolific catalog featuring 13 LP releases distributed across the UK and the US, the group has cemented its status as one of the most compelling, fiercely independent names in contemporary alternative rock. Known for intense, multi-layered live performances that balance raw power with dreamlike, drifting melodies, their music offers a visceral live experience.
The upcoming tour introduces a brand new chapter for the band, showcasing an expanded sonic palette following the addition of drummer Ricardo Cifas and synth/keyboardist Pinhead. This updated dynamic promises to elevate their sweeping, cinematic arrangements to new heights.
An unmissable opportunity for enthusiasts of experimental sounds, wall-of-sound distortion, and deep, rhythmic grooves to catch an essential international live act in an intimate setting.
This event is open to ages 18 and over.
