Sounds From The Other City Preview: Rosie Lowe
Tom Hickox was the first artist I ever promoted in Manchester, and last night (almost 6 years later) he found himself on Jools Holland. I’ve always tried to be forward-thinking, to help artists out at the beginning of their journey… to book with my heart.
I’ve taken the same approach for my stage at this year’s Sounds From The Other City. Headliner Rosie Lowe has the kind of voice that makes your spine tingle, with the ability to be both seductive and heartbreaking. Having collaborated with producers Kwes and Dave Okumu (The Invisible) to create the unique and beautiful Right Thing EP, it’s fair to say Rosie is an artist with a very clear vision. This will be my first opportunity to see her in a live setting, and all indications are it’s going to be a very special performance.

Sounds From The Other City Preview: Face + Heel
Given that I’m a closet wrestling fan, I was always going to be attracted to a band called Face + Heel. Consisting of Sinead McMillan and Luke Taylor, I discovered this Bristol based electronica duo thanks to stunning remix they did for my friends Ghosting Season. Having then got pretty much obsessed with a track called No Stars, I’ve stayed with them ever since. The self-released Chipped Tooth EP is a masterclass in intimate electronica, deep synths and lovelorn vocals building around a glitchy and yet soulful production. Face + Heel open up Sounds For The Other City for Now Wave at Peel Hall this Sunday.

Sounds From The Other City Preview – Gay
Chris Horkan who runs Hey! Manchester is an instantly recognisable figure around town, with his viking-esque beard and gentle frame (although it should be noted that beards are not unusual for Manchester promoters). He was one of the first people to give me advice when I first starting putting on events and I must have listened, because here we both are, still doing what we love. Looking through his Sounds From The Other City line-up this year, one name immediately stands out: Gay.
Largely ungoogleable but as their name suggests, Gay have a very carefree art-rock style… Talking Heads meets Grizzly Bear? The Toronto based act will be making a rare appearance on these shores and I’m looking forward to seeing how their songs will translate live. I think they could be perfect for a sunny day; poetic pop music with a slightly unpredictable nature.
Gay play The First Chop Brewing Arm.
