A-TOTA-SO × POPTONES, with support from TRUNCHEON and TÜNG
As the lead singer of Inspiral Carpets during their glory years (1989-2011), Tom Hingley’s voice defined an era of Manchester music. Accompanied by his band, The Kar-pets, he’ll be delivering high-energy, authentic performances of hits such as “This Is How It Feels,” “Saturn 5,” and “Dragging Me Down.”
Special guests Brian & The Onions will be hitting the stage beforehand.
Starting the evening’s proceedings will be the indie rock band Death Of The High Street, who are releasing their new single ‘Reach’ on the 28th of August.
Later on, Tom will be spinning his own blend of tunes, new and old, in what promises to be an electric night just before Christmas. See you on the dance floor!

Winter Hotel – Formed in late 2017, Manchester’s Winter Hotel have created a unique, hard-hitting and emotive brand of poetic hardcore, mixing characteristics typically found in genres like Slam and Death Metal with those of Post-Hardcore, Metalcore and Midwest Emo, removing the boundaries between a vast spectrum of sub-genres. Drawing from both human nature and lived experience, all of the band’s works stem beyond music; creating a world of poetry, prose and audio that combine to tell compelling narratives that dig beneath the surface of what it means to be human.
Get ready for a night of unforgettable vibes and tunes with DylanHunter bringing the heat live!

Manchester it’s time to bring rap back to its roots!
For too long underground rappers turn up to open mics full of indie bands and singers, with no place to showcase their talent.
That’s why we’ve decided to Raise The Bar!
Rappers have got 9 minutes to shell it on the mic, impress the crowd and gain the chance to win a paid champion set at our next event.
You lot in the crowd, we haven’t forgot about you!
The first 10 people who turn up on the night will be offered the important role of being our judges and play an important part of selecting our next champion!
Vici will headline RTB this month and will bring exceptional vibes to the stage! We’re excited to see what he has in store for us!
And we can’t forget, last months winner Tully will be in the champion slot for his paid set after shutting down the open mic last month 🎤
And let’s not forget, the rap scene would not be the same without our producers so we gotta put them on.
We’ll have some on Manny’s top producers sending in some of their hardest beats to be used for the late night cypher with Diligent Fingers where anyone can pick up the mic and spray.
£5 on the door!

Looking For A Night Out Freshers Week? We Might Have Something For You.
Four metal bands taking the stage at Aatma!
Welcome to the first installment of the PCP end of year showcase!
To kick it all off, we have Nottingham legends A-Tota-So:
a-tota-so are a noisy rock band based in the UK, they write music inspired by grunge, mathrock and post hardcore and love to get guest vocalists to join them live and have worked with 80 different guests so far (and counting)
Also sometimes written as atotaso , it’s kinda like “I told you so” – dumb name, big riffs!
They’ve just released two new belting singles earlier in the year, “Death Rattle” and “Form of Mass”, following their upcoming album release in September “I Told You So”.
You can listen to them here:
https://a-tota-so.bandcamp.com/
POPTONES, are an alt-rock band from Copenhagen, with a mixture of dulcet tones and eerie vocals at times, then into hard hitting noise and distorted vox. It’s like listening to a theatre production of a descent into madness. We’re all here for it. They’re out and about touring with the A-Tota-So lads, so if Marty reckons they’re the dog’s bollocks, then you’re surely in for a good show.
Go listen:

TRUNCHEON
You’ve seen these lads a couple of times now, but as they’re fairly new (and brilliant), it’s only fair to put them on and push them as much as possible. If you want alt-rock/grunge, with a hint of prog, this is the band to see.
We’re expecting an EP out later in the year, so keep your ears peeled for that.
TÜNG
These two chaps are a sight to see, instrumental math-rock, with only banjo and drums, so they’ll fit right in with the roster of bands on for the night.
They’ve just released a three track EP, which you can listen to here:
