THE MOLEHILL BLOCKBUSTER: Wet Man, Open Fly & Merlo

The summer’s (just about) here. What better way to celebrate the arrival of the sunny season than entering into a darkened room and watching a blockbuster? Or, entering into an even darker room (Aatma) for the Molehill’s latest line-up of D.I.Y delight?

The Molehill invite you to their fourth event of the Aatma residency. This month hosts one of their most eclectic lineups yet.

Wet Man believes in lizard men – so should you. The electronic Dadaist headlines the night. Think Soft Cell – if they were one man. And from Sheffield, not Leeds.

Main support is OPEN FLY – Manchester’s femme-punk phenomena. As loud as they are catchy.  And opening the night is MERLO – newcomers with fire in their bellies. Soft goths with a point to prove.

See it…. before you go swimming.

1919, Ombudsmen & Pleasure Island

Spill out into Rat Alley for some cigs and booze between three of the hottest acts the scene has to offer.

Iceman Productions brings you the twisted, gothic melodies of 1919, the angular rhythms of Ombudsmen and the catchy, trashy hooks of Pleasure Island at Aatma in Manchester on Friday 6th October

Intersperse the joy of these three by rubbing shoulders with the most interesting surviving members of Manchester’s counter-culture scene, whether it be in the venue, rat alley or the toilets.
