Description

Man of Moon are a two piece psychedelic rock band formed in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Chris Bainbridge and Michael Reid met in college in 2014 when they formed the band and starting writing and gigging almost instantly after first jamming together in class which led to them dropping out of college to focus completely on the music.

In 2015 they released first single 'The Road' on Manchester label Melodic which the New York Times said was 'the best debut single from a UK band since 'Ceremony' by New Order'. This gave the band a huge step up in the industry and they started getting impressive support slots with bands such as The Phantom Band, We Were Promised Jetpacks, Frightened Rabbit and more.

In 2016 the band released their first EP 'Medicine' on Melodic Records which saw the band embarking on their first UK tour up and down the country, supporting The Twilight Sad on tour and playing major festivals such as T in the Park, Belladrum and The Great Escape.

In 2018 the band went on tour with one of their favourite bands 'Django Django', the band's biggest tour to date consisting of 20+ shows all over Europe and the UK playing to huge crowds every night. This was the band's first major foot print in Europe and are planning to go back soon.

2019 is the year that Man of Moon have been building up to. They will be releasing a brand new EP, 'Chemicals' and have plans to follow up with an album later in the year!

Description

Located on Oldham Street in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, Gullivers is an iconic, lively and bustling bar with a long history dating all the way back to 1865.
Gullivers has had many different guises over the years. It was originally a Wilson’s house called The Albert Hotel, then The Grenadier before J.W. Lees brewery bought the pub in the 1970s. They renamed it Gullivers and it has existed in its current form to this day.
But there’s much more to Gullivers than just the busy bar; it also houses two distinct yet complementary live music and performance spaces; the upstairs Ballroom – a 100 capacity gig venue with a raised stage and the downstairs Lounge – an intimate, 40 capacity space ideal for acoustic or low-key performances.
As well as working with established and longstanding promoters from Manchester and beyond, Gullivers prides itself on being a welcoming, supportive space and a creative hub for the city’s grassroots artistic communities; with many now successful bands, artists, performers and promoters cutting their teeth within its walls.
This rare combination of space, location and ethos allows Gullivers to boast a busy calendar of live music, spoken word, comedy, theatre, film screenings, exhibitions and much more on almost every night of the week.
