Blondine

Test Plan and Ceremony East Coast come to Gullivers, Manchester on September 14th as part of their co-headline UK tour, joined by special guests electronic-grunge band Blondine. Expect a loud and messy night as London’s Test Plan give us blown-out noise/dance-punk that sounds like it’s constantly threatening to collapse in on itself — overloaded guitars, pummelling drums, bass that won’t sit still, and vocals pushed right to the edge. New York two-piece Ceremony East Coast bring a raw mix of shoegaze, psych and lofi post-punk, built around drone basslines, white-noise guitars and pitch-dark vocals. They play love songs with distortion, and have no interest in smoothing off the edges. We're also mega excited to have Blondine open for this fierce lineup, the Manchester-based electronic-grunge arts & crafts band are bringing their feral energy to the Gullivers stage, a hell of a kick off to the night. This one is for anyone who likes their gigs DIY, sweaty, abrasive and a bit unhinged. --- Anthony Fantano (The Needle Drop) on Test Plan, "Some of the most fiery, chaotic, insane and thrilling experimental rock, post-punk and noise rock that I’ve heard"
