Still the best British band I have seen all year, probably, Carlisle-based trio Manatees (pictured) hit the road later this month alongside Ashford-based rock titans Bossk. It's going to be epic.
Probably. You should go, really, if the idea of Isis heaviness meeting proggy fug and bewildering noise is pretty, y'know, ace to you. It is to me! Hurray! Don't judge Manatees just on their on-MySpace material, either - when we had them play our February DiScover Club gig, alongside Rolo Tomassi and Down I Go, I nearly died! Twice! Yep!

but look at either band's MySpace. Shirley they'd be the most accurate?
Is the Leeds date on Friday 8th?
Anyone know where I can get tickets for the Leeds date? Google doesn't seem to offer anything helpful.
