Melvin Gibbs / Night & Day DESCRIPTION:Arto Lindsay\, self-taught corrosive guitar scratcher\, might be the closest experimental noise has to a soul man. Since the late 1970s\, when he unleashed one of the world’s greatest manifestations of—in the immortal words of Lester Bangs—“horrible noise” with his experimental rock trio DNA\, one of the flag-bearers of the New York City’s downtown No Wave zeitgeist — this vanguardist guitarist\, singer\, record producer and experimental composer has spent decades at the off-the-beaten sonic paths and colorful intersections of music creations and stage performances\, including forging art-pop (a)tunes that melds koan-like poetry with the sophisticated Latin pop he grew up hearing while living in Brazil with his missionary parents. His heavy involvement\, as both artist and producer\, in a string of Tropicalia and Bossa records from the late 1980s onwards attest to his maverick\, shape-shifting interests. \n\n\n\nMost of Arto’s songs bask in a lovely sonic tension\, where the hushed intimacy of the melodies and vocals is battered by low-end grooves that shimmy with elegance but aren’t overcrowded by the singer’s gentle warble. The King of Skronk doesn’t play actual soul jams. Rather\, his trademark iconoclastic guitar style is\, kinda unsexy-sexy: rhythmic\, atonal\, full of discordant bursts and unseemly\, metallic feels. But in a career that goes back more than 40 years\, with help from a changing cast of instrumentalists and songwriters at the vanguard of various styles\, including by his long-time collaborator Melvin Gibbs (once called “the greatest bassist in the world” by Time Out New York magazine)\, the pioneer “non-musician” Arto Lindsay has put a high premium on feelings\, expressing universality of love and intimacy even while he’s bucking convention. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/arto-lindsay-feat-melvin-gibbs/ LOCATION:Night and Day Cafe\, 26 Oldham Street\, Manchester\, M1 1JN CATEGORIES:Live Gig ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://groovement.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-24-at-21.03.02.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20231016T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20231016T193000 DTSTAMP:20260416T191627 CREATED:20230921T221030Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230921T221031Z UID:32030-1697484600-1697484600@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:Corto.Alto / BOTW DESCRIPTION:corto.alto is the brain-child of award winning multi-instrumentalist\, composer & producer Liam Shortall.

Whether commandeering packed out festival tents\, esteemed venues or club stages\, FLOHIO has an inimitable live presence that must be seen to be believed. \n\n\n\nThe rapper\, singer-songwriter\, party starter and artist extraordinaire is the table-shaking\, fiercely independent titan carving out a unique lane for herself in music; that of a disruptor. A unique figure utilising the infectious sounds of UK music – everything from sparse grime to immersive\, trippy house – to deliver visceral\, high-energy rap anthems for a generation. 2022’s acclaimed debut album “Out of Heart” was an opus brimming with brutal honesty and euphoric production\, elevating FLOHIO’s lyrical steez. An album that was almost two years in the making\, its creation was fastened by the pandemic and its ensuing lockdown\, forcing FLOHIO to halt her hectic touring schedule and renew her creative devices. \n\n\n\nAcross 12 tracks\, executively produced by industrial hip-hop innovators God Colony and Speech\, it reveals the most vulnerable yet enduring version of FLOHIO. The result is a debut album flourishing with artistic poise\, an elegant exploration of UK rap and its fringes.‘Out Of Heart’ was a career-defining statement set to propel FLOHIO into the stratosphere\, met with widespread critical praise and cover features with NOISEY\, BEAT and most recently Heroine magazine. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness the album’s gravity in a live setting. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/flohio-yes/ LOCATION:YES\, 38 Charles Street\, Manchester\, M1 7DB CATEGORIES:Live Gig ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://groovement.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/flohio.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20231001T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20231001T190000 DTSTAMP:20260416T191627 CREATED:20230823T111142Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230823T111143Z UID:31945-1696186800-1696186800@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:Roc Marciano / Canvas DESCRIPTION:Boost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/roc-marciano-canvas/ LOCATION:Canvas\, Unit 5\, Building 4\, Circle Square\, Oxford Rd\, Manchester\, M60 7HB\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Live Gig ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://groovement.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Snapinsta.app_368416832_819088696364797_3133262999319575346_n_1080.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230912T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230912T190000 DTSTAMP:20260416T191627 CREATED:20230823T110750Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230823T110751Z UID:31941-1694545200-1694545200@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:Blu & Exile + M.E.D. / BOTW DESCRIPTION:Boost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/blu-exile-m-e-d-botw/ LOCATION:Band On The Wall\, 27 Swan St\, Manchester\, M4 5JZ\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Live Gig ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://groovement.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/IMG_3487.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230829T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230829T190000 DTSTAMP:20260416T191627 CREATED:20230830T110132Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230830T110133Z UID:31967-1693335600-1693335600@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:B.
