Youthmovies

With a dense, restless sound that veered through noise, post-rock, math rock, psych, jazz, and krautrock, often within the same song, Youthmovies (Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies), 2002-2010, were a fiercely unclassifiable quintet from Oxford.Touring extensively, they built a reputation as a chaotic and immersive live act.

Beyond conventional shows, they performed improvised soundtracks in galleries, theatres, and forests - playing as backing band for Saul Williams and Can's Damo Suzuki, among others.This show, their first Manchester date in 16 years (!), and their only northern date, marks a rare return from a band whose quiet influence on the UK underground far outweighed their commercial footprint.FFO: Squid, Black midi, Do Make Say Think, King Crimson, American Football.Presented by Grey Lantern.This is an 18+ event
