The fun starts at 6.20PM, we hope to see you there.

The entire musical lineup, times, entertainment and event information can be viewed here, thanks again to Opus for the other stage.

This weekend The Harley runs its third 2 Poor 2 Pitch event, which features national bands and a selection of Sheffield’s most idiosyncratic soundsmiths, such as The Legend of the 7 Black Tentacles.

The Sheffield group have been fine-tuning their hip-hop jazz and metal for some years and have stumbled upon the winning formula: “We used to have different tracks that nodded to different sounds but we are getting better at creating tracks that encorporate the various genres in one song,” says Ben Eckersley (cello).

“We have eight people in the band and that’s helped to mark us out. We all come from different musical backgrounds.”

The group’s instruments range from cello to a Kaos Pad – which creates unusual effects.

The band’s moniker is not without meaning, either, says Ben. “There is a story, a ‘legend’ behind the name but you need all the band members to be present in order to tell it. The idea is is that our songs each tell a bit of the legend.”

The eight-piece will share a bill with the Liverpudlian post punkers Clinic, who support Radiohead later this year.

Other acts include Johnny Foreigner, Sky Larkin, who will be playing material from latest LP Kaleide, Cats in Paris, Grammatics and Cardiff experimentalists Islet.

The festival runs from tomorrow, Friday to Sunday at The Harley, Glossop Road.

Bigger doesn’t always mean better, but CityLife is fairly confident that moves to grow the fabulous Sounds From The Other City Festival into a 12-hour occupation of every venue on the Chapel Street corridor is just about the finest thing that could have happened to Salford in a very long time.

The annual event has thoroughly busted out of Islington Mill and is now staging gigs at The Salvation Army’s music hall, St Philip’s Church, the neighbouring Angel Centre and six pubs: two floors each at the Old Pint Pot, Kings Arms and Black Lion, plus The Crescent, the New Oxford and the Rovers Return.

What’s more, CityLife is even reliably informed that the festival is putting on gigs in a phonebox as part of an artist-led project called Box Office, outside Salford Central train station.

Big enough for an intimate audience of one, the phonebox stage will feature 10-minute exclusive sessions from Six Organs Of Admittance, Andrew WK, Tuneyards and others played down the phone especially for the caller.

None of the other venues can offer that kind of exclusivity, but what they lack in intimacy they make up for in physicality. Appearing in person at the remaining venues are absolutely dozens of bright lights from the current Manchester scene plus many international up-and-comers.

Honorary Mancunian, student Tom Waits and folk siren Jesca Hoop will snatch the headlines alongside 2010’s ones-to-watch Egyptian Hip Hop, In The City faves May 68, math poppers Dutch Uncles and heartfelt singer-songwriter Jo Rose, but there are literally dozens of bands looking after Manchester’s reputation.

Among them are the newly reassembled indie jazz masters Go Lebanon, melodic scholars of electronica Borland, riff ‘n’ roll duo Breaking Colts, ambient choral trio A Middle Sex, musical improvisers Levenshulme Bicycle Orchestra, uber-girlie trio Hotpants Romance, sonic experimenter Leveret, and the ultimate mad for it masters of musical mash-up Frazer King. But it isn’t just Manchester’s finest you should be looking out for.

Worth more than a chunk of your evening are classical-hip-hop-dub-metal-prog-rockers (yes, that’s as confusing as it sounds) The Legend Of The 7 Black Tentacles, New Yorkers and cult heroes Damon & Naomi, Aussie sound installation artist Jasmine Maschina, Canada’s powerpop trio The Rural Alberta Advantage, Welsh supergroup (of a sort) Islet, star-gazing pop genius Windmill, Brighton’s out-there indie four piece Fujiya And Miyagi, and Yorkshire troubadour Serious Sam Barrett.

By night, the Old Pint Pot, Kings Arms and Black Lion all host club nights into the wee hours, featuring DJs from Bring On The Dancing Horses, Underachievers Please Try Harder, Stop Making Sense and Contort Yourself.

And the paltry sum for all this entertainment, you ask? Well, that’ll be just 15 quid.

Only a touch more than the average club entry fee, but infinitely more rewarding.

Various venues – April 30, 2010 – £15.

As the poster above suggests, we’re honoured to play X-Ray Horse’s first birthday. Congratulations guys, I didn’t know you could keep a horse contaminated with that amount of concentrated radiation for the period of a 12 months and still pull off a great line up like this one, effort. We’re headlining the evenings festivities, supported by the Elephant Keys, Nephu Huzzband, Roman Android and DJ’s sets by Lucy? and X-Ray Horse DJ’s and a special set from our tentacle trio DJ, Baron Von Badd.

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE…

We’re also supporting the Broken Door in the launch of their debut album on the 27th of February @ The Dog and Partridge in Bolton. We originally put them on last year at the still hiatal improv night Consoul and recently did a spot of recording for Emma from TBD, also be on the look out for Barkers remix of a new Broken Door track.

Good friends From the Kites of San Quentin are performing one of their future dub, vocoder, wonder marvel sets. Should be interesting. Last time we got together was great and seriously painful the next morning. Shouts to El Bloody Boyo.

Also on the bill are Manchester based quintet, With That Knife playing, what has to been described to me as a northern take of At The Drive In & Motion City Soundtrack. Check ‘em out
