PINK MIST PRESENTS:
Thank: 10th Birthday Party
Plus Special Guests
‭The‬‭ Rock‬‭ Band‬‭ Thank‬‭ From‬‭ Leeds‬‭ first‬‭ emerged‬‭ in‬‭ 2016‬‭ from‬‭ the‬‭ scene‬‭ surrounding‬‭ CHUNK‬‭ ,‭ their‬‭ city’s‬‭ notorious‬‭ and‬‭ now‬‭ sadly‬‭ defunct‬‭ ‬‭ DIY‬‭ space.‬‭ The‬‭ band‬‭ spent‬‭ six‬‭ years‬‭ honing‬‭ their‬‭ brand‬‭ of‬‭ volatile‬‭ and‬‭ joyously‬‭ cathartic‬‭ post-punk‬ alongside‭ a‬‭ hivemind‬‭ of‬‭ grindcore‬‭ and‬‭ powerviolence‬‭ bands,‬‭ UK‬‭ garage‬‭ and‬‭ bashment‬‭ DJs,‬‭ and‬‭ most‬‭ things‬‭ in‬‭ between,‬‭ before releasing their debut full length album‬‭ ‘Thoughtless‬‭ Cruelty’ in 2022.‬
Having‬‭ weathered‬‭ various‬‭ lineup‬‭ changes,‬‭ since‬‭ early‬‭ 2023‬‭ Thank‬‭ has‬‭ settled‬‭ on‬‭ a‬‭ core‬‭ quartet‬‭ of‬‭ Lewis‬‭ Millward‬
‭ (guitar/synth),‬‭ Cameron‬‭ Moitt‬‭ (bass),‬‭ Steve‬‭ Myles‬‭ (drums)‬‭ and‬‭ Freddy‬‭ Vinehill-Cliffe‬‭ (vocals/guitar).‬‭ This‬‭ incarnation‬‭ of‬‭ the‬‭ band‬‭ released‬‭ ‘I‬‭ Have‬‭ A‬‭ Physical‬‭ Body‬‭ That‬‭ Can‬‭ Be‬‭ Harmed’ in‬‭ late‬‭ 2024,‬‭ an‬‭ acid-fried‬‭ concoction‬‭ of‬‭ hardcore‬‭ punk‬‭ fury,‬ ‭ jungle-inspired freneticism and synth pop bombast, and their first release via‬‭ Big Scary Monsters‬‭ .‬
2025‬‭ was‬‭ a‬‭ big‬‭ year‬‭ for‬‭ Thank‬‭ ,‭ starting‬‭ with‬‭ a‬‭ UK‬‭ co-headline‬‭ tour‬‭ alongside‬‭ Kal‬‭ Marks‬‭ and‬‭ ending‬‭ with‬‭ a‬‭ run‬‭ of‬‭ shows‬‭ opening‬‭ for‬‭ Mclusky‬‭ and‬‭ Young‬‭ Knives‬‭ across‬‭ the‬‭ UK‬‭ and‬‭ Germany,‬‭ not‬‭ to‬‭ mention‬‭ their‬‭ busiest‬‭ festival‬‭ season‬‭ yet, ‭ including‬‭ explosive‬‭ sets‬‭ at‬‭ 2000‬‭ Trees‬‭ ,‭ Truck‬‭ Festival‬‭ ,‭ Manchester‬‭ Punk‬‭ Festival‬‭ ,‭ ArcTanGent‬‭ and‬‭ more.‬‭
“It‬‭ makes‬‭ me‬‭ laugh‬‭ when‬‭ Leeds‬‭ DIY‬‭ lifers‬‭ still‬‭ refer‬‭ to‬‭ us‬‭ as‬‭ a ‬‭‘new band’,‬‭ but‬‭ I’m‬‭ not‬‭ gonna‬‭ shatter‬‭ that‬‭ illusion‬‭ if‬‭ it‬‭ makes‬‭ us‬ seem‭ young‬‭ and‬‭ exciting,” jokes‬‭ Vinehill-Cliffe‬‭. ‬‭“We’ve‬‭ got‬‭ a‬‭ full‬‭ decade‬‭ of‬‭ material‬‭ to‬‭ pull‬‭ from‬‭ at‬‭ this‬‭ point,‬‭ so‬‭ I’m‬‭ excited‬‭ to‬‭ wheel‬‭ out‬‭ a‬‭ few‬‭ old‬‭ tunes‬‭ we‬‭ haven’t‬‭ played‬‭ for‬‭ a‬‭ while‬‭ at‬‭ these‬‭ shows,‬‭ as‬‭ well‬‭ as‬‭ road-testing‬‭ some‬‭ of‬‭ the‬‭ new‬‭ stuff‬‭ we’ve‬ been cooking up.
