Our Mutual Friend is a regular night of the best new alternative music in the whole damn land. Wyatt: Mega buzzy hyped Mancunian alt country band – if you’re stopping because you think you’ve heard this one before, then stop and listen to these guys. They’ve got serious tunes and won’t be playing shows like this for long. For fans of Magnolia Electric Co era Jason Molina with a touch of the anthemic, psychy Elephant 6 TroupeNeve Cariad: What’s in the water up in Leeds hey? Good songwriting chops, that’s what. Neve Cariad is an ace songwriter, that’s for sure, blending fragile folk with rocking psychedelic – somewhere between Sandy Denny and Crazy Horse but totally its own thing. MBS – must be seen.Normal Village: Woah… Raucous, mathy, sludgy, popoid groovy noise assault from these young Leedsian whizz kids, featuring Spike Elwell of, well, Elwell for round 2 at OMF. Think Polvo wrestling Codeine while Big Black jeer at them. Works? Works. The Jubees: Cast in the light of mouldy peaches – lofi alternative rock that’s off emotional, off the cuff and full of noise
