Gig of the week

Twisted Wheel, Manchester Academy, Saturday.

The Saddleworth trio is high on the release of the self-titled debut album, launched at HMV’s Oldham store with a live performance last month.

With an impressive list of famous fans, including Oasis, Ian Brown and Clint Boon, the lads are truly on their way to superstardom. They will support Oasis on their stadium tour and open for Paul Weller on his outdoor forest tour this summer.

DETROIT SOCIAL CLUB (supporting Twisted Wheel)

Debut single “Rivers and Rainbows” led to the lads selling homemade CDs outside gigs and the Detroit Social Club following started to form. The lads have recently signed to Fiction Records - home of Snow Patrol, White Lies and Ian Brown.
