calendar » Mancubist: Life is good in Manchester

Regina Spektor @ Academy

No relation to producer Phil Spector or footballer Jonathan Spector sadly. Lovely voice, very playful and inventive. �15 seems a bit steep for a gig at the university, mind.

Tickets �15 adv

Decemberists @ Academy

Ranting American pop with a subtle Morrissey fixation. A rewarding live experience.

Four Tet @ Academy

Keiran Hebden is unpredictable live: this’ll be either a rave or, with drummer Steve Reid, a jazzy delight. Luckily Reid will be present.

Damien Rice @ Apollo

Long-awaited comeback by the man they call Rice. Tickets are going for �150 a pair on eBay. Expect heartfelt ballads and assorted emotions galore.
