Live show by the Wigan indie band Stanleys, with support from Vienna Assembly, at The Engine Shed.
Stanleys play The Engine Shed on Sunday 6 December, with support from Vienna Assembly. It's a Sunday night gig, so it's one of those that works just as well if you're out for the evening as it does if you're keeping it low-key before the working week starts again.
Stanleys are a UK indie band from Wigan, fronted by Tom Concannon, with Jake Dorsman on guitar, Harry Ivory on bass and Rob Hilton on drums and backing vocals. They describe their sound as melodic guitar music built on collaborative songwriting, blending jangly guitars and accessible hooks with lyrics about everyday moments and modern life. It's that sort of indie that doesn't try to be anything other than what it is: songs you can actually sing along to, with the guitar work doing the heavy lifting.
They've built their following as a live act, selling out cross-country headline tours and playing festivals like Glastonbury's Strummerville Stage, where they've shared bills with Richard Ashcroft, The Libertines, Inspiral Carpets, The Lathums, Jamie Webster and The View. That's a fair spread of names to have on the same stage, and it gives you a decent idea of the company they keep. If you're into guitar-led indie, they'll fit right in.
