Live show by The Slow Readers Club, the Manchester post-punk band, at The Drill in Lincoln.
The Slow Readers Club play The Drill on Wednesday 21 April 2027. They're a Manchester band, and the line-up is the one you'll see on the record: Aaron Starkie on vocals, Kurtis Starkie on guitar, James Ryan on bass and David Whitworth on drums. They write anthemic, uplifting post-punk alt-rock that's built them a following across the UK and Europe, with radio support from the likes of Christine Hawkins, Steve Lamacq and John Kennedy.
They've got a top-ten album, The Joy Of The Return, and three other top-40 records behind them. Along the way, they've shared stages with a long list of names: James, Pixies, Morrissey, Noel Gallagher, Elbow, The Charlatans, Shed 7, Catfish and The Bottlemen and Jesus and Mary Chain. It's a fair bit of ground to cover, from the indie-rock of the Charlatans to the post-punk of the Pixies, and that's the kind of company they've kept.
