Annie-Claude Deschênes with THE DSM IV

Annie-Claude Deschênes plays Future Yard on Friday 23 October, with the Liverpool trio The DSM IV supporting. It's a standing show, so you'll be on your feet for the night.

Deschênes comes from Montreal, where she's been a fixture of the city's independent music scene for twenty years. Over that time she's worn almost every hat there is: frontwoman, singer, musician, songwriter, performer and visual artist. Most of that work has been with the cult bands Duchess Says and PyPy, but her solo project, LES MANIÈRES DE TABLE, takes things in a different direction. It's a cooler, dystopian-disco sound that produced a full album in 2024 and the single 'Main de Fer' in 2025, so there's recent material to draw from.

Supporting her is The DSM IV, a Liverpool gothic alt-pop trio fronted by singer McKnight. Between them, that's a fair bit of ground to cover in one night: Deschênes' Montreal-born disco and the local gothic pop of The DSM IV. It's a standing show, so you'll be on your feet for both sets.

Tickets are £14 in advance plus booking fee, and the night starts at 7:30pm at Future Yard, 75 Argyle Street.
