Quiet Houses

Quiet Houses play YES (The Basement) on Wednesday 14 October, with the night starting at 7:00 pm. It's a single-act bill, so they're the only name on the poster for the evening.

If you're not familiar with them, the name is a fair clue to the territory they work in. They sit at the quieter, more textural end of indie rock, and the Basement is a good fit for that kind of thing — a room that lets the smaller sounds breathe rather than drowning them in a big hall. It's the sort of gig that works best when you're actually in the room, hearing the space between the notes as much as the notes themselves.

For those who've followed them, it's a chance to hear them live in Manchester; for anyone else, it's a straightforward way to get a proper sense of what they do. The set is built around their own material, and with no support act to share the bill, they've the whole night to themselves.

Tickets start from £10, and the venue is YES (The Basement) at 38 Charles Street, Manchester M1 7DB. It kicks off at 7:00 pm on Wednesday 14 October.
