Unfortunately Mirrored Daughters have had to pull out of supporting Withered Hand for us on the 28th of October at The Victoria in Dalston.

But we're delighted to keep Mirrored Daughters' Mike on the bill and welcome @firestations.bsky.social to the line up.

Their latest album Many White Horses is a collection of sea-soaked acoustic songs and instrumentals, interwoven with field recordings and lyrics drawn from the immediate surroundings of a sailing expedition, all brought together with warm, textured production.

Fika Recordings @fikarecordings.com · 1d

Firestations are Mike Cranny, Laura Copsey, Martin Thompson (aka Bit Cloudy), Tom Hargreaves and Neil Walsh. Their music spans genres from shoegaze to alt-pop and harmony-driven psychedelia.

T-MINUS SEVEN DAYS UNTIL THE LAST SINGLE DROPS FROM THE ALBUM!

We even shot a music video for Train Wreck and subjected Simo to lots of things inside an alligator costume that they may be scarred for life by.

Simo sitting on a tractor in an alligator costume, with the alligator head sitting next to them. They look... contemplative. Some might say scarred, even.

Manchester! What a way to end our little run of Bright Nights shows. You welcomed us back into your warm-hearted city with open arms after a decade’s absence. Now we scatter again to our homes around the globe, and hope we will see you all again soon.

It has been pointed out to me that Ship’s Piano isn’t on Spotify. To rectify this slightly I’ve made the album completely free on Bandcamp.

I’ve also made the vinyl TEN POUNDS on www.hefnet.com (plus a little postage)

Fresh from having new band photographs taken by the wonderfully-talented Stephanie Gibson last weekend, we’ll be back onstage this evening at Stereo to support our old friends Allo Darlin'.

Expect to hear tracks from our upcoming album, and then see us dancing among the crowd.
