About
SHAKING HEAD (10:00 PM)
(Art rock - Manchester, UK)
Shaking Hand is a trio from Manchester that composes long and mesmerizing post-rock tracks, played in various tunings and time signatures, drawing inspiration from modernist architecture, the 90s American alternative scene, and Midwest emo. The band's musical DNA follows in the lineage of experimental guitar bands such as Women, Slint, Sonic Youth, Pavement, and Ulrika Spacek, while balancing it with the melodic sensibilities of Big Thief and the dynamic intimacy of Yo La Tengo.
