Sunday September 23rd
Musicians Without Borders presents:
THE FAMILY BIZARRE (live)
DJ STEVE MORRIS (New Order)
DJ TINTIN (New Order tour DJ)
THE FAMILY BIZARRE are a true Manchester supergroup, tipped to take the world by storm. Featuring vocalist JEZ KERR from legendary Manchester band A CERTAIN RATIO, drummer SIMON WOLSTENCROFT who was a long-serving player for THE FALL and IAN BROWN, NEW ORDER tour DJ TINTIN and BEATEN WING ORCHESTRA'S LIS MURPHY, The Family Bizarre are one of the most exciting bands to have been formed in Manchester with their unique blend of industrial funk and haunting melody. Showcasing tracks from their eagerly-awaited new album, this FAMILY BIZARRE appearance is one of the most highly-anticipated gigs of the year - make sure you don't miss out.
DJ STEVE MORRIS (New Order)
Musicians Without Borders are especially delighted to present an ultra-rare DJ set by legendary NEW ORDER drummer STEVE MORRIS. Arguably the most influential Manchester band of all time, NEW ORDER rose from the punk ashes of JOY DIVISION to revolutionise British music with their innovative mix of shimmering guitars and electronic rhythms. STEVE MORRIS is taking a break from NEW ORDER'S 2012 World Tour to play an exclusive dj set of eclectic electronic music in support of THE FAMILY BIZARRE and will be ably assisted by NEW ORDER'S long-serving tour dj TINTIN.
