China Lane | Sat 25 March | Academy 3
NEW MANCHESTER MUSIC ALERT. You may recognize China Lane from busking on the streets of Manchester. We caught the quartet playing at Sofa Sounds in Manchester late last year; we were blown away with their fresh electro pop sound, yet another young talented band on the rise. You have plenty chance to check them, they are playing Academy 3 on Sunday and then again at The Wonder Inn, Revolution De Cuba in April and Soup Kitchen July.
