Gig - SJM Concerts presents WE WERE PROMISED JETPACKS plus guests

On WE WERE PROMISED JETPACKS…..

"Quiet Little Voices is a rousing, sinewy, post-punk romp that crashes its way towards a Wedding Present-style duelling guitars denouement." The Guardian

"They’ve already perfected a sound that sits between post-punk and pop, soaring choruses saved from over-sentimentality by stark, even bleak verses." The Independent ‘5 bands to watch

"Much like label mates Frightened Rabbit, WWJP are all about the rugged reality of love, confusion, and creating visual music. Their closed eyes and open hearts carry ‘Quiet Little Voices’ tonight - and might well carry it onto radio waves too" Artrocker

"Blistering post-punk anthems of the highest pedigree: powerful and tuneful in just the right measures, with lead singer Adam Thompson’s understated vocals keeping proceedings in check just as they threaten to spiral out of control. It’s a definite statement of intent.” Q Magazine

“Rocketeering knapsacks gain the stratosphere-tickling booster of an anthemic Clydeside chorus, and we have lift off” NME

“Indie-pop pickery with brazen aplomb” The List

"An impeccable grab bag of influences and a miraculously accessible romantic sensibility." Skinny

"Seething with a newfound intent, their crisp, flighty choruses and sure-footed narratives are bolder and more purposeful than ever before" Drowned in Sound

"tedius, vapid and terrible" –a guy on the radio

List your gig!

If nobody knows about your gigs the only people who'll turn up will be a couple of your mates and that weird bloke who turns up to every gig. You know the one, wears a tracksuit and does an odd dance waving around a Lidl bag stuffed with, let's face it, god knows what. You've seen him at your gigs. And smelled him. And possibly snogged him. God, I was drunk that night.

Anyway! If you don't want that man to be your only fan, don't be shy - get the message out and get your gigs listed on Listen To!

Nearly there!

In what can only be described as "incredible periods of inactivity" the two naughty boys behind Listen To have finally got their fingers out and created the all new Listen To Manchester. Over the next few months we'll be adding loads of new features, but we'd love your help with the site as it stands right now.

So if you spot any problems, or have anything to say at all about the new site (comments, criticisms, great ideas that we can steal and become millionaires with) then get in touch!
