Blowout takes place on Saturday this week (21st Jan) at the Manchester Bierkeller.

G posted the line-up on the aA board:

we're kicking off the new year with one heavyweight line-up.. have a listen over on myspaz (links below) a money back guarantee on this one folks

Its also the DJ debut of Mr Chris Cook, this guy has a room full of vinyl at his home that never gets out to play, so we thought it only right to invite him out. expect some rare 6ts psyche,
folk and god know what else

here are the band details -

9.30pm 1st up is Cherry Ghost
- dont be suprised if this guy is a household name this time next year equal parts wilco, johnny cash & sparklehorse

11.00pm - Fields
- Fields like many great things began in a shed. a heady mix of soaring west coast harmonies, pulsing electronics and a rhythm section on a runaway train to the place where The Flaming Lips raced for the prize
