Mani @ HomeClub... Who will be next???


One of indie rocks most prolific players made it down to Home Club to show us exactly what he is all about. Mani, of Primal Scream and ex-bassist of the Stone Roses mashed together a barrage of melodies and beats from different genres. Not only was he bound by his loyalty to an early Manchester sound but also brought back old classics from the early dance movement such as 'House Nation' (by who I forget but im sure you've already got that “house, house, house, house nation” going on in the back of your head, or at least I do...) and ‘This is Acid’ by Maurice on an early Chicago label Trax records. HomeClub became a sweaty mass of indie rock pulsating and gyrating entities. What a character, a joker, definitely an individual in love with life and not consumed by hatred or cynicism. A refreshing personality to say the very least, full of stories, dialogue and jokes, one could not be helped but be drawn in by his comments, opinions and of course track selection. A slice of history, a living legacy right here on our doorstep… Who will be next? Please let me know who you think should be our next international here at HomeClub. I’d love to hear your thoughts and dreams; who knows? they might even come true…

i'd love to see digital spin at a bigger event. leeroy thornhill and filth are in town, but at the wrong venue. but in all honesty, my heart sincerely would like to see alex kapranos spin with joe and ginette.
