with support from:
SUGARSTONE
+ WHINGE
A meeting of 4 jaded old friends from the underbelly of the NW music scene, Whinge began as a cathartic outlet & an attempt to press pause on the unrelenting passage of time.
Fuelled by nihilism & a playful eye for self-deprecation, one pub conversation too many saw their myriad of musical backgrounds meet their unpredictable approach to life, with the end result: ‘Whinge'. Like the best bands; more a gang than a group.
Post-punk informed DIY garage-rock played with gay abandon, Whinge live shows veer from intense & frenetic to creeping & sardonic.
