Sunn O))) play the HMV Ritz on Monday 11th June, their only Northen England date!
"Now Wave are pleased to announce the return of Sunn O))) to Manchester this Summer, with an exclusive show at HMV Ritz. The celebrated Seattle band's live show is a notoriously deep and atmospheric one, and on 11th June an immersive quadraphonic surround sound system - with inward-facing speaker stacks on each corner of the venue's 1,250-capacity ballroom - promises to take this experience to a new level.
Known primarily as a doom metal band, Sunn O))) are in fact an inimitable mix of diverse genres including drone, ambient, noise and black metal. Their sound is unapologetic and boundary-breaking."
Phurpa, the Russian Throat Singing group who released a double LP on O'Malley's Idelogic Organ imprint have now been added to the bill. Details of this occultis group can be found here: www.ideologic.org/news/view/phurpa_suppo...nn_o_in_uk_june_2012
This is a unique opportunity to see Sunn O))) sound as encompassing and punishing as intended, and with the addition of Phurpa promises to be an unfortgettable evening of drone power.
