Man/Woman/Chainsaw will shortly be heading out on their biggest headlining tour yet, for this coming September and October, including dates across the UK and Ireland including stops in Dublin, Belfast, the band’s biggest London headliner yet at the Electric Ballroom, and a date here in Brighton at the ever-popular Concorde 2.
You can buy tickets for all dates HERE.Â
At the end of last year, Man/Woman/Chainsaw announced their signing to Fiction Records, home to The Cure, St. Vincent, The Horrors and Billie Marten amongst others, with the beguiling single ‘Only Girl’, recorded at RAK Studios with Geordie Greep producer Seth Evans & Margo Broom, who also worked with the band on their previous single ‘Adam & Steve’. Both ‘Adam & Steve’ and ‘Only Girl’ made the BBC 6 playlist.
It’s fair to state that Man/Woman/Chainsaw are finding themselves standing confidently at the very forefront of a new wave of British bands “most likely to”. Described by Rolling Stone at SXSW as “a young band in the process of inventing something ecstatically new”, the London-based six-piece, a close-knit group formed by friends Billy Ward & Vera Leppänen at only 16 years old, have already secured significant attention from the likes of The Quietus, Guardian, NME, The Line Of Best Fit, DIY, So Young, Stereogum, The Fader, BBC 6 Music and more.
Their debut album titled ‘Cannonball’ will drop on 7th August – check out their releases on their Bandcamp page HERE.
