Death Valley Girls and Sister Wives are bringing their distinctive indie rock energy to Manchester this autumn, making Saturday 24 October at The Abbey an unmissable night for alternative music fans. Death Valley Girls deliver psych-tinged garage rock with attitude, while Sister Wives provide the perfect supporting soundtrack with their own brand of energetic, guitar-driven alternative rock. At just £12-£14, this is proper value for a double-header that'll have you buzzing for weeks.
The Abbey sits right in the heart of Castlefield, one of Manchester's most characterful neighbourhoods, surrounded by Victorian warehouses, independent bars, and that brilliant mix of gig venues and quirky spots that make the area legendary. It's a proper intimate venue with serious credentials, the kind of place where you can actually see and hear the bands without feeling squeezed in like a sardine.
Get yourself down by 19:00 to catch Sister Wives and secure a decent spot near the stage. Castlefield's well-connected by tram and train, and there's plenty of pre-gig food and drink options around. The Abbey's got a great atmosphere but it does fill up quick for decent shows, so arriving early means you won't miss a second of either band.
