H.S.Heron Presents Gladboy x Martin Manning x Draags

Art and Light show

Gladboy

Gladboy have one of the underground's most unique and frenetic live shows. Teetering on the edge of collapse, they are confounding - occasionally ear-piercing - but always melodic. 

The band formed in 2017, starting their garage rock racket in a now-demolished eyesore in Norwich. In that time, they’ve cultivated a prolific live profile, supporting the likes of Westside Cowboy, Willie J Healey, English Teacher, The Orielles, Brix Smith Start (The Fall), Laundromat, The Cool Greenhouse and Jeffrey Lewis.

Press highlights include The Guardian, Far Out, DIY Magazine, as well as BBC Introducing and BBC Radio 6 Music.

Following a sold-out run supporting English Teacher’s sold out album tour for their Mercury Prize-winning debut This Must be Texas, Gladboy are back with a full length album on the horizon.

Martin Manning

Conjured from a dream, the multi-faceted Martin Manning emerges from our subconscious.

Haunting the waterways of Yorkshire with harps and broken drum machines, they recite poetry of the mother hill. These Avant Pop Megastars forge fractured dance music with pop at its hearth, evoking shades of Cabaret Volatire, Dean Blunt & Arthur Russell.

"What a year to be alive, as Martin Manning turns 45!"

Draags

Hyper-disassembled queer punk wonkcore is a direct sucker punch to capitalism and the oppressive state. They want everyone involved in a frenzied ecstasy of queer rage and to share a radical message of love and connection. Confrontational and deranged but also inclusive and fun fun fun!
