SURFER JOE + Sun Burns + The Whalleys

Noble Gas proudly lowers expectations and raises the volume at The Peer Hat in Manchester on Friday April 10th.

Lorenzo "SURFER JOE" Valdambrini

Officially recognised (by himself and several customs officials) as the International Surf Guitar Ambassador. SURFER JOE brings sun-bleached tremolo and splashy reverb all the way from Livorno, Italy to Manchester.

Joe spends much of his life on the road - continuing his tireless campaign to prove surf music works perfectly fine indoors, at night, and in cities with no coastline and no need for one.

This campaign has seen him release more than 8 LPs and play shows worldwide, most recently in Japan. A stalwart of the scene since the 90s, Joe has played with some of the greats of the genre.

SUN BURNS

A surf / garage trio operating even further inland in downtown Stockport.

Expect garage grit and burnt tones. What the Trashmen would have sounded like if they'd rehearsed next to a Greggs.

THE WHALLEYS

A local gang of Rhythm & Booze enthusiasts. The Whalleys continue their more than unexpected return to the scene, 61 years after their last show when the band perished on Snake's Pass.
