PSYCHIC ILLS<br />
Elizabeth Hart and Tres Warren’s fifth album, Inner Journey Out, finds the New York duo in a reflective mood as they tease around the country and jazz<br />
edges of their laconic psych rock template. The three years since their previous release for Sacred Bones Records (2013’s One Track Mind) have been<br />
spent testing the limits of these boundaries in what turned out to be an odyssey of songwriting, where they allowed their own sense of adventure<br />
to lead them down soporific, fuggy avenues.<br />
The Magnet / 29th <strong>November</strong><br />
TREEHOUSE OF HORROR<br />
Remember that time when The Simpsons went all weird and Homer sold his soul to the Devil (who turned out to be Ned Flanders) in exchange for<br />
a donut? That was one of the more memorable ghoulish twists the cult show took for its annual Halloween-themed Treehouse Of Horror episodes,<br />
and Simpsons devotees will be delighted to hear that No Homers Club are planning a special evening dedicated to them. Featuring original artwork,<br />
Simpsons karaoke, a donut eating contest and live music from OHMNS and Organ Freeman, this is the place to indulge your inner James “Hell” Brooks.<br />
Constellations / 4th <strong>November</strong><br />
OFF THE RECORD<br />
Manchester further strengthens its claim to be capital of urban festivals with OFF THE RECORD. The festival spans six venues across the city’s Northern<br />
Quarter and will boast some of the country’s best emerging artists. There is also a conference element to proceedings in which 50 panellists will<br />
chew the musical cud. The evening gigs benefit from the seasoned curation of such prominent musos Huw Stephens (pictured), John Kennedy and<br />
Guy Garvey. For more info go to otrmcr.co.uk.<br />
Various venues / 4th <strong>November</strong><br />
FIESTA BOMBARDA<br />
The neon-charged BOMBARDA delights pitch up at The Florrie in <strong>November</strong> for an autumnal carnival. The Victorian hall will be splashed in colour for<br />
the event, a riotous explosion of Afrobeat, dub and reggae sounds and seasonal set design. Soulful reggae star NATTY headlines the shindig, which also<br />
features the Katumba drumming troupe, face paints, Equinox performers and all manner of vivacious goings on. Jamaican vocalist RANDY VALENTINE<br />
and reggae bluesman LIAM BAILEY are also lined up for the latest FIESTA festivities.<br />
The Florrie / 11th <strong>November</strong><br />
COFFEE CONNOISSEURS UNITE<br />
Northern coffee quaffers can celebrate their love of the magical bean this month as the Manchester Coffee Festival returns. Formerly known as Cup<br />

the world’s favourite wake-up juice. Bido Lito! have contributed to proceedings with the playlist Full Of Beans, a mix of some of the best emerging<br />
artists from Liverpool and Manchester. Hear it online at bidolito.co.uk now.<br />

HOMOTOPIA<br />
A brilliantly eclectic bill of dance, photography, music, comedy and more makes up this year’s HOMOTOPIA festival. With the intriguing theme of<br />
Forbidden – reflecting the fact that homosexuality is still illegal in 76 countries – the LGBT arts events welcomes artists from across the country to<br />
perform at the Unity Theatre and other venues. The festival finale takes place at District on 25th <strong>November</strong> with a performance from the Rewind Fast<br />
Forward project, Sandi Hughes’ (pictured) history of Liverpool’s scene.<br />
Various venues / 20th October - 25th <strong>November</strong><br />
