Band on the Wall presents Free Vibes - a free-entry event showcasing some of the most exciting artists you need to know.

Sonic Bliss Machine is an alternative rock band from Manchester. Likened to The Flaming Lips by BBC Introducing, the band's sound revolves around an eclectic mix of influences that range from shoegaze, to surfey psychedelia.

Mister Strange are three long-haired Manchester musicians who create what they dub as ‘wunder fuzz’.

Born in Whalley Range, Kyotoya blend post-punk with shoegaze and a healthy dose of krautrock.

Little Illusion Machine are best described as gloomy guitar-laden indie pysch rock that shimmers in the dark.
