Five Years Means Nothing.

An archive of Albany Road, UK/Manchester DIY made from notes, posters, flyers and photos I've kept, as well as photos and videos, and anything else that I can find on the web.

Realising it’s actually pretty difficult to do this consistently every day, and look for flats / go to work at the same time. Anyway, this is the poster/flyer for our 2nd, and one of my favourite shows at Albany Road and the start of a beautiful musical friendship. <3

I remember me and Rémi being quite excited about this, bc we saw them with Syn*Error the summer before. 

As far as I know Hannah made this one happen, whilst Sam sorted Deaf To Van Gogh’s Ears to play.  There is even some video of What Price, Wonderland? playing HERE! (I remember there being photos, but I can’t turn anything up online.)

Flyer done by me. I definitely have gotten better at design since, haha.

Oh bonus, a CD I found with the flyer/poster. :)

I’m travelling to 2011 now, bc these conveniently fit together and this was one my my favourite shows. :) 

I only have memories of awesomeness, so I’m not sure what the man pumps refer to, but I know that both bands left our kitchen cleaner than we kept it.

Flyer by the lovely Thom. 

Also I am not sure if Morgan and Nick had moved in by then, or if this was during their guest stay. Who is to say.

One of the first shows I’ve been to after moving to the UK on the 17th of March 2009, and it happened on my birthday.  I had a lovely time, and fell in love with Manchester people right then and there. <3

Note the list of AWESOME gigs on the back. Ah yis.

Drawing / flyer was made by D.

Going to try to get some order into this so lets start with the first show we ever did at Albany Road/ Nekro Bar. Hannah B. was in charge, and it was supposed to be Well Wishers’ ( Sexy Geometry?) first show. They ended up not playing and the show was certainly high drama.

There was no PA at first, and Rémi didn’t want the show to happen BECAUSE OF REASONS (I can’t quite remember now) and threatened to call the police on us all. Great times.
