Afflecks Palace

Afflecks Palace, a pop, rock and indie act, bring their new album Sunshine Death to The Deaf Institute in Manchester. The record grew out of a near-death experience and the recovery that followed.

Afflecks Palace are a pop, rock and indie act, and Sunshine Death was self-produced by the band, so the record reflects their own choices from start to finish. It arrives two years after frontman J. Fender survived a serious heart attack during a transatlantic flight. The songs deal with mortality, recovery and the disorientation that can follow a brush with death, and they favour pressing on over standing still.

Radio play and championing by several established figures preceded the band's tours and festival appearances across the UK. On those tours and at those festival slots, they have shared stages with well-established acts.

The Deaf Institute's Music Hall is a Manchester venue that hosts concerts and shows, and it is where this concert takes place.
