And so I Watch You From Afar

An instrumental post-rock night at Kirkgate Community Centre in Shipley, headlined by the Belfast band And So I Watch You From Afar, with Pulled Apart By Horses, Gallops and Trigger Thumb in support.

And So I Watch You From Afar is a post-rock band formed in Belfast in 2005, playing instrumental rock. Their self-titled debut album appeared in 2009, followed by Gangs in 2011, and the group was signed to Smalltown America Records. Their sound shifts between angular, noisy passages and pulsing, euphoric ones, and the band has toured across Europe, the USA, Russia, Asia, Central America and Australia, building a cult following.

This is a one-off show that also features Pulled Apart By Horses, a local noise act that has previously headlined the venue and is now entering a new phase. Wrexham's Gallops bring heavy beats and electronic, glazed soundscapes to the bill, while Bradford's Trigger Thumb open the night with noise.

Kirkgate Community Centre hosts concerts and shows in Shipley. The night suits listeners drawn to experimental, loud rock, from the angular to the euphoric.
