Basement

A concert by Basement, the British band from Ipswich, at Manchester Academy, with Fleshwater and Béton Armé on the bill. The night is a pop, rock and indie evening in Manchester.

Basement is a British band from Ipswich, playing emo, alternative rock and post-hardcore. Formed in 2009, the group released its first album, I Wish I Could Stay Here, in 2011, the record that marked the start of their recorded output. Emo and post-hardcore both grew out of the hardcore punk scene of the 1980s, and the band's music draws on those roots.

Fleshwater and Béton Armé are the other two acts on the bill, alongside Basement. The line-up of the evening is shared across the three artists, with each one presenting its own material.

Manchester Academy hosts concerts and shows in Manchester, and this evening suits listeners who follow emo, alternative rock and post-hardcore, as well as anyone curious about the early records of an Ipswich group that started out in 2009.
