Blue Bendy

Blue Bendy, a British indie rock band, bring their live show to Gullivers on Oldham Street in Manchester. The night features the group's material from its second album, One Day This Will All Be Lore.

Blue Bendy are a British indie rock band whose sound has moved between post-punk, baroque indie and post-rock. Vocalist Arthur Nolan and guitarist Joe Nash moved to London from Scunthorpe, where the group began before recording its debut album, So Medieval, released in 2024. That record drew attention from several UK music publications, including the Guardian, NME and The Independent.

Their second album, One Day This Will All Be Lore, keeps the earnest bite and dry, self-mocking humour of the debut, but its melodies sit a little sweeter and the playing is more urgent. Its lyrics are packed with references to high and low culture and internet subculture. Some tracks carry a pop sensibility, placed within the tradition of alternative British guitar bands that balance oddness with accessibility.

Gullivers is a concert and performance venue on Oldham Street in Manchester. The gig suits listeners who follow British guitar music and want to hear the band's newer songs alongside their debut material.
