Freight

Freight is a pop, rock and indie band playing at Gorilla in Manchester. The act grew out of a teenage friendship and an open mic night at a local pub.

Freight formed when frontman Luka and friends from their teens met a pub owner who told them that if they put a band together, they could play the pub's festival. The group treated that first gig as though it were a stadium show. Their stated influences include Quincy Jones and Viola Beach, and they say they are keen to play their songs wherever they can, across several genres.

The band has been featured on BBC Introducing, Radio X and TalkSport. Their summer track, 'The Only Thing I Know', is available on Spotify. Their later single, 'Photographs', has a darker mood than the summer songs, though it keeps the band's strong chorus-led sound.

Gorilla, at 54-56 Whitworth Street West in Manchester, mainly hosts concerts, with a programme centred on pop, rock and indie music. The night will suit listeners who follow those styles and want to hear a newer guitar band in a concert setting.
