Gustaffson are a five-piece band from Manchester whose debut album, Black & White Movie, reached number 14 in the Official Record Store Chart. Rolling Stone included the record in a weekly roundup of albums worth hearing, and Guy Garvey, Jo Whiley, Chris Hawkins and Gaby Roslin were among those who praised it. The band previously sold out Bush Hall in London.

Their single Dance To The Algorithm, a retro funk track, appeared on ITV Granada Introducing and closed 2025. A year-end ranking of artists from that year by The Manc and Audio North placed the band alongside Richard Ashcroft and The Charlatans. The group's stated aim is to question what counts as real music made by a band, and they encourage listeners to engage with the lyrics and to act as a collective.

In 2026 the band is set to return to the studio to record a second album with Craig Potter of elbow. The Lower Third, at 26 Denmark Street, mainly hosts concerts, and its programme is centred on pop, rock and indie music.
