Superfan

Superfan is a pop project built around songwriter and producer Kali Priya Flanagan, with string arrangements by cellist Omeed Almassi. The act performs at The Abbey Manchester.

Superfan is the songwriting project of Kali Priya Flanagan, a Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist and producer. It started as a solo undertaking, but ambitious string arrangements developed with cellist Omeed Almassi have become central to its sound, which pairs noisy textures with a magnetic pop feel. The project has recently signed with the London label AD 93, whose roster also includes Joanne Robertson, YHWH Nailgun and Dagmar Zuniga.

Three recent singles, "Miss W Jones", "Apeiron (Fantasy Football)" and "Picture Of Return", are presented as the start of a new phase called "Acousticello". The lyrics have moved away from literal storytelling towards fragmented, impressionistic imagery, with love-torn ballads delivered through obscured pictures and a greater confidence in both words and voice.

The show takes place at The Abbey Manchester, a venue on Guildhall Close in the Manchester Science Park. The venue mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts, a genre that matches the music of this act.
