MAN/WOMAN/CHAINSAW
Support: Uncle Junior. Man/Woman/Chainsaw are Billy Ward (vocals, guitars), Emmie-Mae Avery (vocals, keys/synths), Vera Leppänen (vocals, bass), Clio Harwood (violin), Lola Cherry (drums) and Billy Doyle (guitar). The band have found themselves standing at the forefront of a new wave of British bands 'most likely to'. "The most exciting live band in London right now." - The Line Of Best Fit. "This young British art-punk five-piece revel in taut chaos and wry lyrics." - The Guardian. "It's one of those records where every song has its own unpredictable flavour but they all seem to flow from the same collective consciousness." - Stereogum - Band To Watch. "I won't lie, I fucking love this band." - Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music. "The teenage five-piece making a thrilling noise." - Rolling Stone UK. "Eazy Peazy is a raw, ambitious and electrifying debut of forward-thinking rock music." - NME. "As they continue to evolve and push their boundaries, one thing is certain: the future looks bright for Man/Woman/Chainsaw." - DORK. "['Ode To Clio' is] a cellular song that seems to smash together all kinds of contradictory ideas into one riveting whole." - CLASH. "['What Lucy Found There' is] a swooning, shapeshifting, melodramatic earworm of a single that sets them apart from London indie's ever-crowded field." - The Quietus. "['What Lucy Found There' is] a virtuoso example of a band taking the listener through the emotions and leaving them unable to do anything but leap about the room." - So Young Magazine. "The latest in a recent line of young bands from the capital making a buzz the old-fashioned, live circuit way, angsty sextet Man/Woman/Chainsaw's third proper release rings hums with the sort of layered energy that's clearly been honed on the stage." - DIY.
