Satan's Hollow Battle of the Bands: Week #1 01/07/2023

Manchester's favourite alternative music club, Satan's Hollow, continued it's amazing support for the grassroots music scene at the start of the month with the first of four Battle of the Bands competitions. Running every Saturday in July before being followed up by a grand final on 27th August, the competition sees four bands go up against each other to win over the judges and secure a place in the final. We're now two weeks in- with two nights of absolutely stunning performances from some incredible artists.

How do we know? Gigraphy creator Josh Wilkinson has been going down to the event to see the talent on offer, taking snaps to share with you and the bands involved! Let's have a recap of what you missed at the first event:

Grief

Ventures

40000 Leagues

Bourbon Hitcher

While every band put on a great show, unfortunately only one can win- and the first victory went to 40000 Leagues! We can't wait to see what the pull out of the back for their performance and the grand finals, but in the meantime make sure you check out all of the acts on Instagram and show them some support:
