New year, new projects.

You may not have heard of Owkay clothing yet; but we're willing to bet you will be hearing a lot more about it soon. Not least because they have kindly offered to sponsor frontman, Adam and he'll be sporting their tees and hats at all of the Nankeens gigs this year.

This week he received his first batch of goodies as you can see below.

 
 
They are pretty cool, and if you're interested in being trend-setter instead of a follower get over to their website and facebook account to grab something.

Don't forget we have our first three gigs of the year coming up. We're venturing out of Manchester for our first which is on the 25th January at The Sun Inn, Chesterfield. We always like playing in new places so we're looking forward to getting our tunes heard in a new (to us) venue, and hopefully get our music out to another bunch of music lovers who are yet to discover The Nankeens! If any of you are around the area make sure you get down and give us some support. We always like to see familiar faces.

Secondly we have our own night, The Playlist vol.2 at The Ruby Lounge on 31st January, featuring David Shurr, Not Hot Ashes, The Fallows and ourselves. It's just £2 if you bring the event flyer along and you can print that off from the Facebook event page. We're pretty sure there isn't a better line up, in a better venue for a better price.

Then the night after (1st Feb), we're doing another local gig in a secret warehouse. The exact location won't be announced until the day. Even we don't know where it is! But we are told it's an intimate venue and it WILL sell out. So if you're as intrigued as we are get your tickets here.

We have a new track for your ears that hasn't been played before so it will make an appearance at all three gigs, and we are very excited to have the producer from Liverpool Motor Museum studios visit us in rehearsal this week to listen to it along with a few new ideas. We're back in with him in March to record the rest of our new EP so watch this space.

How do you get rid of the January blues?.. Come to The Playlist vol.2 of course!

Happy New Year! And what better way to start it than with our second 'The Playlist' event. After the success of the first one that we hosted last year (see here ) we decided we were overdue to get another set of class acts together so we could show Manchester how much brilliant unsigned music is out there.


As you can see, it is a bargain at £2OTD if you bring this flyer along. So print it out and get your arses down to the Ruby Lounge on 31st.

With awesome support from The Fallows, No Hot Ashes and David Shurr we all promise to rid you of the January blues.

We've got lots of other stuff in the pipeline for 2014, so keep your eyes and ears open in the usual places to hear the latest news as we finalise it. Until then - keep supporting the scene.

Peace out.
