Hidden Herd Presents: Hidden Herd is Brighton’s new music discovery night, spotlighting the most exciting emerging artists, ones-to-watch and hidden gems. YAANG Described as “one of the most exciting bands to come from the North West” in the NME 100 hype list, Manchester-based trio YAANG make a sound that resists easy categorisation, wrapping up punk, motorik, art rock and dance beats into an irresistible package. Comprised of Davey Moore (vocals/sampler), Oliver Duffy (guitar/vocals) and former Working Men’s Club member Ben White (bass), YAANG have been championed by Steve Lamacq, Huw Stephens and Emily Pilbeam on BBC Radio 6 Music, as well as John Kennedy on Radio X, alongside support from DIY, The Line of Best Fit and Duran Duran frontman Simon Le Bon. The band have steadily built a reputation for their furious, high-energy live shows, where pulsating drum loops, razor-sharp guitars, huge hooks and a wicked sense of humour collide. Their breakneck performances have won over a growing legion of fans through shows with Death From Above 1979, Getdown Services and Maruja, as well as standout festival appearances at Manchester Psych Fest, Left of the Dial in Rotterdam and Brighton’s own Mutations Festival, where the queue snaked down the street for their packed-out set at Patterns. + Noon Garden+Club Magic+ Huarinami18+
