So It Goes Presents YAANG at The Swan & Royal
Forming in 2017 when Davey Moore (vocals/sampler) met Oliver Duffy (Guitars/vocals) at a rhythmic awareness class at University in Salford - and later completed by Ben White (Ex-Working Men’s Club) on bass duties - Manchester punk trio YAANG have ever since been steadily building their reputation for furious, high-energy, live shows, powered by the rocket-fuel combo of pulsating drum loops, clangorous guitars and a wicked sense of humour. Integral cogs in the ever-whirring grassroots scene of their beloved Manchester, Yaang regularly rub shoulders with the likes of buzzy contemporaries Maruja, Nightbus, Duvet and Splint.
Alumni of the prestigious Slow Dance Compilation, the band have already gained backing from Rodeo Magazine, Gemma Bradley (Radio 1) and BBC Introducing, having achieved notable support slots of the likes of Porijj, Keg, The Vacant Lots, and Mandrake Handshake, while also boasting a PVA remix in their catalogue to boot.
