Wake in Fright - Any Young Mechanic

Tuesday, October 27, 2026 - The Deaf Institute (The Lodge), Manchester

Any Young Mechanic bring their hybrid of alternative folk, art pop, baroque pop and bossa nova to THE DEAF INSTITUTE – THE LODGE on 27 October 2026. The Adelaide group’s songwriting leans on atmospheric folk structures, then twists into rich, orchestral-leaning pop shapes and Brazilian-tinged rhythms. Drawing on work such as the album "Touch Hands Pack Sting", the collection "It Can Happen Here" and the 2024 EP "Live in Tokyo", the show underlines how their recorded material translates into a detailed live sound. Expect shifting dynamics, layered arrangements and an emphasis on narrative lyricism throughout the performance.
