In the space of a few months Wooden Shjips have gone being a relatively unknown band outside of their underground circles in San Francisco to being one of the 'must see bands' of 2009.

Having played a few ATP festivals in the past Wooden Shjips are back in the UK to play the Green Man Festival where they have been elevated to a major support slot on the Far Out Stage. Those not going to the Green Man have a chance to see the Shjips at only three uk dates the pick of which for fans north of London is at Islington Mill, Salford, M3 5HW.

20/08/09 Wooden Shjips at Islington Mill, Salford, Manchester

Wooden Shjips have two highly rated stunning studio albums released on Holy Mountain for sale plus a collection of earlier singles. For lovers of primitive psyched-tinged bass riff, pop-rock that makes your toes tap, feet stomp, hands clap and ears bleed all at the same time.

The night is presented by two of Manchester's most daring and off the wall promoters in Now Wave and Wotgodforgot who can always be relied upon to point you in the direction of what's new and what's good.

There is also the added attraction of seeing GNOD play at the Mill to make this a trully memorable gig. GNOD are possibly the UK's best tripped out, cosmic, pyschedelic experimental jam band who have just 'recovered' from their Spring tour of Europe - or is it Europe that's recovered from GNOD!
