Ripsaw Catfish – 30 August 2022

This month we welcome Noise Upstairs legends Ripsaw Catfish! They’ve got an amazing new album out – check it out through Cath’s website (linked below). As ever drop your name in the hat to join the jams before and after their set. Anton might pull a few names out for old time’s sake. He’ll also be available for an AMA session about the Manchester night.

Ripsaw Catfish is the collaborative duo of Cath Roberts (electronics, baritone saxophone) and Anton Hunter (guitar). The Manchester and London-based musicians started playing in 2013, going on to release the albums ‘For The Benefit Of The Tape’ (2014) and ‘Namazu’ (2017) on Raw Tonk Records. They have since toured widely in the UK, France, Holland and Belgium. A third album ‘Carapace’ was released in June 2022, also on Raw Tonk.
