Mandrake Handshake
About Multi-dimensional nine-piece spectacular, Mandrake Handshake, perform a music they call ‘Flowerkraut’: a hedonistic, brain-frying feast of Krautrock, art-pop and psychedelia, spiced with enigmatic grooves and fearless improvisations. Since the reintroduction of gigs post-lockdown, the band have reinforced their status as an exaltant live prospect. First packing out fields at Wide Awake Festival, then rattling church vaults at Rotterdam’s Left of the Dial festival, Mandrake Handshake embarked on nationwide headline tours in the spring of 2022, including sell-outs in London, Manchester and Oxford, where the group first formed. In the summer of the 2021, the Mandrake released their glistening debut......

About Having originally formed in 1988, The Boo Radleys developed a reputation for adventurous genre-indistinct songwriting, starting with 1990s Ichabod and I, which emerged on Lancashire’s Action Records and gained such a response amongst discerning music fans that Creation put a deal on the table.
