About Elli Brazzill
I’m Elli, 20 and live in Manchester. I like good music, gigs, rice krispies, 7” singles and puns. Alex G, Day Wave, Jaws, Talking Heads, Best Friends, Mac DeMarco, The Strokes, Parquet Courts and Tyler the Creator are pretty cool aren’t they. @cometobrazzill on twitter.

When Googling Reichenbach Falls, you are presented with the Swiss waterfalls (of course) and the popular Sherlock Holmes stories. Folk duo Reichenbach Falls have some work to do to get themselves to the top of that search but – after hearing…
I enter Manchester’s Gorilla later than I anticipated, life gets in the way of live music sometimes and it upsets me. I walk in and the room is already totally packed out ready for the long-awaited return of American Football….
Mitski is cool. Yeah she’s cool because she makes kick ass music and is signed to Double Double Whammy Records who also house the likes of Frankie Cosmos, Quarterbacks, Porches and LVL UP (their roster is one to be revered…
