For that moment, they belong to me." "As I write my songs I can tell people what I want them to know, how their actions make me feel and who I am as a person.

Midnight MafiaIndie Live Band Location: Manchester The Midnight Mafia story starts in 2004 when singer-songwriter Rob Mager first met bassist Michael Hunt at a Casual Saints gig in central Manchester. The pair soon became good friends sharing a mutual passion for trainers, indie and Manchester United. In the years that followed it became apparent that the lads both had some unfinished business where playing music was concerned and in March 2008, the concept of Midnight Mafia was born. The idea was to tell modern day northern folk stories against a fiercely melodic post-punk backdrop. Choppy guitar riffs, backed up with driving chords patterns, would sit upon a backline tighter than United’s defence. It was a tall order. Band members came and went as the lads stopped at nothing to find the perfect mix. After several false dawns, drummer Nick Harris, a Factory Records veteran, came in and brought with him huge levels of experience and technical ability. Energetic guitarist Dale Moran also arrived to provide that touch of finesse that had been so lacking before. Now it was ready to take to the studio. Salford label Affinity had taken a shine to the band and in November 2009 the lads put pen to paper to release an album. Love is Dead was chosen as the debut single and work began on recording a single-worthy version of it. The single was released in June 2010 in front of a packed crowd at Manchester’s Roadhouse. Word was starting to spread. July 2010 saw the band’s first festival appearance in front of about 150 at Cheshire hippy-fest All Things Bright and Beautiful while December brought with it a London debut. 80 or so packed into a Dalston basement club eager to find out more about their guests from the north and no one left disappointed. The album, at the time of writing, is in production and features songs that include Irish Eyes (a nod to the band’s Manchester/Irish roots), Too Old For The Disco (a simple admission) and Gorton Girls (an ode to the fine young ladies of east Manchester). |
