A great evening was had by all on Monday (16th) where Rock duo Duke Mercury hosted their own gig at the Aatma venue with top support from Psyblings and a last minute appearance from Emperor Phunk.

First up were MIMR first-timers, 6 piece Funk-Rock project that is Emperor Phunk who certainly know how to play to a crowd with a fun and interactive set, here are a few highlights.

Next up was a highly anticipated set by exciting Psych rockers Psyblings who MIMR finally got to experience live and i may never be the same again after a raucous display. It was high energy, wild and the 5 piece look set to take this year by storm, hold on tight!

Here are some best bits from their set

And then there was the welcome return to the blog of the blistering duo Duke Mercury and they brought their A game to the Aatma with a bruising show. The dynamic twosome showed all their usual gusto and raw emotion to their set from start to finish, it was the chaotic finale to a night which shows that the Manchester music scene is in a good place at the moment.
