Marc has a session from Manchester-based trio Onions.

Onions in session tonight the band is a Manchester based trio, Martin, Jim and Chris. With influences as varied as Talking Heads, Hefner, Sparks and 60s girl groups the chaps create a sound described as muscular twee.

After gigging extensively and lots of airplay, debut album Pleasure Blast sold out in its first week. Onions will be returning fresh as daisies from a windowless studio after a six month hiatus with the release of the Here Comes the Rage EP in August and a second album scheduled for later in the year.
