MANCHESTER'S Amplifier and Sheffield's Awooga, will be appearing at Chinnerys in Southend this Sunday, in a double rock extravaganza.

Headliners Amplifier have released six albums and four EPs since their inception in 1999.

But despite countless gigs, 14 years and eight albums to their credit, their 2017 album Trippin With Dr Faustus listed in the top 50 albums of 2017 by Classic Rock, Visions and Prog magazines, they are still described as one of the best kept rock secrets this country has.

This current rare UK tour will feature a crowd sourced setlist from their huge back catalogue, which fans have voted for over the past six months on amplifierband.com.

Awooga, who release their Titanic debut album Conduit on April 20 on Rockosmos, have meanwhile been receiving copious amounts of BBC support in the form of Daniel P Carter’s Rock Show and being the house band of BBC Sheffield’s Introducing Show.

The gig on Sunday March 11 at the seafront venue on Marine Parade, starts at 7:30pm.
