In The City 2010 line-up and ticket announcement --- 29.07.10

Last year's In The City signaled a shift in focus for the annual music conference. Having concentrated on unearthing the next big thing through official industry showcase events, the appearance of The Drums and Frightened Rabbit on the bill represented a desire to move towards an all encompassing new music festival.

ITC will take place from 13-15th October and relocates to Manchester's Northern Quarter. Entry to three nights of shows costs a measly £22. With an option to add accommodation at the Hatters hostel for an extra £50.

High Voltage's showcase will take place on 13th October at Mint Lounge. The first act confirmed are Londoners Teeth (pictured)....

On this side of the planet, Clash magazine has asked him about his clothes.

Introducing // Kassidy

Describing themselves as a gang of renegades on a cold, dark, night, Kassidy make more sound with just their acoustic guitars than many bands could make with a room filled with drums, bass and electrics. I spoke to Barry, the bands prime motivator ahead of their recent Manchester show.

What are the major influences on your sound?
