Gearing up for the June 29th release of their latest album, Expo 86, Montreal's Wolf Parade hit Manchester's Club Academy on the warmest night of the year so far.And just like the Ruby Lounge gig in 2008, this was a great show from a very talented, yet somewhat understated band. The new songs (which didn't actually seem that new to many!) blended in well with the older stuff, and the usual crowd favourites got the place well and truly bouncing, leaving everyone ready for a change of clothes once the night was over. Aircon would certainly not go amiss in the Club Academy!
Enjoy!
