❗️🧨⚡️🗯🥊 CAN OF WHUP ASS // AUSTRALIAN DDH IPA 🥊🗯⚡️🧨❗️
⠀
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No. It’s a Can Of Whup Ass, unleashed by the mighty @officialfingathing. Trailblazers of instrumental hip-hop, we’ve been fans of this Manchester-born three piece for the best part of 20 years. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album, we’ve tried to bring together all of their favourite things in a beer: hip-hop, gaming, wresting, comic books and, well, beer. It’s all in there.
⠀
We turned to the Southern Hemisphere for the hop bill, a region that brings some pretty unique and vibrant tropical flavours to the table. A perfect match with Fingathing’s sounds and artwork. Enigma, Vic Secret, Galaxy, Ella and Topaz, backed with a touch of US Citra Incognito, create a complex 6.7% IPA with flavours of passion fruit, pineapple, peach, mandarin, melon and redcurrant.
⠀
Turntablist of the group Peter Parker is hitting @northernmonkrefectorymcr tonight for a DJ set to celebrate the launch. Head over for one last pint before Refectory MCR closes its doors for the foreseeable. Spinning 7-10pm.

in Chinese mythology the tale of the eight immorta

in Chinese mythology the tale of the eight immortals is an ancient and much told theme. The story as we understand it goes a little something like this... basically a bunch of mortal best friends get together... One of them tells of some far away celestial islands full of wonderful things so they all decide to make the trip together for a jolly. awww :D It is said that whilst cultivating their already experienced practice of Taoism they develop their "vital energy" along the way each manifesting a different super power and ultimately becoming immortal. One of the eight immortals, a grouchy fella called Li Tieguai had a bad leg and used a walking stick made of iron with a calabash full of alcohol tied to the top. He studied Taoism with it's founder Lao Tsu for 40 years leading a life of self discipline and renouncing material things. Lao Tsu tested him with all manner of temptations and on passing these tests was bestowed several powers, the last two being an invincible stick and a never diminishing pot of medicine that would cure any illness. Not bad eh! This story has no doubt been distorted over time, like all stories are.. So in more recent interpretations it seems when he drinks this "medicine" he gets real drunk... thus the "Drunken Master" title. Using this "medicine" it seems he is able to really "let go" and channel the wuwei art of flow and effortless action.... cue Yuen Woo-ping's "Drunken Master" film series featuring Jackie Chan. The track of the same name from our debut EP is a homage to that film from 1978 and the beginnings of our own quest for truths... sippy sippy wiggly waggly!

#letthemusicplay is a new movement in support of t

#letthemusicplay is a new movement in support of the live music industry currently under threat...Below is an outline of the issues related specifically to the UK scene but obviously it is a worldwide issue. We (FINGATHING) live for playing LIVE and even though admittedly it has been a long time since we as a band have done so, we are hungry to perform on stages again. Actually we had some shows lined up this year! which we have recently had to postpone and rethink. It's a changing landscape but the fact remains live music and club culture is too important to be brushed aside and together we need to find solutions.. the support of Governments, councils and authorities is essential.

Covid 19 is decimating the UK’s thriving live music industry. This is not just about the musicians but about the sound engineers, lighting engineers, drivers, tour managers, venue staff, festival staff, door staff and promoters big and small who earn their living in one of the UK most important industries.
We are calling on the government to urgently support this vital industry and #letthemusicplay

Here are some facts:
· An estimated 30-50% of the live music industry’s workforce are facing unemployment, leading to a catastrophic loss of skills.
· The UK is home to the most popular arenas in the world yet they are set to lose five million visitors due to COVID-19.
· Music festivals support 85,000 jobs, but with the entire summer cancelled, many are currently facing collapse with 59% redundancies expected across the sector without further support.
· 90% of grassroots music venues are under threat of closure. We are supporting the Music Venue Trust’s calls for a £50 million cash injection to ensure vital parts of the music industry do not go out of business.
· The core live music industry generates £1.1 billion to the economy and impacts other parts of the economy including tourism to the tune of £4.5 billion and supported 210,000 jobs across the country.
· Live music needs VAT relief on future ticket sales. It would save the live music industry up to £300 million each year and hugely help in its recovery.
