THE OXYGEN INDEX will be playing their first show in central Manchester since In The City Festival 2009, at the highly esteemed Club Academy. It's gonna be huge, we're attempting to pull in a crowd from areas further afield so if you see this please come!

THE OXYGEN INDEX are an art pop four piece from just south of Manchester. Formed by Stuart Thornton and with the help of Richard Ford the band, after a variety of lineup changes, the band have gone from strength to strength since their uniting in February 2009.

The Oxygen Index have generated a lot of buzz in Manchester and further afield recently, supporting fellow Manchester art pop maestros THE ANSWERING MACHINE at their packed out album launch in the Northern Quarter, featuring several times on multiple radio stations, including interviews and a week long special on PUREFM alongside indie five piece DUTCH UNCLES, and generating interest from numerous record labels.

After finally releasing their debut EP 'Evenings Become Electric' in December 2009, the band are now concentrating their efforts towards putting on larger spectacles, spreading the word and a new release for Summer 2010.
