Description:
KRAAK is two multi-purpose and low-cost spaces for art, music, exhibitions and photography. Housed in the remains of a former derelict textile cutting room in Stevenson Square, KRAAK Gallery crept onto the creative scene in 2009 and quickly established a reputation as a connective hub for innovative visual and performance artists. KRAAK Gallery was founded by local artists to create an inclusive, accessible and sustainable exhibition space that is dedicated to the ideals of collaboration and open expression. Since then, KRAAK has emerged as a humble but forceful player in the Manchester underground arts scene. KRAAK is committed to artist-led exhibitions where individual curators and groups of artists plan and produce the installation process, infusing their own personalities into the space. Our central location and affordable rates have enabled a fresh and dynamic arts platform to flourish within our gallery walls, and has allowed KRAAK to tap into both established and emerging creative talent. The gallery is not for profit.Location: 11, Stevenson Square, Manchester M1 1DB

Josiah Wolf, known as essential WHY? member and multiinstrumentalist unparalleled, has released his solo-debut “Jet Lag” in 2010, proving that warm folk melodies and easy psychedelia can still excite. Starting to learn the drums at the age of nine, Josiah constantly developed his musical skills and excelled at merging marimba, drums and soft guitar riffs. This potential is also mirrored in his live versions, where his one-man show is likely to sound like a full band. However, not willing to rely on samples and prerecorded tracks, he soon asked Liz Hodson, later to become his wife, to join his musical journey. A quite good decision, since her voice, reminding of Mazzy Star’s Hope Sandoval, serves as a perfect addition to his rhythms. Listening to Liz playing Rhodes piano, Microkorg and bass, juxtaposed by Josiah holding it down on marimba, drum kit and guitar, is never the same. Every show is different and an experiment, constantly spawning blueprints for new songs. In fall 2010, they already released the “Under Lovers Covers” EP, paying tribute to bands and aritsts like Nirvana, Bill Withers or Nick Drake. But before releasing their first full-length, the duo is now preparing for a trip to Europe, in order to present their multilayered magic.
