76 years after its discovery in Central Africa, the Ishango Bone is giving rise to a new wave of speculation in present-day Manchester.
A three-piece electronic alt-rock band, Ishango Bone were formed in 2024 by childhood friends Casey Bell, Sonny Royle and Alec Waters.
With grunge-inspired guitars, rich vocal harmonies and atmospheric dance beats, the trio are influenced by bands like The Prodigy, Pixies and Beastie Boys to contemporaries Sorry and Jockstrap. Casey, Sonny and Alec are all multi-instrumentalists and frontmen, giving rise to a distinctive sonic lore, binding an evolving sound into a single compelling identity.
Look out for the band supporting Ora Cogan in the Pink Room at Yes this Saturday 21st March, followed by Stretfest on Saturday 28th March.
