The last 12 months have been a rollercoaster ride for Manchow. Between providing the soundtrack to Matthew Wright’s insightful documentary about the London riots and playing the festival circuit, it’s a surprise they’ve had any time to focus on their song writing. Yet 99% (a postcard to St Pauls) was a surprise summer hit prompting a surge in popularity from international markets, particularly the Latin America countries, and unsurprisingly, Italy.

However the 5 piece continue to embrace their east London roots and focus on being both versatile and chow. The 2013 tour saw Manchow appear at weddings, parties, pubs, bars, pub/bars, Hen do’s and an LGBT fiesta.

Manchow are ready for 2014.  Is 2014 ready for Manchow?
