More information about Loco Ono Ft Nope Rope and The Mandela FX tickets

The Mandela FX come to Chester to showcase their shoegaze / psychedelic sounds that have mesmerised audiences across North Wales.  The Wrexham-based quartet are teaming up with Chester's Loco Ono in the first of an expected series of gigs together over the coming months.

Local heavyweight duo Nope Rope pride themselves on being so loud you can feel your vertebrae vibrating when you hear them live. Powerful bass riffs coupled with slamming drums and clean vocals make Nope Rope an interesting, intense combo that have grown rapidly in popularity in a short time in their home city of Chester.

The night of eclectic sounds from three local bands will be headed up by Loco Ono. The three-piece hail from Chester and will be delivering a diverse set comprised mostly of songs from their 10-track debut album ONOTHEQUE Vol. I, plus some new material from their second release ONOTHEQUE Vol. II, anticipated later this year.
