WAKE UP, SHUT UP, WORK LP // 2 AUGUST
LONDON DOWNSTAIRS @ THE DOME
THURSDAY 16 MAY 2024
“Is there a better live act in the UK right now than Millie Manders and The Shutup? I’m not sure based on last night’s evidence …” YORK CALLING
“Ferocious, compassionate, fierce and heartfelt with a voice to die for, Millie commands the stage with her presence and her vocal range is truly astonishing. She hits the high notes like an opera singer and has the guttural roar of a hardcore screamer, sometimes in the space of the same song …” IPA MUSIC
Following their rapturously received and predominantly sold out Angry Side tour throughout April, MILLIE MANDERS AND THE SHUT UP are now preparing for the final date at DOWNSTAIRS @ THE DOME in LONDON on THURSDAY 16 MAY. The London show will include an exclusive opening acoustic set of unreleased songs from the band’s forthcoming second album – WAKE UP, SHUT UP, WORK – to be released on 2 August 2024 and support on the night will come from VOODOO RADIO.

WAKE UP, SHUT UP, WORK – the eagerly awaited follow up to their acclaimed debut Telling Truths, Breaking Ties – is available to preorder on vinyl and CD here: https://linktr.ee/milliemanders
Talking about the new album, Millie Manders says:
“Our sophomore album has been so much more collaborative as a band, and it’s been a really wonderful process in terms of expansion and evolution of our sound while maintaining a lot of what we have already put out on Telling Truths, Breaking Ties. It’s also been a great opportunity to bond as musicians, writing in rooms together in blocks over the last year or so. We are all so proud of what we have achieved, and we all hope that Wake Up, Shut Up, Work has a similarly warm reception when it’s released into the world.”
