The Drain Pipes are a 4-piece energetic indie/punk band from Manchester, whose name comes from the bands ever-tight performances. The band formed in November 2005 and in their first year played 33 gigs up and down the UK including a festival slot at Manchesters Bridgewater Hall with top local band Polytechnic, and support slots with Les Incompetents, The Holloways, The Pigeon Detectives and Our Fold to name a few.

It has also been a promising start to 2007 to grabbing a slot in the North West leg of the Transit Tour, and having gigs lined up in various parts of the North up until spring. With an expanding song catalogue of love, hate, jealousy and loneliness the Drain Pipes will carry on to give off the ever tight performances here, there and everywhere.
