The Manchester that The Stone Roses came out of, gritty, urban and falling apart is definitely reflected in the type of music they then created. It had a spirit and drive that seemed to come straight out of the empty factories, along the rubbish strewn gutters and into our terraced houses as the music of the place and time. It is interesting how the music can be recontextalized when re-released and can be applied successfully to new places, new times. I would have issue with calling the Stone Roses Euro trash because to me (perhaps I am biased) they are quintessential Manchester: global but local, unique yet with global appeal. Derriere looks like many places we have in Manchester through necessity rather than design as it has always been a place where we take everything that we have around us and turn it into something better which we then share with the rest of the world, just like The Stone Roses. We are pretty humble about being the best city too! I would check out bars in Manchester like common, Odd and Trof as great examples of this.
