A new night of heavy live sounds and DJs to match in a new venue as dark and loud as necsary.

Following the storming first night of New Heavy Sounds in September (with the marvellous BO-NINGEN headlining), we're super excited about the next NHS night, with zombie-baiting wonders CHICKENHAWK supported by the brilliant heavy garage of BAD FOR LAZARUS, the tight'n'heavy FRAFF and Cardiff's great STRANGE NEWS FROM ANOTHER STAR.
DJs include IGOR VOLK (NYPC / Diesel:U:Music Radio rock show) + STU PLIMSOLES. Visuals courtesy of image meister the k e r n s.
From Rock to Extreme Noise, Hardcore to Acid Rock, Grunge to Doom, Garage Rock to Stoner ie anything that is extreme rock'n'roll!!!

"Quite simply, Alight Of Night is one of the most breathtaking records these ears have been partial to in a long while, and even if Crystal Stilts never make another record, their legacy is assured. " - Drowned In Sound - 9/10
In return, exposure on the show gets you heard by a wide audience across Wales, including many of the country's foremost labels and promoters.
This is an excellent time to send music to me because January is, typically, deader than that proverbial final nail in the coffin.
The best way to send me your tunes is to e-mail a high quality .mp3 to:
themysterytour@gmail.com
I'm keen to hear music of any genre, made by people of any age / ethnicity, from anywhere in Wales. Musicians based in Wales, who aren't Welsh, are welcome to send their music, too. I am an Equal Opportunities Broadcaster ;0)
Please include a short biography with details of where you are based, your preferred web link, and details of any forthcoming gigs / releases.
I don't want / need photos, thank you.
Alternatively you can post CD's to:
Adam Walton, BBC Radio Wales, Library & Arts Centre, Rhosddu Rd., Wrexham LL11 1NF
