BROKEN ARM
- four dudes from Leeds making garage-rock filled with killer bozo riffs. Their first Bristol show and part of their first tour, they will have their brand new debut EP available at the show, which has come out on Liverpool's Sea records. Members of Broken Arm have previously been in Sailors (gringo), Static Waves, Woman (sea) and Like a Kind of Matador (tumult). Now that's pedigree.




FRINGES
- new band from Bristol with members of Soeza, Line, Headfall and ex-Scarecrows and ex-Murder of Rosa Luxemburg. More sweet pedigree. A tight, jagged, uncluttered, direct sorta sound made by clean-cut squares and scruffy slacks. They are a quartet, with two guitars, saxophone and drums, they keep it instrumental.




COREY ORBISON
- play abrasive, messy, short-sharp, stop-start songs about our cold cold world. Members also in Headfall and involved with the very excellent Local Kid thing.
Check the new tracks up on their myspace!

Hi again,

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the gig at The Thunderbolt on Saturday night. You were amazing, I don't think I've seen you play better and those new songs are so good.
