Hopefully it's not too late to tell you about our next gig, it's tomorrow (or perhaps tonight by the time you read this!) Fri March 9th.
It's a memorial gig for Sophie Lancaster and an awareness raiser for the SOPHIE campaign. S.O.P.H.I. E Stands for Stamp Out Prejudice Hatred and Intolerance Everywhere
The venue is Corporation Nightclub. Tickets are £5 adv Doors 7:30
For those of you who are unaware. Sophie Lancaster was kicked to death during a brutal attack on her and her partner as they walked home one night in their home town of Bacup, Lancashire. The reason why they were singled out for this horrific attack was because they were different, belonging to the gothic subculture. Attacks like this are all too common, i can't think of anyone belonging to a subculture that hasn't been attacked, threatened or verbally abused as a direct result of their chosen form of self-expression, gothic or otherwise.
Dyonisis are playing a memorial gig on the 9th of May along with Novus UK, Joolz Denby, and NYAAA (New York Alcoholic Anxiety Attack). If you live in the area please come down and show your support.
On Wednesday May 14th we return to The Deaf Institute for an evening of lyrical, alternative and contemporary folk music and visual ambiance, in a modern modern setting, with pews, below a glass roof...........with Anna Kashfi, Dan Haywood's New Hawks and At Swim Two Birds who will feature a video projection of 'The London Nobody Knows'.
"The London Nobody Knows, a 1967 documentary stroll around the city with James Mason. No horseguards, no palaces, but Islington's Chapel Market, pie shops, and Spitalfields tenements. Carnaby chicks and chaps, the 1967 we have been led to remember, are shockingly juxtaposed with feral meths drinkers, filthy shoeless kids, squalid Victoriana. Camden Town still resembles the world of Walter Sickert. There is romance and adventure, but mostly there is malnourishment. London looks like a shithole".
Solid Earth and what? the folk present: beats, roots and leaves, an eight hour charity session of musical goodness at Manchester’s best pub in nearly the countryside: Jackson’s Boat in Sale Water Park. All proceeds to MSF in Darfur.
It’s May, the perfect month for a doo in a marquee surrounded by trees. If it rains, don’t fret, we’ll be inside instead. Jackson’s Boat will be serving proper ales and food so make an evening of it, bring some warm clothes now.

"Husker New, anyone? Canadian foursome Uncut have a similarly fine way with brittle belligerence ("Let's just kill all the living" opines opener 'Darkhorse'), labyrinthe melodies (see the epic 'Out of Sight') and artfully fractious strums (particularly 'Chainfight'), making this a minor post-hardcore masterclass.

One of only five UK shows on his 'Paisley Dreams' tour The Basement are very proud to have Steve Wynn playing on Friday.
Performing with Robert Lloyd (Willard Grant/John Wesley Harding) he has a great catalog of songs from previous bands The Dream Syndicate and The Miracle Three to a new record recently finished with Chris Eckman (Walkabouts).
With Boss Caine in support this should be a mighty fine night. Cheers, Joe.
