10 short stories: the fast paced & brutal Harvest careers its way across Europe; while the more thoughtful & reflective The Jad deals with growing up on Tyneside. Feral: clash between modern urban youth & someone who lived their dream. Scorpio: tale of revenge. Mariella: short sequel to Harvest. Kerfuffle: short fast paced story of obsession & love. Bastille Day: humorous tale which strikes a chord with anyone doomed to the penal servitude of the school run! Colin: leaves you guessing to the very last moment. Night Shift: the seedy underbelly of life in a low rent Belgian night club. Deadline: short & brutal.
Micky has spent the last 26 years concentrating on not making any money from playing in a succession of bands such as The Blood Robots, Generic, Anything But That, One By One, Ebola, & Jinn; & thought it was time to add pen to plectrum as weapon of torture.
"Drawing on his years in the gritty DIY punk scene, & dredging up universal memories of bleak, grey childhoods, Micky McGuinness has penned a deliciously grim and nihilistic collection of hard-nosed crime fiction, peopled with the sort of realistically nasty characters we might all have grown up with living next door to us... shining a light into the darkest recesses of the subconcious where REVENGE is king, this is an impressively memorable body of believable work that will stay with you long after the last bloody act of retribution has splattered the final page..." --Ian Glasper author of Burning Britain & The Day The Country Died.
This will be the only Dartz gig anywhere until Easter 2009, so don't miss out! It'll also be their first gig in Newcastle as a four piece and what with it being Christmas, they'll be giving away a few presents, 'cause they're nice like that.
Support comes from Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire, fresh from their tour of Poland, and Hartlepool superstars Ankles, who are a bit like The Shins, but lower.
Either follow the links above or search "Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire" on iTunes.
"Produced by ¡Forward, Russia!'s Tom Woodhead, debut single A Fire Born In Dallas (released on the Pay For The Piano imprint) finds post-hardcore and prog influences welded together to create a sound that is both vulnerable and self-assured. Admittedly, the usual influences of Fugazi and At The Drive-In are worn pretty obviously, but the band are far more than mere copyists.
Indeed, at their single launch they offered an intense and impassioned performance, with snare cracks and upstrokes reverberating around the venue.
Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire, it would seem, have more than enough firepower in their sonic arsenal to kick some of the music world's feted young pretenders into touch. " The Metro

“These Born Snapped nights have already played host to some fantastic local bands, and it's good to see a decent local music night outside of the centre of Newcastle. If you're a NARC. reader who lives in or around Whitley Bay, you could do a lot worse than attend one of the great gigs appearing on your doorstep” -NARC
To celebrate we’re GIVING AWAY A LIMITED GUESTLIST. If you live in Whitley (or even if you don’t) give us your name and we’ll put you on the list. (send us a message titled: Guestlist) First come first served! Obviously.
