"Liam Smith's laidback vocals tear at the heartstrings" - Planet Sound, Channel 4 Teletext

"It's rough, it's raw, it's great"- James Clark, BBC Radio Newcastle

"Raucous rock 'n' roll" - Vic Galloway, BBC Radio 1

"All the best qualities of an anthem, indie back to its best again"- NARC Magazine

"It will no doubt go on to be huge" - God Is In The TV

"Impressive" - Newcastle Evening Chronicle

i don't normally accept friend requests from bands, but seeing as we're playing the same night in box i'll make an exception.

that said, once this comment's done the band's off the friend list anyway! lol (got to be consistent)

FIL096: ELKS @ NEWCASTLE ARTS CENTRE - MONDAY 16 JUNE



Described by Hydragenic as 'a subtle, widescreen sountrack for the bitter break-up of a relationship', London's Elks are unclassifiable in their unconventional brilliance, a band always evolving, taking chances and refusing to sit still. Following a successful string of European shows, the band are coming to Newcastle tonight, Monday 16 June. Also on the bill are Spraydog, Italy's Three In One Gentlemans Suit, and The Black Static of Summer. This one is at the Newcastle Arts Centre, entry is £4 and doors are at 8pm.

FIL097: THESE UNITED STATES @ HEAD OF STEAM - SUNDAY 22 JUNE



These United States/Vandaveer was one of our favourite shows of the year in 2007, so we're super happy to announce that they're both making a return to The Head of Steam, Newcastle on Sunday 22 June. This Washington DC outfit serve up country-tinged folk sautéed in electronic seasoning; along with artier neighbours Le Loup and Exit Clov, These United States offer melodic and amusing ideas to the post-Fugazi landscape, but they're still tied to thoughtful ones-in this case, mostly protesting heartless romantic antics - Village Voice. A co-promotion with our friends Ex-Libris Records, the bill also features John Egdell and Aaron McMullan. Doors are 8pm and entry is £4.

Stars of the Lid are easily one of the most important and influential bands or our times. Read a review of any ambient or experimental band these days and you will see their name being dropped, and it’s not hard to hear why. Stars of the Lid are masters of weaving sonic textures gorgeously into beautiful, absorbing, minimalist epic drones, wavering between subtly mournful and gloriously triumphant, offering the perfect soundtrack to lucid daydreaming.


Hear Stars Of The Lid play in Newcastle in a perfect church setting for this very special show.
