Sounds LikeTHE GREAT INDOORS....... ( & THE OUTDOORS SPAKE SAID THIS)......... Strong, spikey stuff Id say JOHN PEEL......... Mighty mangled tunes and riffage, great lyrics and attitude, a fine name, what more dyou want from a group ?! JOHN COOPER CLARKE......... In a musical world dominated by pre-packaging and general creative insincerity, let no one accuse The Courtesy Group of going with the flow this is music sans frontieres, eclecticism taken to art-form ROB HAYNES (METRO)......... The Courtesy Group is the sore thumb of rock n roll groups. Tradesmans Entrance is essential listening for anybody who never found the words to catch the insult; as it is for anyone who knows that deepest beauty lies inside the raggety things. FYFE DANGERFIELD (GUILLEMOTS)......... This group ROCK ! LYDIA LUNCH......... A driving rhythm section and poetic- yet relevant- lyrics which will knock the sleep out of your eyes. A very forceful and unforgettable band. CHAZ JANKEL (IAN DURYS CO-WRITER & BLOCKHEADS' M.D.)......... Their In The Rock, On The Rock is the best thing about everyday Brum that Ive heard for a long time. ROB LLOYD ( THE NIGHTINGALES)......... Real charm ! Its nice to see and hear people developing their own way. DAMO SUZUKI

You’re on Brumcast 100 ‘A Celebration’, This behemoth of a show features 50 tracks from Midlands based bands that have been played previously in one of the last 99 shows. Its not a 'Best of Brumcast' and the tracks are in no particular order. This is a (big) slice of some of the tracks that have given me much pleasure over the last 2 years. Some very difficult decisions were made in selecting the tracks for this landmark show. Please promote/plug/whore it!
Direct download link http://brumcast. podomatic. com/enclosure/2008-06-01T11_20_33-07_00. mp3 Please visit the homepage at http://brumcast. podomatic. com for the full playlist

THIS SATURDAY IN BRUM
Fresh from their mammoth tour with The Beat, THE HEELS are back again doing their Ska thang with support from new local dub outfit SUBSTRATE on their debut and some dirty folkers called THE BALSALL HEATHENS who are the bastard lovechild of GBH (Jock on acoustic guitar) and Cupid Stunt (Samuendo on violoin). If none of that grabs you then get back in yer coffin.
DJ Christy will be filling in the gaps.

Thanks a lot for last night, you guys were great...in fact, everyone was!

I wasn't sick anymore since visiting Curate's Egg shindig, I think it fixed me, easily the best kind of medication I've had in a long while!

Looking forward to the next one!
