go to: our last.fm group and join up because it is being over-run with Pulp and The Smiths and no matter how much I love Pulp and The Smiths I do not like languishing at the base of the charts with my current hipster drones...

Awesome Color is a power trio updated for the 2060's, noise provocateurs and impressionists, ace players with punk rock flair, inspired citizens of a small modernist nation of musical, visual, and literary outrage on the outskirts of Brooklyn, or a rainbow amalgam of all of the above at once.
Having recently played gigs supporting IGGY AND THE STOOGES, an upcoming tour with DINOSAUR JR. and plans for a second album on ECSATIC PEACE imminent (the label owned and run by SONIC YOUTH's Thurston Moore), 2008 promises to be a banner year for New York City's mightiest and most inspired rock band. The fix is in!!
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.
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.

4 OR 5 MAGICIANS At last a believable British retort to the drawling rambles of Stephen Malkmus - think Hefner's Darren Hayman fronting Guided By Voices - Music Week I really like the juxtaposition of the sort of dismissiveness and confidence rubbing-up against each other... a clattering pop-noise - Steve Lamacq, Radio 1
when will the magazine be returning? gawsh, myspace is just a haven for spam and adverts now isnt it? no one ever seems to send proper comments anymore.
