Hey, just a cheeky plug. My band Boycott (www. myspace. com/boycottband08) have got a lovely gig at The Castle in Oldham this Friday, doors 10pm, entry £3, club night till 3pm. We will be onstage about 11ish.
Should be a top night, its our first gig at the venue so any support would be greatly appreciated. We will be giving away copies of our new c.d and be playing at least 2 new songs!
Our singer Paul has got so excited about this gig that he came down with a case of food poisening this weekend (a proper double header, you know, one over the toilet, one over the sink!!!)

The high seas roll Tom Mansi & The Icebreakers with their raindog sound underground to Tiger Lounge. . .
With dark blue double bass country laments and beating rhythm rock n roll stories, Tom Mansi & The Icebreakers are a smoked raw, boozed out juke joint band in the finest tradition. Tales spun tall and true from the end of an early hours bar to be repeated on the endless open road. Tales drawn from Las Vegas highs of touring with film legend David Lynch as part of Donovans band to the seedy lows of playing forgotten Soho theatres with jilted, faded cabaret stars. New single ‘Who Dunnit’ is released on Mon.21st April by Kartel with debut album ‘Love on The Rails’ to follow in summer 2008.
