New CD: RIPE - THE DIXIE BEE-LINERS' highly anticipated sophomore release, produced by Bil VornDick (Bob Dylan, Alison Krauss, Ralph Stanley) for Pinecastle Records, featuring the #1 single "Down on The Crooked Road."
7pm - 1am Friday, 3pm - 1am Saturday, 3pm - 12pm Sunday // £5 per day // NO advance tickets
After a veriable famine in the North East music 'scene' where the musically adventurous and artistically driven have been forsaken in favour of the safe, the tame and the bland, Distraction present three days of aural innovation, future players, and diverse sonic excursions that right those very wrongs.
The Distraction Weekender returns. Accept no imitations.
Currently Sweden's hottest export, THOSE DANCING DAYS combine "Sweet as apple-pie pop" with a devilishly sassy Northern Soul and it's this unique combination that has the got the whole of the UK falling over itself and for good reason too!
The subtle dynamics in their songwriting of JOHN and JEHN and the balance between chaos and beauty and the mastery of heartbreaking melodies Expect beautifully skewed hymns in the key of Serge Gainsbourg. http://www. myspace. com/johnjehn
Wakefield's THE RESEARCH are makers of fun, but also write songs that are like punches in the stomach that knock the wind out of you but afterwards you agree that you feel much better for it. www. myspace. com/theresearch

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. Buy tickets now or purchase from RPM, Beatdown or alt. vinyl!
our old friends THE LODGER new single / album out on Bad Sneakers with bouncing bass and extra jangle here is their new video which is reallly nice: http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=LGQ114DPvuY
finally.... there is a new issue of The Cuckoo Press coming out soon!! watch out for updates.. we have a couple of spaces left for nice adverts, so if you want one.. see you soon!!xx
Charlie is Panther, and Panther is some mutant form of Charlie. Having recently supported The Gossip, Panther’s music is hard match of damaged soul, falsetto disco and broken synth fueled freakouts which is as addictive as it is challenging. This solo affair of Charlie Salas-Humara isn’t easily ignored for his unpredictable and energetic performances tainted with throbbing bass, minimalistic hooks and jittery dance routines. Panther’s influences run deep and take as much from Pop and R&B as Free Jazz and Punk.
Fluid and engaging, 7 Hertz fluctuate and mutate live before your very ears. incorporating all or none of the following instruments - basson, violin, voice, double bass, french horn, glockenspiel, clarinet, mandolin, trumpet - they improvise glorious pieces with total, beautiful spontaneity. With imaginations that rival those of Tom Waits and Stravinsky this is modern “classical” music that writhes and soothes - is what they say about themselves and I'd have to agree.
Tigers! - either the worlds most criminally underated band or a total pile of dog-shite depending on who you talk too. TIGERS! we're kicking ass when PANTHER we're completing the american version of the KEY STAGE ONE exam! TIGERS! have played with almost every good band on earth including COUGHS, KIT, THE LOCUST, EATS TAPES, FELIX KUBIN, WOLVES...ETC! TIGERS! are not funky! Thats just bullshit talk to encourage people to get into PRINCE! TI

Kling Klang
I totally buzz off Kling Klang. Fat electro krautrock riffs and landscapes get channeled through amiable scousers. http://www.myspace.com/klingklang
listen to Heavydale
Quack Quack
Yorskhire's top semi-pro rock band create pulsing rhythmic grooves lovingly fermented from the finest drums, synths and bass they could get their hands on. A very special vintage. http://www.myspace.com/thisisquackquack
listen to Conversations
Minghe Morte
Musicianship of the highest calibre which will blow your head clean off. With drums, fucked up sax and bass coming together for infectiously violating rock grooves, tender atmospheres and aggresive spasmodic climaxing. http://www.myspace.com/minghemorte
listen to i Punch U Coz i Like U
Curious Voice Duo
Two lovely girls from LIMA* who know their voices. Performing within semi-structures with an innocent improvisational flair, entwining their heavenly voices in gorgeously melodic dialogue. With no added vocal effects. http://www.myspace.com/elisabethnygaard http://www.myspace.com/mariajardardottir
listen to Elisabeth's 'Clinical Waste' here : http://www.myspace.com/underthestairsstudio listen to Maria's Part 5 Joy of Liberation on her site

Hi guys were playing at legends this friday and would be great to see you there! Were playing with the massive-core giants Immanis which if you were at the academy last time you'll know this isn't a show to be missed! Immanis are on from 8.15 and we'll be on from 9.15! So come down and see more metal than you can shake a very large stick at and then kick back and enjoy legends metal night straight after!
