So, October didn't happen. Boooooo. But November looks AMAZING. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! As this is our last show of 2008 this will be our Halloween/Guy Fawkes/Christmas/New Year show(and Thanks Giving for any poor Yanks out there) so come along and festive with us. It'll probably get messy but hell, we've 5 great bands for you so you might as well enjoy them!!
Mad Staring Eyes (www.myspace.com/madstaringeyes)
Such was the response to their previous show at STUFFED, we have invited Mad Staring Eyes back for the last show of the year. Their infectious tunes are Maximo Park-ian but their stomp is more akin to the Kaiser Chiefs. XFM described them as the "must have, must see band of the moment" and their new single is to be featured on Gossip Girl - which I am assured is a good thing. Either way, they are an awesome band and especially fantastic live so get your ass down the front!
Little Tremors (www.myspace.com/littletremorsmusic)
One of the hottest of Manchester's latest crop of starlets are Little Tremors. Sandman Magazine said they "invite comparisons with CSS' eccentric and elastic frontwoman, Lovefoxxx, but Little Tremors' sound owes more to the likes of Yeah Yeah Yeah's or The Long Blondes". Chuck in some Ska rhythms and a line-up with model looks and you've got the perfect band right there. Catch 'em while you can!!
Stages Of Dan (www.myspace.com/stagesofdan)
Fresh from the triumphant In The City show and supporting the Red Walls, London's finest trio roll in to town looking fro mischief. Stages Of Dan do Rock'n'roll the way they used to make it - raw, from the heart, occassionally shambolic and without a British Safety Kitemark in sight! Forget the Kaiser Chiefs, this is how the English should sound!!
Mr Twist (www.myspace.com/mrtwistband)
Recent signings to Trashed Management and readying themselves for a national offensive, Mr Twist come on hard with poppy hooks laid over thundering rock rhythms. Infectious stuff that ought to be gracing stadiums and festivals before the Credit Crunch is over!
Dan Burn (www.myspace.com/danburn)
Westcountry troubador turned city-slicking entertainer, it's the stuff of movies - back off Spielberg, I own the rights! Mr Burn writes songs that are instantly hummable but that never grow irritating. Influences like Buckley and Radiohead are fine but it's the elements of My Vitriol and Smashing Pumpkins that make these songs so good!
Plus indieA DJs (www.myspace.com/indiea) until 1.00am
