28.11.02: dustball + this ain't vegas + berkeley


The very welcome return of a band we really love and in a fair and just world would be getting the kind of acclaim being lumped onto lesser bands by the NME. Dustball take that indie rock stereotype and turn it upside down and give it a good shaking out. This Ain't Vegas come from Sunderland, where I had the pleasure of seeing them several times, and play angular DC-style punk. Also on the bill are Cat On From, one of the best new hardcore bands around.

05.12.02: the apes + alta may + ivory springer

Dust down your "Encyclopaedia Of Tricky Time Changes" and check out these bands. The Apes are a guitarless, organ-led trio from Washington DC, over for their first UK tour. Already gaining cult hero levels here, the band have toured with the likes of Les Savy Fav and Mars Volta and get compared to Braniac, Girls Vs Boys and Deep Purple(!). Along with them on this tour are Seattle's Alta May, who rock in the same way that Mudhoney and Queens Of The Stone Age rock. Completing the line-up for the night will be those salty sea-faring Bristol types Ivory Springer.
