Bob Rafkin
CB2
American Bob Rafkin was much in demand as a session musician in the 60s and 70s but it is in the last 10 years that he has come into his own as a premier singer, songwriter and guitar finger stylist.
He played on sessions for Gene Vincent, The Everly Brothers, Randy Newman and Arlo Guthrie. and songwriting career took flight in the early seventies with his song "Lazy Waters," covered by the Byrd's on their LP, "Farther Along." Bob's first-rate guitar playing was in demand for Tim Buckley's "Sefronia" album and Augie Meyer's 1973 LP "Western Head Music Company."
Dirty Linen - "He's an exceptional guitarist, has a smooth, pleasing voice, and his years spent in the studio show in the simple, yet effective arrangements."

Pavlov's Cat: Formed in 1999 this very English sounding group play melodic, rolling songs with the emphasis on dynamics and organic sounds. They are lyrically cynical, occasionally dark but not without a glimmer of optimism. James Hibbins' spartan acoustic guitar and rich vocals are now accompanied by Bernard Hoskin on acoustic bass.
"I get to hear a lot of bands on my travels: every so often, one really stands out. Pavlov's Cat stood out: they play well, sing well and write very good songs. Highly recommended!" - Clive Gregson.

Attitude presents - THE SKELETAL FAMILY 80'S GOTH LEGENDS
Man On The Moon

THE SKELETAL FAMILY 80'S GOTH LEGENDS make a long awaited appearance in Cambridge. In the 1980's the band had enormous indie sucess with classic dark numbers such as 'The Night', Promised Land and the Haunting 'She Cries Alone'.
This is a rare opportunity to catch one of the great goth indy bands of the 1980's!!
Support comes from Cologne's finest dark wave combo The SlimP. Their sound is old school goth. Basically the Offspring of Siouxsie and Robert Smith, that's a pretty good description. I say no more.....
and the wonderful Compact Pussycat, Norwich's fab all female band make a welcome return to complete a truly dark line up!!

If you want to be sure of getting in then why not buy your ticket in advance for £10 from www.wegottickets.com

 

 

SCAR MY EYES TOUR!w/ NATO & Many things Untold

SCAR MY EYES TOUR!w/ NATO & Many things Untold
Man On The Moon
Scar my Eyes come to Cambridge on their 3rd UK tour this summer.

Royston (Brown Town), Hertfordshire. U.K.
Coming from a place more well known for it's heroin habits than local music scene, you could forgive these guys for being a little bit different to your average metal band. While most bands around the U.K. had some sort of blueprint to follow, Scar My Eyes sat back in a small youth centre in the depths of no-where and constructed a sound both heavy, and heartfelt.

Combining their love for thrash metal, hardcore and heavy grooves, Scar My Eyes created a new, refreshing take on modern music adding a darker edge that truly sets them out from the rest....A formidable live act...to say the least...

With the successful nationwide sale of their Double 'A' Side single recorded by Dan Weller and Justin Hill of ex SiKTh (R.I.P) and now 'Minutes', Scar My Eyes have since released their debut EP 'This Machine...' (again recorded by Dan and Justin) After a successful month long UK tour in support of their latest EP 'This Machine...' Scar My Eyes are booking their second 2008 UK tour with Open the Skies and Lavondyss in support of it's release...

Scar My Eyes have just recently signed a deal with TMG (Transcend Media Group) to release 'This Machine...' on Transcend Records. Look out for the Transcend release date coming soon!!
