Violet Violet

Event: Violet Violet
Venue: Barfly - closed 4 June 2008
Date: 11 May 2008 - 14:55
Event details: Tasty, barbed musical morsels snatched from the fingers, mouths and hearts of PJ Harvey, Sleater-Kinney and Huggy Bear, heavily seasoned with violet violet's own arty brand of vibrant wit and wisdom. This is gossip rock. It's edgy, full-on bitching, harmoniously delivered by a feisty trio of sardonic sirens. Tumbling tunes stuffed full of perfect and primal tribal rhythms with buzzsaw bass, gyrating guitars adn a dual-pronged lead vocal attack that's guaranteed to get you singing and bopping along to their infectious DIY dance floor ditties. 

Tune in, take note and listen to their woah-a-oh! You'll be unable to resist the violet violet range of sound: from infectious disco beats to hard screaming riot grrrl noisiness, each skit telling tales of bad dress sense, nasty nights out and crushing one-liners.

Delays

Event: Delays

Date: 27 Feb 2008 - 20:00
Event details: Delays are an English indie band formed in Southampton, consisting of brothers Greg and Aaron Gilbert, Colin Fox and Rowly.

The Courteeners

Event: The Courteeners
Venue: Barfly - closed 4 June 2008
Date: 29 Jan 2008 - 20:00
Event details: There's nothing better than a band or artist that can divide opinion straight down the middle. Radiohead, Oasis and Pete Doherty are three that immediately spring to mind, and it won't be long before The Courteeners are added to that list, if they haven't been already.
Ian Brown recently said that too many of today's artists spoke like politicians, saying nothing of any real interest other than toeing the industry line and repeating what most people already knew. Enter one Liam Fray, frontman, guitarist and main songwriter with Manchester quartet The Courteeners. In the few months his band have been in the public eye he's already made a name for himself as someone who likes to share his opinion somewhat - no matter what it may be - and this evening, before the band's first date as main support on The Coral tour, is no exception.
We're sat outside Nottingham's Rescue Rooms on a pleasant October evening with Fray and drummer Michael Campbell. Guitarist Conan Moores and bass player Mark Cuppello are inside grabbing some food. Let the tape roll...

Art Brut
