BOY cRIED WOLFDRAWINGS FOR PARIS & SUPPORT8pm £4 entry
BOY CRIED WOLF is the project of Wayne Murray, whose EP last year was a beautifully crafted piece of work and testament of one man’s determination to pursue his dream. Partly already come true, Murray is now the live guitarist with MANIC STREET PREACHERS – in fact, NICKY WIRE has helped out with lyrics and JAMES DEAN BRADFIELD played guitar on one track ‘No Comfort From Your Skin’. Th is talent is certainly one to watch out for.

You give the DJ a memory stick of tunes before 8pm (at least an hour’s worth), you book a timeslot (fi rst come fi rst served), the DJ plays your tunes for the hour, during which time you and your party get drinks promos for that hour. Th e DJ mix is then polished, uploaded online the next day, and you’re given instructions to download your own personal mix.

RKc (FORMERLY ROSES KINGS cASTLES FEAT. ADAM FIcEK OF BABYSHAMBLES) OcEAN RED & SUPPORT8pm £6 adv / £7 doors
ADAM FICEK is most commonly known to the general public for his day-job as drummer in notorious British rock act BABYSHAMBLES, fronted by PETE DOHERTY. But what many don’t know is that he is also a talented multi-instrumentalist who writes and performs beautifully crafted songs under the nom-de-plume of RKC (formerly ROSES KINGS CASTLES). A sound lost somewhere between BELLE AND SEBASTIAN’s pastoral warmth and the hallucinatory 6-string invocations of SYD BARRETT.

Northern Irish alt-rockers MOJO FURY have been lauded by all corners of the rock music press following the release of debut album ‘Visiting Hours of a Travelling Circus’ in the summer, with features in FRONT, KERRANG and ROCK SOUND ‘Band of the Week’. Pigeonholed in boxes marked BIFFY CLYRO and PULLED APART BY HORSES, their latest single is a foot stomping, fist pumping alt-rock summer anthem with the industrial swagger of their love for NINE INCH NAILS.
