It’s for helping you reach your musical climax safely
CSS, Justice/Rock City/8.12.07
Despite CSS being partly responsible for today’s youth dripping with the, hopefully toxic, innards of every left over glow stick from the 90’s and Lovefoxx being wholly responsible for bringing back the unflattering glitter cat suit, this night was for many about one band and one band only, Justice.

HTRK, Liars/Rescue Rooms/30.11.07
Despite hailing from the New York scene which can boast some of the biggest and most influential acts in the world, including Interpol, Yeah Yeahs Yeahs and The Strokes, Liars are a treasured cult act respected and even adored by those who know their music but more often than not they are completely off the radar of those who don’t. Not only has the band seen many changes in line up but also in style and it is this that has earned them legions of often beyond loyal fans.
Lethal Bizzle- Stealth 4/12/2007
The man who brought mass chaos and hysteria to thousands at events as big as Leeds festival is going to attempt to squash onto the tiny, held-together-by-masking-tape stage at Nottingham Stealth. Then there’s the fact that this dirtiest of clubs is going to be absolutely rammed with pissed students and rude boys. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, it’s a 14+ gig, so people still at the great age where going ape shit at a gig is more of a given than a sign of how weird/drunk you are, will be flocking in. What sort of axe wielding, shit flinging maniac thought all this wouldn’t result in the place literally imploding with energy and that it would be a good idea? Whoever it was, they’re a brave soul who deserves a pat on the back.

Playing your platinum selling album to masses of adoring fans is something most bands can only dream of doing and something the Danish band Alphabeat have put on hold to bring their wondrously infectious brand of upbeat pop to some of the Uk’s more unglamorous venues.
