4th October - Sweet N Sour SPECIAL at The Welly The Ordinary Boys PLUS Kaiser Chiefs

Hold on to your hats - it's a Sweet N Sour special! Front runners in the new breed of Britpackers storming the charts, frantic foursome The Ordinary Boys combine the stylish mod-punk of The Jam with the pop tricks of Britpop-era Blur and a way with words that Morrissey would be proud of. And in fact Mozzer himself has given them his special and rare seal of approval.

Following a triumphant headline slot at Music Live, smash hit debut album Over The Counter Culture - filled with bona fide chart hits like Week In Week Out and Talk Talk Talk - has cemented them as one of Britain's brightest. A love affair started by Steve Lamacq and NME is now spreading nationwide, and these skinny-tie loving nutters are fast becoming hot property. Charismatic, attitude-emblazoned and with killer tunes to die for, The Ordinary Boys are the real deal - where dreams and optimism meet genuine pop ambition. A blur of inspiration, escapism and triumphant celebration - NME

Supergrass, The Kinks, Beta Band, XTC.. Kaiser Chiefs are impeccable in their influences and the result is a delirious mess of quirky pop thrills that has already seen them tour with Franz Ferdinand. Spanking new debut single Oh My God is a summery delight and an NME Single of the Week to boot. Doors Open 7pm Tickets £9 adv

Album Reviews - Koreisch - The Decaying Schizophrenic Christ Complex (Calculated Risk) By Steve Rudd
	This 14-track album is actually a re-release, although it has been remixed and remastered and so might still appeal to folk who bought this monster the first time around in the late nineties. Such folk would have been of the variety that is obsessed with hardcore rock to manic Read more...

Album Reviews - The Clauberg Opera - The Death of this City By Michelle Dee
	Is The Clauberg Opera's foreboding CD title, The death of this city, prophesising the end of Hull? It could be describing the very nature of urban society where all cohesion is lost to poisonous, suspicious, insular, ideologies. When does a city actually die? Read more...

Album Reviews - Three Movements - Electricity Wiped out Heaven (Calculated Risk) By Steve Rudd
	If you've got half an hour of your life to spare for this 6-track mini-album, then good for you - it's nigh impossible to be disappointed by the raving beauty and dynamic musicianship on offer. The atmospheric, haunting subtlety of instrumental opener Awaken is so breathtaking that Read more...

Music Reviews - Biffy Clyro and This Girl at Asylum 24th September 2004 By Steve Rudd, Photos by Darren Rogers
	If only I knew that the gigs at Asylum start earlier than most gigs. The Asylum, for those that don't know, is all swanky part and glorious parcel of the Hull University Campus (off Cottingham Road) - and, of-late, the venue has been welcoming a whole host of incredible talent. The gigs there tend to start just Read more...

Music Reviews - Biffy Clyro At Asylum - 24th September By Andy Dykes, Photos by Darren Rogers
	The cult of Biffy Clyro swirl, pulse and swell like a spring tide while their heroes rock mercilessly infront of them. On record, Biffy Clyro are a band whose songs range from the heart wrenchingly emotional to the jaw droppingly powerful. But I'm totally unprepared for the sheer intensity of the Biffy Clyro live experience. Read more...

Music Reviews - 30th August 2004 - Anarchy in Jaz Bar By Kelly Bolder
	It seems at the moment Hull's collection of successful young bands cannot help but impress. The line up tonight included 3 Hull bands and 2 other Northern stars. On a bank holiday Monday in Hull you could be forgiven for thinking that the places to be were Beverley Road and the Waterfront but you would be Read more...

Music Reviews -The Spark, BBC at The Piper, Tom Jackman, Thief, Le Shed, Turismo 21st Sept 04 By Andy Dykes
	When I arrive at The Piper tonight, I'm greeted by my friend Charlotte. She's here as a photographer, but has also been roped into being compere for the evening. Apparently, preparations for tonight's show aren't running smoothly. Absent sound guys and faulty monitors aside, there are cameras everywhere. Read more...
