Thursday 7th October - David Devant and his Spirit Wife, Blue Sand and Park n Ride At Sweet N Sour - The Welly

Those who have seen David Devant and his Spirit Wife play live already will undoubtedly still recall fondly the sight of a crooning Little Richard lookalike stepping through a mirror, only to have a carrot grated over his head while performing a tribute to redheads called Ginger. Those who haven't seen this bizarrely brilliant band onstage before need to clear their diaries for one of the most original and hilarious live bands in the world.

Yes, after a long hiatus, Mikey The Vessel Georgeson and his motley crew of vaudevillian madmen have returned to Earth with a new album - Power Words For Better Living - which still sounds like the greatest pop guitar band you've never heard - and a live show that continues to be the missing link between classic Bowie and Vic Reeves Big Night Out - although with a darker edge than ever before. They're back - and it's about time.

Blue Sand - A soul-charged indie quartet from Hull, think a turbo-charged Stereophonics, with singer Gary giving these instant guitar anthems a throaty, rasping edge. Park n Ride - Quirky, original, and with more than a hint of The Coral about them, these teenage local heroes are a polished treat, with the odd Bugsy Malone cover even thrown into their diverse set 9pm £5 Beverley Road, Hull Tel 01482 221113 http://www.doremi.co.uk/dd/

Music Reviews - Har Mar Superstar at Asylum - 30th September By Andy Dykes, Photos by Darren Rogers
	Above the stage in Asylum tonight hangs a giant g-string. It's not the remnant of some bizarre student ritual; it's the calling card of Har Mar Superstar. He's marked his territory. Tonight, this venue and all the beautiful people who show up to dance to his insane party grooves will be his. Har Mar bounds onto Read more...

Music Reviews - Morphines, Amber Souls, Fado Rock and Superscape 23rd September 2004 at Thee Box, Asylum By Cilla
	Mo and I were happy to go back to the Asylum. It's been several months since our last visit and even though our names weren't on the guest list as we'd expected, Cheryl and her co-door lady (whose name I have forgotten - sorry and thanks!) let us in. Cheers to you both for that! It looked like we were early Read more...

Music Reviews - Ernest and Ottogono at the Adelphi - 24th September By Michelle Dee
	This was an eagerly anticipated gig by many. Having been fortunate enough to hear the lyrically superior E.P. Pimps B**ches and Superheroes a few weeks previous I too was looking forward to hearing the ever -popular Ernest. This must-have disc was ably reviewed on here by 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...

Music Reviews - Fraction of the Cost, Displacements, Cracktown, Jenny Bromley Unite Against Fascism Sunday 19th September - Ringside by Daniel Laney
	I've always admired the second floor function room at the Ringside bar. It looks and feels like a cheesy, but not tacky cabaret bar from Blackpool. If you were to glance at the stage you could imagine various acts leaping out at you from behind the curtains and annoying the hell out of you for half an hour whilst you Read more...
