Friday 26th October 07 - Kill Surf City Riley and the Mumps Michelle Dee at ThisisUll Live at the Adelphi Club

This month months ThisisUll Live www.myspace.com/thisisull_live presents Kill Surf City, Riley and the Mumps and the dulcet tones of Michelle Dee Plus DJ Skin spinning the best tunes of the day.

Each month we'll be featuring just some of the talent that the local scene has to offer, including local record labels, new promoters and special guests, all wishing to showcase their very best. And what better venue than The Adelphi, the music capital of Hull?

Kill Surf City landed a prize slot on the Unsigned Stage at Leeds Carling Festival 07 with accolades and commendations following a stimulating performance. During the summer Kill Surf signed a distribution deal through Square Peg Round Hole Records. They launched the Double A side single A Common Interest in Silence (Live version from Leeds can be heard on BBC Radio) at Yo-Yo Piper in September. MTV2 feature the outstanding KSC video for the track All I Heard And they blew away all the early revellers at East Park Rocks last month. With this band there is no confusion, Kill Surf City are simply outstanding. Come down this Friday 8pm and see if were wrong, the NME don't think we are.

"With their slick, incidental twinkling and brooding melodies, KSC sit dear in the black hearts of Hull's twisted indie kids" NME

Riley and The Mumps played a headline slot at Adelphi earlier this year and it remains one of my favourite feel good live music nights this year. We had dancing and singing and all manner of iconic posing, as the band belted through tune after tune. Riley and the Mumps were central to the launching of Purple Worm Records and have two tracks on the sampler CD and a remix of Crossing Borders by Liam Jensen on the remix CD alongside remixes from bands like Fifty Nine Violets, Ernest and The Vangos. With upcoming gigs at Camden Bullet Bar 11th November and Under the Boardwalk Sheffield on the 16th, this young band will definitely be making a big impact on the gig circuit this Autumn. Come down, be part of it all and some have fun.

During the night, the live music will be broken up by some original verse by Michelle Dee. You can go outside while she's on and smoke a cig or take a listen it's your choice. Last week she described herself as the self styled saviour of the Hull Music Scene when hosting the recent AfterGlow A night in the life of EP Launch party. She shall be reading from her extensive back catalogue of published and unpublished works including one more or a few taken from this site. Michelle has performed as one part of the Renegade Writers at Lit Fest 2004 to great acclaim. Since then she has made up the numbers at numerous shows including the King Billy Cottingham, Babylon Bar Grimsby, Ye Olde Black Boy, (continuing a tradition started by one Philip Larkin) The George Pub and Haworth Arms as well as a September outing at Off The Road night on the hallowed Adelphi stage.

We're not just giving every local band an opportunity to promote their music, we're also intending to give more of our talented writers and photographers the opportunity to flex their creative muscles and make a name for themselves by covering the local scene. The evening kicks off at 8pm, tickets £3. If you're a band looking for media coverage or a writer with an opinion and ready to tell it like it is, we want to hear from you!
