Music Live Band Nightclubs Reviews
Friday 14th May at The White Room
Dumpvalve + Blind Frog Ernie

Friday night at the White Room saw two of Hull's top bands playing together for the first time in this unusual billing.

Blind Frog Ernie took the stage at 9 to a warm crowd and soon had everyone dancing.

This band always leaves you with the sense that they've enjoyed playing and tonight was no exception.
Catchy guitar riffs fused with one of the tightest rhythm sections I've heard provided the platform for the powerful vocals of front-man Neil Bailey who delivered every song like his life depended on it.

Despite a guitarist with a badly cut hand and some in house technical difficulties this is probably the best I've seen the Frogs play.
The more I see Dumpvalve the more I want to see them signed.

These guys deserve it, taking the stage with the presence of rock-gods despite most of them having worked an 8 hour day.

And where they got the energy tonight I don't know but everyone here could feel it as they tore through their set, finishing with new song My Town which I think is their best to date.
It's great to see a metal band making use of backing vocals and the extra dynamics it gives them is impressive.

Dumpvalve really know how to put on a show and I can't wait to see them on a bigger stage.

If you haven't got a copy of Hidden, get a copy and turn it up loud.

Music Reviews - After the Silence, The Bonnitts and The Cardinals Under the Influence Hull Adelphi 12th May
By special guest Reviewer Lee - from
After hearing more good things about local music entrepreneur Dean Shakespeare, I headed down to the good old Adelphi to check out the latest instalment of his fortnightly showcase Under the Influence. Upon arriving at the Adelphi around 8:30pm, I wandered into an already busy atmosphere, bustling with an air of expectation Read more...

Music Reviews - Jet Plane Landing, Harvey Half Devoured, Break Even, The Adelphi Sunday 9th May 04 By Charlotte Oakley.
The night kicked off with the support from the four piece rock band Break Even. These guys did a 25 minute set which hit off with one of their newest songs, this is a catchy song and one of my favourites. I was kept interested within their music due to their varied style of rock. They have an interesting set of songs that are all very different from Read more...

Music Reviews - The Cribs, 10000 Things and One Lick Less at The Adelphi Tuesday 4th May 04 by Lee Cassanell
Tea is said to have been discovered in 2737 BC by a Chinese emperor when some tea leaves accidentally blew into a pot of boiling water, and although this sounds as absurd as a nude midget wrestling match in the middle of red square, apparently it's true. I went to see a band the other night at the Adelphi called the Cribs. Read more...

Music Reviews - Music - The 9 year history of Yo-Yo Indie Night. 1995 - 2004 and beyond..........
In 1992 DJ Priya approached the then Welly club Hull manager Paul Tognala and asked him if she could start an Indie music night at his club. He agreed and Priya launched Giraffe at The Welly club with a batch of fanzine-style hand drawn flyers and posters. The first night was a total success and pulled Read more...

Music Reviews - Jet Plane Landing , Drive Like You Stole It & Delta Volts at Fibbers, York Friday 7th May 04 By Steve Rudd
Progressive rock 'n' roll is the order of the day where the Delta Volts are concerned, their intoxicatingly complex and mesmerising music bulldozing the foundations of all rock music that has been and gone before. Relying heavily and heartily on epic soundscapes and mighty guitar Read more...

Music Reviews - Jet Plane Landing, Harvey Half Devoured and Break Even at The Adelphi Sunday 9th May 04 By Amy Willits.
One of the last surviving totally independent rock venues, Hull's Adelphi Club saw yet another first-rate rock night, and I was there to witness the show. Jet Plane Landing, a distinct, punk rock four-piece were top of the bill with support from the enthused and highly enjoyable Harvey Half Devoured and Break Even. Read more...

Music Reviews - Rides The Bus CD Release Night at Bivouac, Duke Of Wellington, Lincoln with Mad Crowd Disease, Negative IQ, Neon Child - 23rd April 04 By Steve Jones
Unfortunately I missed the first band, Neon Child, although I heard that they went down well especially as they are relatively new to playing live. The second band up was Negative IQ. These boys were starting to build up a following round the Lincoln area last year before they skedaddled off to Leicester Uni and other Read more...

Music Reviews - One Lick Less, Park & Ride, Sidewinder at The New Adelphi Club, Hull Saturday 8th May 04 By Douglas Colvin
This Saturday night saw Hull's Adelphi club doing what it does best. On stage were three local bands playing different styles of music to a decidedly mixed audience of friends, fans and curious passers by. On stage first were One Lick Less, three guys playing an unusual brand of Rock 'n' Roll. In an abrupt five song set, they managed to Read more...

Music Reviews - Saturday Night Was More Than Alright - Sidewinder , Park&Ride, Onelickless at The Adelphi - Saturday 8th May 04 By Paul Monkman
The Adelphi Club on DeGrey Street has witnessed hundreds and thousands of the city's best bands play over the years but rarely are three performances of such a high standard as the ones which entertained the crowd on Saturday night. Onelickless opened proceedings with half-an-hour of genuine rock and proved to be the perfect warm-up Read more...
