Music Reviews - 13th September 05 - Kill Surf City at the Sesh By Michelle Dee
	Kill Surf City is generating a fresh wave on the Hull scene. Just a few months ago no-one had heard of this mixed (boy/girl) five-piece. I first saw them 17 August supporting the Applewhites at Ringside. That day I sat down pretty pissed off about things in general and life in particular, I happened to see a vaguely familiar face aside the stage. I recalled some weeks earlier, a conversation Read more...

Music Reviews - Friday 29th July 05 - Park and Ride, The Landaus and The Truth at KU Bar Stockton By Michelle Dee
	At half past three on a balmy Friday afternoon I clambered into the back of a hire van to make the journey to Stockton. Once inside, I was greeted by Hull's flagship band The Landaus, who were playing on the same bill, and a few fans of both bands including the much-loved Haribo and original party monster Dean Shakespeare. Danny Landau appears to have found the best seat Read more...

Music Reviews - Sunday 31st July 06 - Benefit Gig at Staks Bar By Joe Hakim Photos By Roland Standaert
	It's an early start, three in the afternoon, but it's for a good cause. Sundays, and the weekend in general, tend to be meaningless when you're unemployed, yet you always feel obligated to spend as much time in bed and do as little as possible in between bouts of napping. A lot of this is due to the fact that there's fuck all on TV on a Sunday. There's hardly anything good on TV during Read more...

Music Reviews - Monday 25th July - Hayseed Dixie at The Cockpit, Leeds By Joe Malarky Whole lotta Dixie
	I discovered Hayseed Dixie whilst searching for a version of Duelling Banjos in my local record shop. I won't go into why I was searching for the main tune from Deliverance, that's my business and anyway it's not important. What does matter is that I was intrigued by the Tennessee quartet. I did a little research and found that their beliefs are simple. All good songs Read more...

Music Reviews - Saturday 18th June 05 - Yeti and White Rose Movement at Sweet n Sour at The Silhouette By JG Photos by Mo
	Tonight, Yeti's support came from London based White Rose Movement. As soon as the band dived into their first song, I really thought that I was going to love them. In fact, every one of the songs on their set started off sounding very promising; fantastic intros that grab your attention and prepare you for a song full of energy and catchy hooks. However, when the vocals Read more...

Music Reviews - Friday 29th July 05 - GST Cardinals at Ringside By Catherine Campbell
	As Hull's newest and most exciting band, GST Cardinals can really put on a show; their rock and roll sound with a splash of punk is real breathe of fresh air. A support act for the evening, GST Cardinals enchanted the crowd and certainly have a large following for such a new band. When these boys play, you can't help but listen. Read more...

Music Reviews - Wednesday 27th July 05 - Emma Rugg Oceans/Depart EP Launch at the Lamp By Michelle Dee Photos By Roland Standaert
	After the worldwide success of her 2003 album Isolated Impressions Emma has been back in the studio both at home in Hull and in New York and put together a particular set of tracks marking a change of direction in her music. Emma welcomes us all to the Lamp with a bright smile and breezy Hello and an acknowledgement to the artists Shep and Steve Reed who have Read more...

Music Reviews - Saturday 16th July 05 - Doing Hull a Favour - Silhouette Club By Joe Hakim
	So I'm walking down Beverley Road, and as I'm walking this car stops at the lights and a guy hangs it head out of the window and shouts across to me, "Ey, mate...yeah you!" I try to ignore him, but seeing as I'm the only person on the street, there's no doubt in my mind that he's talking to me. Shit... "I think yer've dropped summat, mate," he yells. Read more...

Music Reviews - Tuesday 5th July - Dirty Dreamers, The Saved and Substitute at the Sesh By Michelle Dee
	Over the last few months the Sesh live music night at the Linnet and Lark has been regularly pulling in 150+ people every Tuesday night. Bands from Hull and further afield choose the Princes Avenue pub as the place to be seen. In the last twelve months the Sesh has grown steadily in popularity so that on any Tuesday you are guaranteed quality entertainment amongst a knowledgeable crowd of musicians Read more...

Music Reviews - Tuesday 19th July - Killer of Saints at Fibbers, York By Tom Law
	I love going to Fibbers. I still have awesome memories of the last time we made the trip to York to see 36 CrazyFists ... quite possibly the best gig I have ever been to. So I couldn't have been looking forward to this anymore unless I was dragging the Pope along for a night out. Killer of Saints made their way onto the caged stage Read more...

Music Reviews - Thursday 14th July - Jelly at The Welly By Michelle Dee inspired by Chris Morphine
	Tonight the club is full of 50cents lovers who have just bought the new Razorlight album, says Chris, the beautiful Morphines guitarist. By throwing on a string of beads and a brightly coloured scarf, they declare to all who will listen I am Indie, really! They have duly paid their £4.00 or £2.00 with NUS cards. According to the flyer you get this reduced entry if you are a member too, Read more...

Music Reviews - Hollywood and Mantra at Ringside By Emily
	As I arrived at the Ringside, I noticed that the venue seemed quiet and fairly empty. However, the turnout was good considering that the gig was promoted solely through the bands websites and by word of mouth. As Mantra dragged through a tight set of Pantera style metal; consisting of heavy riffs and memorable choruses, their confidence and stage presence grew Read more...

Music Reviews - Saturday 4th June 05 - SideWinder, Mr Mojo, The Vultures, The Cardinals at the New Adelphi By Julia Grant
	Unfortunately I arrived late to find that I'd missed the first band of the night, The Cardinals. I was told that it had been their debut gig. No doubt I'll get another chance to catch them somewhere soon. Having already seen The Vultures play once before, I thought I knew more or less what to expect. It turns out that I can't have paid that much attention to them on that first occasion. Read more...
