22nd September 06 - Tonik The Shine and AfterGlow at The New Adelphi Club

The crowd that had been steadily growing as they started were a little unsure for the
first couple of numbers.
Midway through the set Will had a few dancing near the front, then more until a semicircle
of people had crept closer and closer.
My only negative thought was I felt they should finish their set with the rock-out song
Electric Eyes which was lapped up by tonight's forward thinking crowd, instead of
the one they did end with- Blue Skies.
The roar at the end was a tribute for all the work the band has put in.
A victory for AfterGlow and the best gig I've seen them do yet.

Mo (the only yid in the village) comments on Boba...
Best drummer I've seen since the best band in the world I've ever seen at Adelphi,
The Inner Terrestials
Just before the next band The Shine I remember hearing Pink Floyd's Arnold Lane
over the in house system.
Good song that has me singing along. Then the very popular band came on.
|
|
|
By Now Adelphi was packed. I was at the back of the room trying to get a beer for the first two and a
half numbers. The Shine decide on a set of original songs tonight rather than
the mixture of covers they sometimes throw in.
They hark back to the mid nineties Britpop Oasis days and veer towards QOTSA at
times and baggy Mancunian vibes with sing along choruses Left Me in the Rain and ballsy riffs.
|
The Shine has enticed people from as far away as Liverpool and
Brough to the Adelphi tonight. The big crowd are all loving the anthems and
clappage combines with bluesy riffage that gets them all jumping.
A bit of showmanship and a definite Oasis voicing that appeals very much to the
mid to late twenties crown of Indie-loving guys and girls.
Tambourine on the chest; a look; a familiar pose and Gallagheresque guitars.
|
|
|
Even the drummer joins in the singing which is always a good touch.
The performance is slick crafted and well rehearsed and as The Shine
belt out I don't Mind I am reminded that although thoroughly entertaining this
kind of band are not always as exciting as say a band that still make the odd mistake.

- NEW GALLERIES.

|
Once again, Sweet and Sour at The Welly have provided the people of Britain's
critically acclaimed crappest town with another great line up including one of
Britain's hottest new bands.
I've heard that Bloc Party are the favourite band of the kid who plays
Harry Potter in the films, and as I stand in the queue

Music Reviews - Sunday 16th July 06 - Humber Fest (otherwise known as DarrenFest) By Michelle Dee Photographs by Roland Standaert
|

If you were there that Sunday, a mile outside of Barton on the North bank of the
Humber River halfway down the Far Ings Road, in the glorious sunshine, you will know you
were part of something very special. If you were not then you missed out, unbelievably so.
Yesterday's nine hour Humber Fest music marathon will become the stuff of folklore.
Myths will be created

Music Reviews - Monday 10th July 06 - The Briggs at The Ringside, Hull By Jason and Jordan Carroll Photographs by Mo
|
|
My son and I had just drove up from Stockport where on Sunday night we saw The Briggs,
and yes we are big fans.
On Monday night there were only about 60 people there, which is a shame for a great band from the USA.
They came on and it was 100 miles per hour from start to finish with great songs like
One Shot Down, Waiting in the shadows, Dungeon Walls

Music Reviews - 6th July Stripped 1st Birthday at the Wellington Inn By Michelle Dee Photographs By Mo
|
|
Stripped acoustic night is one year old and I have finally managed
to get down to one of the increasingly popular nights of live music.
I order a pint of the Stripped birthday ale produced specially
for the occasion and slip into a seat near the front.
The music takes place in an area to the left of the main bar in a fairly small
room,

Music Reviews - Tuesday 13th June 06 - Bon Jovi at KC Stadium By Steve Rudd Photographs by Brigitte Freeman
|
|
Fans of rock music in Hull haven't really had much cause to complain over the past couple of
years, given the fact that the likes of Bryan Adams and REM have both played at the KC Stadium.
I could hardly believe it when Bon Jovi were announced to play as the final date of the band's
European leg of their world-wide Have A Nice Day tour, and thus I duly

Music Reviews - Sunday 25th June 06 - Wireless Festival with The Who, The Eels and Turismo at Harewood House Leeds By Moggy SideWinder (Good friend of Pete Townshend)
|
|
After careful, strategic, military organisation (something that has always come
naturally to Hull bands) Turismo and their entourage were ready for lift off
which would launch them bang in the middle of Harewood House in Leeds for the
Wireless festival.
Sadly, much to the distaste of your humble narrator, the organisation committee
had exempted me

Music Reviews - 27th June Shindigg Le Shed Franks and Khi at Piper Club By Michelle Dee with photo gallery

Tonight was a break from the norm, Piper on a Tuesday instead of the Sesh?
My step-dad once said enough is as good as a feast and a change is as good as a rest.
He also had things to say about fruit machines, one-legged men in arse kicking
competitions and matchboxes, but they aren't particularly relevant here.
So there we were,

Music Reviews - Friday 2nd June 06 - Outspoken Silence Jack Knife and Screaming Sorrow at The Ringside By Michelle Dee Photographs By Mo
|
|
In the last month I have spoken about trying to publicise different genres on
thisisull.com so to this end I accepted the invitation from Outspoken Silence to the
half term gig at The Ringside on Beverley Rd.
First off I am not versed in the intricacies of the Emo genre, nor do I have any real
knowledge about the subculture built around the Emo bands.
But I can simply

Tonight was the night that Leeds came to Hull problem was not many turned up for the welcoming party.
Sure enough Piper Club on Newland Avenue was peopled with a number of discerning music fans ready
to witness the fine selection of bands chosen by the Silver Star/Raw Talent partnership.
It also played host to a bunch of students who sounded like they were

form of The Paddingtons who were playing Staks Café Bar fifty
