four day Hombre @ Barfly (Sheffield)
Call me old fashioned but the Barfly is just that bit too new and shiny for me. It definitely isn't on the Sheffield 'toilet circuit', and there's just something about those venues.
Band Profile: The Smokin Jones
From a song-writing partnership spanning over 3 years, The Smokin Jones was formed in Leeds, UK, by singer Kris Jones and guitarist Kevin Sumpter after a chance encounter at a Shaun Ryder gig.
I could tell it was going to be a good night, when a old guy who looked a little worse for wear, started to dance in a ballroom dance fashion to the music before the first band came on.
The Whippets: You'll Be Fine EP
I'm not really a lover of filling reviews with press release fodder, but this is fucking excellent: "The Whippets sound like a dip in a plunge pool, followed by a particularly tricky numbers round of Countdown, standing on your head and then finding a tenner you didn't know you had and spending it all on Pic n'Mix." Right dissection fans, let's go...
'The Needle and the Damage done', 'Heroin', 'Beetlebum', anything off John Frusciante's first two solo albums...
The Sunshine Underground @ Faversham
Strange things are happening in the dance world. Warp records not only sign Geordie punk monkeys Maximo Park in a holyfuckthisisn'tthenewBoardsofCanada moment but they also release a white soul album.

The annual Bright Young Things showcase has been very much like a 'Kinder Surprise' over the last few years - yes you may look back fondly enough, but you'd rather have a 'Fizzy Cola Bottle' (Futuresound competition) or even a 'Flying Saucer' (local band nite at Joseph's Well) because, at the end of the day, while the 'Kinder Egg' promises much, open it up and a crappy toy that you play with for five minutes and then lose down the back of the sofa is all that confronts you.
