THE BRUTE CHORUS:
One day they will write a bad song and we will slag it without a backward glance, but up to now The Brute Chorus have poured nothing but rock-pop-what the fuck was that? gold into the ears of delighted cynics and wonderlings alike. These are some dates of what appear to be their world tour of London. Treat yourself to one or all of these...

LOS SALVADORES:
Are a gloriously filthy, or feeeeelthy punk-folk-blues come well organised Chuck Berry fan club with banjos who make The Levellers sound like stockbrokers on a corporate bonding beano. They are great. Have some greatness here (www.lossalvadores.co.uk) and there...

THE BROKEN FAMILY BAND:
Country-sweet cyanide laced rock n prowl loveliness from the only band big, tough, rough n obstinate enough to contain one of the world's increasingly sung-unsung songwriters. Tense, taut, vein bulging brilliance will alternate with subtle cynicism here...

DOCKERS MC:
Spoken word stuff from middle class girls
that you can to listen to, without puking or
wanting to kill them. It's also good, what the
fuck is going on? Try these and report back
in code. Meanwhile, the Kate Nash fatwah is
renewed.

JOHN PARKES:
The voice of the uncommon man ram
jamming a dangerous mix of sedition
and melody into cool and classy punk-folk
packets. The ideal and thought-provoking
antidote to Arctic Bragg's Billy Monkeys.
John Parkes is drowning in, not surfing on
your river of pain. He's fun as well.

28th Feb: Topic Folk Club @ Bradford
29th Feb: Moon & Sixpence @ Glossop

THE WALLBIRDS:
We recently described their new single, "The
Avenue" as a "Dylan does Camden or Clash
does Guthrie slam-a-long thing". Incredibly
rude as we've since discovered that they're
much, much better than that. Plus... they
auctioned a show, anywhere, anytime on
Ebay and copped a winning bid of £780. 00
Go see them anyway, they're great.

16th Feb: Dry Bar, Glasswerk @ Manchester

THE CAVALIERS:
There's a lot of crap from Camden and a lot
of nothing from Hoxton whores, but this lot...
"Some insolently talented rich kids decided
to play rock stars for the afternoon. So... it's
all Byron in a poppy-panzer, irrestible and
hateful like fags." We understand that the
NME love them too, but don't let that put you
off any, or all of these shows;
