The Rumbles are great. Heard they are also playing some festival on 30th June is Surrey, which is interesting. Anyone know what this festival is? Heard The Young Knives are also playing, and The Feeling and The Departure

Let me know!!

The singer of The Rumble Strips reminds me of a young Kevin Rowland.

there’s a band called vincent vincent and the villains who sound almost the same as the rumble strips. it’s uncanny. am i being thick and not realising theyre the same band or something?!

Great gig overall, though I thought Paisley Riot were the stand out band of the night. They provided something completely different to what i antisipated from ‘the token local band’. Great energy and top melodies, i suppose i was listening to the music rather than recognising ‘vocal tics’ (?)

I’ll be at tomorrow night’s Actress & Bishop gig with Phill of Danger! High Postage (his girlfriend fronts StrangeTime) and probably Kenny of Parallax View and Andy Pryke too. I’ll keep an eye out for someone taking a lot of photos!

BTW I’m really enjoying the feature – admirable dedication to the cause, and I just hope you can reflect back on it at the end of the two weeks and come to the conclusion that you’ve come across some really good or at least interesting bands that would otherwise have passed under your radar.

Dexy’s did cross my mind everso briefly…

The Rumble Strips were one of the support bands at the Elbow Room for Misty’s on John Peel Day – and they put on a very tight set there (and Motorcycle live is ace). Other sites reckon they are a bit Dexy’s….?
