Explosions in the Sky
Yes. Great band. On the same label (TRL) as Mono. We're talking about Explosions in the Sky. They're playing Bristol Ansom Rooms on Jan 24th 2008. A Thursday. But also, there is a fantastic support band off the same label. Eluvium are very ambient, electronic, no beats-type thing. Check out the website. www.temporaryresidence.com

Second Smile play Newport TJs
Read more here.
Second Smile
Dorset four-piece making chillingly mellow post-rock pierced with moments of pure aggression and heartfelt emotion. A satisfying blend of Mogwai, Youth Movie Soundtrack Strategies, 65 Days Of Static and Hope Of The States. '…one of the UK's finest young bands.' - Rocksound
For more information, see the website
I saw them in Bristol supporting Red Sparowes. Very good band. Crystal guitars and beats. Good song writing stuff.

£17.50
(1st Creation LP)
"When I first heard Daydream Nation - I thought 'what is this music...?' It was raw, abrasive and reminded me of the Stooges and the Velvets. But nothing else sounded quite like it and it quickly took over to become one of my favourite records ever! From the gatefold sleeve to the heavy vinyl this was a lush piece of art that you took home and cherished. This was a time when CDs were alien to the kids and a few years later Slint released Spiderland. In a way their masterpiece inspired me to start the Don't Look Back season. I would think "how do I get to see all of these songs live?" - I was obsessed. I would check the credits and even look at the run out grooves and long for them to play every last track live, so we are really honoured to kick off the season with these legendary albums and also continue the series with the faithful genius that is the House of Love performing their first LP they did for Creation." Barry Hogan (Don't Look Back Concerts).Tickets are all available at www.seetickets.com (0870 264 3333) www.wegottickets.com, Stargreen (0207 734 8932) and the venues box office.. Stay tuned to www.dontlookbackconcerts.com for additions to the season."This is going to be amazing........
