New Reviewer
20 Sept 05: We normally leave this area
for news about what's going on out in the wide blue yonder
that is Lincoln, but for once (and because there seems little
news coming our way) we thought we'd introduce you to our
new reviewer. Katrina has quite a track record, so if you're
an indie or Alt Rock band, and you're looking for a review

Eustacia Vye - The rumours aren't true
14 Sept 05: Had word from Harry from
Eustacia
Vye that the band are definitely not splitting
up. Having just secured a gig at the Cockpit in Leeds supporting
Idiot Pilot, they are to play a last gig in Lincoln for the
foreseeable future this Friday (16th Sept) at The Bivouac
and then concentrate on gigs further afield. They will be
missed in Lincoln, but you should all have a copy of "If
There Has Ever Been A Sense Of Urgency…It's Now" to keep
you company until they do come back.

The Past Update
10 Sept 05: The
Past's bassist, Piers Angove, celebrated his 21st birthday
in style last week although his day was coloured somewhat
when his Rover 620i was broken into, while he was in a convenience
store buying groceries. Luckily his in-car cd, bass and several
birthday gifts were not taken, but the thieves instead made
off hot footed with his large "Head" sports bag off the back
seat. The rest of the band all wished they could see the raiders'
faces when they opened the bag, expecting to find expensive
trainers, squash racquets etc and instead found themselves
facing Piers' (somewhat toxic) dirty socks and underwear on
their way to the laundry. Piers is however bewailing the loss
of all of his favourite shirts and trousers.
Partially in consolation, the band has just
had some good news on the recording front. After hearing the
"Close your Eyes" demo CD (released in March) the well known
London-based Record Producer, Andrew East, who is also Chairman
of the Music Producers Guild of Great Britain has agreed to
produce The Past's planned first album. The band has been
writing new material for the last six months and now has nine
new, so-far unrecorded, numbers to be laid down. The precise
details still have to be ironed out but East will be travelling
up to Chapel Studios early in the new year to mastermind the
new residential recording sessions at Lincolnshire's premier
recording venue, Chapel Studios in Alford.

09 Sept 05: Emo Punks For
No Reason are playing at the Attic on Sunday night with

FNR play as they move on to Uni. So if you're able, get along
and see them, its only £3.00 on the door. They're also
selling their new EP - "Fail" on the night.

Matt Watson news from Kelly @ Electric PR
08 Sept 05: Kelly (Electric
PR) has just got back from "a mega tour with Linea
77 and Korn in Italy. The only bad bit was The Rasmus. Nevermind".
And now has a bit of news:
For those who witnessed the secret showcase
gig at the Axe and Cleaver on Tuesday night with Newark band
Bacchus (featuring Lincoln's very own Matt
Watson), like us you'll still be reeling from some killer
hits. if you haven't been to a Bacchus gig before then you
are in for a treat both on and off stage. The electricity
of the band is fairly, um, electrifying and if you have a
look around the bar/venue you may spot celeb fans such as
Phil Collen and Rob Harris of Jamiroquai! Good news reaches
us from down south where one such management company have
decided to take Matt and run with him. Sonic Bang management
who are responsible for the careers of bands such as The Wildhearts
and the five-figure deal babies The Shivers watched with great
interest on Tuesday and after a stunned silence, said this
of our Matt "Matt Watson is the best guitarist I have heard
in 10 years. There is no one out there right now that touches
his ability and musicianship". As a result of Tuesday night
Matt will be sharing his commitments with Bacchus as well
as recording with Sonic Bang for a possible Polydor Records
release. Watch this space. For more info about Matt and Bacchus
go to his website www.matt-rocks.co.uk
or can click on his Lincoln
Bands page.

[starter] in London pics
15 Aug 05: Pete, intrepid photographer
of many a local gig braved the torrential weekend rain to
travel down to the Playroom in Londonwith [starter] last Saturday
night. Pete mentioned that it turned out "to be a top night,
with a near capacity crowd in which helped provide an upbeat
atmosphere. [starter] were fabulous and were on a high afterwards
- lots of encouraging feedback from the crowd and other performers
helps. I was dead proud of them and it was definitely worth
making the trip to see them - even if we didn't get back till
4am."
Photos of the night can be seen on Pete's site:

New Meadows Festival Cancelled
02 Aug 05: It appears that The
New Meadows Festival has been cancelled. We haven't got
a lot of details other than the brief note on the website:
"Due to circumstances beyond our control
this year's new meadows music festival has had to be cancelled
"
and a forwarded email from the manager of one of the bands
due to play:
"Some of you appear to already have
heard this, but it would seem that the New Meadows Festival
was totally cancelled by its Directorship earlier this morning.
I've just had my employment as booking agent
for the company terminated at 12pm today, and am not as yet
aware of the reasons...
All I can say is my apologies ... and that
the lineup and weekend was looking fantastic."
If we here anything else we'll let you know.
