Friday SEPT 28th: Cosmic American proudly presents: JOHN POWER
7pm - 10pm Advance tickets £8

As well as providing the pulse for The La’s, John Power clearly has his own path to follow. Genial, re-energised (he’s newly married) and looking into a sunlit future, he’s already thinking about his next album. In parting he speaks of the commonality of music from the world over, and how the human ear recognises universal melodic phrases, and how we all see ourselves in traditional songs that pre-date us and will survive us too…
It sounds familiar; in this way, Willow She Weeps, his first true solo album, is a fair exchange between him and you, and you and him. “I’ve come full circle,” he says, “and now I wanna get active and do what I do, and get this thing moving. After all this time, I’m only just starting now to look forward.”

9pm - 3am Adv. £4
Indie/Electro club night with Radar resident DJ's & the best in NEW MUSIC
Introducing The Displacements, a young band from Leicester with big ideas. They formed a few years ago, Andy, Nick, Schwill and Bone – mates and brothers picking up instruments and learning to play them together in the front room of their house.
The displacements honed their talents playing free gigs in local pubs and getting all of their mates rammed in. They then started touring and playing gigs all over the country travelling in the backs of vans and big red trucks.The lads spent many nights writing songs in their hometown, inspired by the bands they loved, the girls they liked, the things they’ve seen and the nights out they’ve had.
Their style has been likened to The Who, a Hamburg era Beatles, The Kinks and even Scouse Horror! Or as one reviewer put it: Think Motown meets the Clash after a pint with circa 1966 Mick n Keef along the way"They then started running their own club night in Leicester, each one they put on sold out and a real buzz started. After a riotous set at the summer sundae festival, plays on steve lamacq, a manager that goes by the name of Justin, lots of gigs, drinks and songs, they started to receive a lot of industry and A & R attention. Then they wrote this biog…

The band have released three classic albums so far, Puressence, Only Forever and Planet Helpless. Planet Helpless was hailed as the bands greatest, with lead singer James stating that it was, like 15-20 years of all the different facets of Manchester music, the acid house scene, the Roses, the Mondays, even Joy Division all rolled into the present day 2002.
Their brilliance is driven by voice of James Mudrizcki one of the greatest front men Manchester has ever seen.
Now, free from the shackles of that bound them in the form of major record company, the band are ready to release their most inspired offering yet on new Manchester based label Reaction, with the first release being a single entitled "PALISADES".
Massive in Greece their last album reached number 4 in the Greek charts America has recently acknowledged the bands excellence with the groups first US offering (a collection of songs from the bands first three albums) scheduled for a winter release with a tour of Europe, North America and Japan set to coincide.

Monday OCTOBER 8th: CHARLOTTE HATHERLEY + SOMETHING BEGINNING WITH L
8pm - 11pm Advance tickets £7.50
Charlotte was a working rock guitarist even before she left her West London high school. Working towards her A levels during the day, the 15-year old was playing loud, scungy gigs round the London club scene with the proto-riot girl group, Nightnurse.
Aged 17, Charlotte joined Northern Irish rockers Ash, her guitars adding beef to their heavy schedule of live performances. She had two weeks in a rehearsal studio before making her Ash debut at the V97 Festival in front of an audience of 50,000!
Grey Will Fade
In the Summer 2004 when Charlotte commenced an 18 month tour of the world with Ash, her own website 'charlottehatherley.com' was launched with a free download single 'Kim Wilde' to a fantastic response. Her next single 'Summer' was released in the UK in August 2004 and entered the UK national chart at 31.
Charlotte found time to play the headline slot on the Red Marquee stage at Fuji Rock in Japan and play second headline on the Carling Stage at Reading and Leeds festival in the summer of 2005, whilst still touring the world with Ash. In February 2006 Ash and Charlotte parted ways and she is now looking forward to asserting herself as a full time solo artist and hitting the road, starting with a UK tour in February 2007.
The Deep Blue
Charlotte's new album 'The Deep Blue' was written and recorded in Italy in the summer of 2006. The album is produced by Eric Drew Feldman (once part of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band and producer of Frank Black and Deus), Rob Ellis (best known for his work with PJ Harvey) and Charlotte herself, and is mixed by Ben Hillier (Blur, Elbow). The album develops beyond the post-punk melodies of first album 'Grey Will Fade', to a grander, more elaborate sound with influences ranging from Kate Bush to David Bowie to The Flaming Lips. In addition to this ambitious new musical direction, Charlotte has also co-written a remarkable collaboration with one of her musical heroes, XTC's Andy Partridge.
'The Deep Blue' is out on Little Sister Records, set up by Charlotte and her manager Ann-Marie Shields, with distribution by Vital, to make sure the artist has complete creative control.

Saturday OCT 13th: THE CHECKS
7pm - 10pm Advance tickets £6

Blues/Soul rockers from New Zealand..."I watched The Checks erupt like a volcano. I was transfixed. Adrenalin flooded my system so fast my hands started shaking. Other bands shambled; the Checks scorched. Other performers rode oh-so-fashionable bandwagons; The Checks poured petrol over predictable hipster clichés and tossed a match. Other bands scowled and stomped like crabby nippers; The Checks fuelled their performance on pure joy."

Mon OCT 15th: PALLADIUM 8pm 'til 10pm Advance £5
Like your guitar bands to wear skinny jeans, namecheck Gang Of Four and display an air of nonchalance? You're in luck – there's about 352,487 of them out there right now, playing soon at a toilet venue near you. Want a band who'll mess with your preconceptions, challenge everything you ever thought about music and force you into a frenzy of fist-pumping joy down the front row? It's time you met Palladium, then – four guys whose very existence demands you build them a brand new pigeonhole.
Here are some of the facts. Palladium formed last September, acquaintances through grueling tours on the session musician circuit. They make music that is epic, joyful and ludicrous, bringing to mind things that you love, and things that might make you feel rather uneasy: Pink Floyd, The Police, Fleetwood Mac's 'Tango In The Night', Steely Dan, Toto, Stevie Wonder, Hall & Oates and The Who in the early 70's. Better still, they wear some of the oddest clothes on earth: tweed jackets, flowery shirts, dangly earrings, bleached hair and golf visors (yep, all at once). On paper they sound like the worst band on earth, right? But then who ever enjoyed a band on paper?
Palladium consist of Peter, Rufio, Fez and Rocky – four supernaturally talented musicians who look like they got lost in fancy dress cupboard, delivering a barrage of positive vibes. Wasn’t rock’n’roll always supposed to be about breaking the rules?
