BUZZCOCKS (Wulfrun Hall)

Thursday 22nd January 2009 - 7pm

Buzzcocks will perform their first two classic albums Another Music In A Different Kitchen and Love Bites in their entirety + other hits. Buzzcocks' first album, Another Music in a Different Kitchen, was released almost exactly thirty years ago. It is a major punk landmark and a great record to boot. It's full of fire, wit, speed, philosophical lyrics and gender explorations, as well the sly psychedelia that always made Buzzcocks stand out from the pack. Love Bites is the second Buzzcocks recording. It came at a troubled period for the group and the culture that had formed them. After the demise of the Rotten Sex Pistols in January 1978, Punk was seen as over: its original unitary thrust dissipated into movement and countermovement, Power Pop, Post-Punk, Mod Revival. As a front rank punk group, Buzzcocks were in danger of becoming yesterday's future. Or so it seemed. In fact, 1978 was an extraordinary year for the group. They released two albums, five singles - all of them hits, with two in the top twenty - and toured relentlessly. One of those singles, "Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've?)" is now acknowledged as a pop classic. (back to top)

SOULFLY (Wulfrun Hall)

Tuesday 10th February 2009 - 7pm

Soulfly's sixth offering for Roadrunner Records, Conquer, may very well be the musical equivalent of the movie Braveheart. The songs -much like the warriors in the film- channel raw, unbridled rage through a cacophony of thrash guitars, infectious grooves, tribal polyrhythms and Max Cavalera's unmistakable, thunderous roar.

THE TING TINGS (Civic Hall)

Monday 2nd March 2009 - 7pm
It's nothing you'll see on Shameless, but - whisper it - Salford has an artsy underside that is shaping up to be a Northern variant on Warhol's early Factory. Based in a former disused Mill and shrouded by council high-rises, its first breakout stars have emerged. Welcome, if you will, The Ting Tings - the Sonny and Cher of Salford Precinct for the Noughties. The Ting Tings are Jules de Martino and Katie White. They met when she was just out of being a Wigan school-girl and bonded over a shared ambition to rock the foundations of pop music. Together, Jules and Katie have configured a sound that represents the pure heart of British pop. Driven by personality, unstoppable momentum, friendship and the love of great pop music - however stylised it arrives - The Ting Tings learnt to forget the attention to detail that they had slaved over in their previous band Dear Eskiimo and drove their new beast on raw adrenaline. It is littered through their debut album We Started Nothing; snappy choruses trade off against angular guitar work, whipsmart drumming and a succession of loops that they create live with the use of delay pedals. Half redolent of a thrusting girlband schooled at CBGBs and half informed by a post modern desire to break the codes of manufactured pop, their sound is immediately identifiable and purposefully perky.
