Hi there

there's going to be a great gig at the Westport Bar Dundee on Tuesday FEB 3rd:

Tues FEB 3rd DUNDEE Westport Bar
MERCURY TILT SWITCH
+ ALAMOS + WON MISSISSIPPI + HOOKERS GREEN NO.1
First band on 9pm sharp - Don't miss this gig! Entry £4

MERCURY TILT SWITCH
Infectious hooks. Self-destructive tendancies. A mix of chaotic whirlwind guitars and melodies. Have supported Deftones, Hell is for Heroes, 100 Reasons, Biffy Clyro, Mclusky, Aereogramme to name but a few as well as touring all over the UK. www.mtsonline.co.uk

ALAMOS
Think Shellac go disco. Riffs you can dance to! A heavier Franz Ferdinand. Recently seen supporting said band in Dundee as well as Stellastar from the U.S. Arguably the hottest band in Dundee right now with a rapidly growing fanbase. Debut 7" single planned.

WON MISSISSIPPI
Jazz? Proper hardcore? Punk Rock? Berwick's angular guitar heroes arrive with a recent Kerrang KKKK rated album in tow. Find out what the fuss is about. Just don't blame us if they damage your hearing, ok?

HOOKERS GREEN NO.1
With those in the know tipping them for greatness in 2004, surely you've got to witness the guitar weilding art-punk of Hookers Green no.1 - hear gems from the new record currently being recorded. New album was due to come out on fierce panda but now they've found another home for it. You'll be hearing a lot more about them in 2004.

BTW, in case any bands are interested: on the MTS msgboard I've added a forum with a large list of Scottish & UK promoters as well as zines. Its a handy resource for bands who may wanna check it out.

cheers.

sounds cool......ill try my best to be there

petpiranha · 20th January 2004, 01:21 AM

That would be good thanks. I've been trying to get both WM + HG to Dundee for ages. Hookers Green are one of the most tipped Scottish bands in London circles for 2004, Drownedinsound.com ran a piece on them recently and the band should have a new record out soon. WM have recently remastered and re-released their album which Kerrang gave the thumbs up to but they're better live imo and worth seeing. And I gather a few folk on this board may have seen Alamos supporting Franz Ferdinand and/or Stellastar. So it should be a fun night for all.

Cool, probably try and get down to this one. week before my exams but should be alright. havent seen alamos yet, it's ex members of yardstick by the way anyone who didnt know.

Ewan_C · 20th January 2004, 12:37 PM

petpiranha · 22nd January 2004, 11:58 PM

I saw stellastar's video for one of their singles on mtv2 the other day. If it's for a new song then I liked their previous single better. Even if it sounded a lot like the Pixies. But I guess being from NYC helps

gav · 2nd February 2004, 11:21 PM

"WON MISSISSIPPI - Proper hardcore?"
