"We Love Elvis, We Utterly Love Nirvana"
 : What's Not To Like?


 "Basically we love Elvis," enthuses Danny Cobain, vocalist in Elvana, "and we utterly love Nirvana and we hit upon the idea of combining the two"
Elvana are a local Elvis fronted tribute to Nirvana, they've been playing their trade in Newcastle for 2 years and in that time they've done many awesome shows including headlining the Academy.

 "Some people don’t quite know what to expect at first," explains Danny, when asked about what the crowd thought, "after one song people get it and then they really enjoy it!"

 Elvana's next gig is a bit of an interesting one.  They are playing the Cluny on Saturday 5th of March with Tragedy : A Heavy Metal Tribute to the Bee Gees.

"You can expect to be covered in glitter and not be able to stop smiling for days," promises guitarist Royce from Tragedy, "You may hate disco. You may hate metal. It doesn’t matter. Tragedy will have you hearing music and seeing life in a whole new light."

 Originally set up as a Metal tribute to Bee Gees for a joke for a charity concert, Tragedy have toured the world, including headline shows on the Sophie Lancaster stage at Bloodstock and are regulars to Newcastle - "Old friends can expect even bigger bulges than they remembered."

 They've expanded beyond Bee Gees covers now and their set includes many disco classics including 'It's Raining Men' (which they mash up with Slayer track 'Raining Blood') whilst making Neil Diamond sound like King Diamond on their take of 'Sweet Caroline' and as for their version of 'You're the One that I want'... well... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxD_CAatY-8

 There's a third band on the bill also - an aptly titled The Bill - a tribute to the Police.  Another great local collection as they take on classics from the band of local hero, Sting.

All in all, it's a show that must be seen to be believed.

 Tickets are available from www.seetickets.com priced at £10 plus booking fee. Entry is £13 on the door on the night.

 Advertisment Shambolics KU, Stockton Saturday 13 May 2023 Tickets: https://tinyurl.com/SHAMBOLICSku Stockton’s KU are once again bringing one of the UK’s most exciting new live acts to the region with a show from indie-pop four-piece Shambolics on May 13th. The Alan McGee endorsed band are signed to his Creation23 label and have recently released their latest EP, Take It Or Leave It, while the single of the same name blends Britpop influences with 80s grooves into something to both sing and dance along to. Having only formed in 2017, Shambolics’ debut single, Chasing A Disaster, went straight to number 2 in the UK Official Vinyl Chart and then just before lockdown the band played their biggest show to date, selling out St. Lukes in Glasgow. Then, taking advantage of the enforced break the band relocated to Glasgow and hooked up with producer Chris Marshall. Shambolics’ more recent work is grittier and more honest while maintaining the melodies and upbeat disposition they we

  A Man Called Adam - Legendary North-East Electronic Duo Announce New Album: ‘the Girl With A Hole In Her Heart’ Released Digitally: 26 May 2023 // Vinyl: 21 July via Other Records #ad Amazon Link: https://amzn.to/4230kBK   A MAN CALLED ADAM have announced a brand new album ‘The Girl With A Hole In Her Heart’.   An album about Teesside and the wild coastal and industrial landscapes where the band’s Sally Rodgers grew up, the album will be released digitally on 26 May (via Other Records). The announcement arrives as the duo also share its title-track today.  Their first new album since 2019’s ‘Farmarama’, ‘The Girl With A Hole In Her Heart’ is a Balearic record, though not one that’s inspired by those fabled Iberian sun-kissed beaches that stretch on forever and sunsets that stop you in your tracks. Rather, it’s a House record made for all night dancing in a decommissioned steelwork. It’s an ambient record that strolls a windswept coastline where lime-grass dunes rise and fall like slu

"It Started With A Cracked Screen" Do your research about where NOT to go to get your phone or computer fixed #consumer #tech #mobilephone #repairs

It's just a crack in the screen...... Not my usual kind of blog post. The smartphone has become part of everyday life. For a business like mine it had opened up new avenues to spread the word about my clients as a PR. I found some of these shut suddenly when my phone hurtled to the kitchen floor. Just a cracked screen. I worried the phone may cost a fortune to fix, but got similar quotes from about 3 people and so when one of them called back promising a 48 hr turnaraound, and 6 months warranty, I thought, I could trust the friendly voice of "John" at the other end of the line. The UPS driver arrived within 10 minutes and my phone was in a padded envelope off to Elite Phones And Computers in Manchester. This was a mistake. I hadn't checked the reviews online, something I always do, and warn other when I find the bad ones.  I sent the phone on Friday and on Monday checked on progress, using the on-site messaging service the company prefers to use instead of ema
