FREE ENTRY, 7pm till 2am, Indie, Alternative, Soul, Rock, Punk. The Quay, Blyth THE MOSAICS (Newcastle) www.myspace.com/mosaicmusic1 The debut E.P 'Runner' was released in December 2005 with critical acclaim from features on North East radio stations Metro and BBC Newcastle. They were selected from a record number of national entries for the 2006 Jack Daniels Unsigned Set, held in London, and came out winners in the event ahead of top unsigned bands from around the UK. Word is definitely spreading fast.....THE PROOF (Newcastle) www.myspace.com/theproof05 the proof come from the strong tradition of British social realism, of the kind embodied in Sixties black and white films by the brooding presence of an Alan Bates or Albert Finney, as their frustrated and, always, Northern characters wrestled with an overpowering sense of misanthropy in a world of scant opportunity and snatched furtive sex, usually resulting in unwanted pregnancy and backstreet abortion. Actually, despite coming from Newcastle upon Tyne, the proof do not sing about any of these things – except perhaps the furtive sex. And they certainly don't consciously hark back to the past in the sepia tones of, say, the Smiths. But, there at the centre of these tightly-wound songs are biting contemporary takes on familiar feelings of being stuck in a small town and desperately needing to find some energy and sense of relief, just to stay alive….Party Animals who love Indie/Rock/Punk/Alt/Soul/Funk, must like live bands, camping and having fun!
