Humbucker presents The Bad Pennies + Davee Mach + Burning Thirteen + When Autumn Falls
The Bad Pennies:
Born from the ashes of 2 of the most successful bands to hail from the Derbyshire hills the most anticipated new band of 2008, featuring members of the Written Apology and Polite Notice, THE BAD PENNIES. A funky combination of 70s classic rock and new age experimental prog.
Davee Mach:
In the dark corner of a back alley pub, two long time pissheads, overcome by succession of alcoholic beverages stumbled upon the brilliant idea to resurrect grimey ’70s rock. Thus formed Davee Mach, named after an Irish trucker. Originally named "The Greasy Dildos", but the name would not stick. A thuggish moody 3 piece, powered by heavy riffs, wannabe daydreams, and large quantities of alcomohol, and so it begins.... Due to different artistic opinions it s was..ok we’ll be honest, our lead singer is "bone idol", (that’s not a bad billy idol tribute band) he’s just a lazy git, and wanted another guitarist to relive the pressure of his "2 whole jobs" in the band, and so along popped luke, who’s last name I cant remember, so for now, we’ll call him luke "skunky". After a moment of maddness we found out skunky could play drums "well", and since has had a cushy sit down job,.. that’s right 2 lazy 70’s style rockers and an arsenal of rock n’ roll triumph’s, ...its just a shame were so laid back were horizontal! A short time after this, that oh so common idea of gigin’ came into play, at which point our first bassist quit and the drugged up sex toy of a weird blonde bimbo,.. whom was befriended to a ginger love crazed, ac/dc obsessed rocker who was knocking boots with the lead singer decided to take the bass up, and play the whole gig.... without even knowing the songs,.. To turn this hafty rock n’ roll band into the 8th wonder of the world, we then stuck luke on geeetar, and brought in the 4th person stupid enough to befriend us, dan.."TAMPAX DAN" a double bass kicking, hobit looking, ego maniac with the charm and good grace of a rhino in heat. NOW WHOM DARE TRY AND STOP US ... seriously,.. no one try , were loverly really
When Autumn Falls:
The band started back in early 2004 after various name changes, band line-ups and styles we each grew into our own and fell upon what is now When Autumn Falls. The current line-up has stuck since January 2006 and has never been stronger since Ryan took to the stage.
We take influences from bands such as Thrice, Alexisonfire, Scary Kids Scaring Kids and Taking Back Sunday to name just a few. Live we blend a sound of raw energy and power with a presence to match.
Venue: The Sound Bar, Corporation Street, City Centre, Opposite Aston Uni
Time: 8pm
Cost: £4 / £3 NUS

Acoustic Brew presents Ivan Campo + Blue Radio, Bernard Payne + One Sixth of Tommy
Ivan Campo: (from his myspace)
Ivan Campo, the super Spaniard with the big hair, shares his name - with a nu-folk ensemble who will take you on a journey through the mysteries of their minds. Hitchcock and The Beatles’ White Album are just some of Ivan Campo’s preoccupations. Characterised by a playful suspense, their songs are as likely to be about the unsolved death of Alexander Litvinenko as they are about love and loss. Based in the Northwest of England, Ivan Campo produce interweaving melodies combined with a musical unpredictability influenced by artists as varied as Devendra Banhart, Nick Harper and Arcade Fire. The effect is a unique style infused with echoes of films, snatched memories and a healthy sense of the absurd. Playing live regularly, Ivan Campo have been spotted in pubs, clubs, venues, kitchens, festivals, ballrooms & basements, all over the UK, & have shared stages with Marrisa Nadler, Thomas Denver Jonsson, Jeff Lewis, Misty's Big Adventure, Jay Jay Pistolet, Dufus, The Courteeners, Jim Noir, Shack, & The Pale Fountains. Their first song, Bandit (visit ivancampo.net), was produced in 2003, and they have since recorded 9 seven track E.P's. Meanwhile, their self-directed videos echo the gentle yet unexpected pace of their sounds.
“A unique and mildly unsettling sound, like David Lynch circa Blue Velvet. Can't recommend them enough!” Yorkie - Space
"they are pretty good in a refined, literary kind of way." Simon Hattenstone - The Guardian
"Mixing a strong sense of the traditional singer-songwriter genre, this three-piece made their audience feel a little like we had just stumbled into the best jam session ever." Meg - manchestermusic.co.uk
Venue: The Island Bar, Smallbrook, Queensway, City Centre
