Also in the venue is Party Peoples Party with Munchbreaks Feva and Mister Muz.
Feva is a dj, mc and beatmaker from Birmingham UK. He has been djing for over 10 years but as more and more wackness has infested hiphop he has been forced to step it up and start representing first on the mic and now increasingly with beats as well. He has respect for all mcs who spit from the heart and with the same voice they talk with, all producers who are doing something different and all scratch djs who are not just cut copy cats. Feva lives in Birmingham. He teaches aspiring young criminals how to become aspiring young djs. He drives a leaky squeaky golf. He does not eat pork, beef or tomatoes (unless chopped or pureed). He listens to white people’s music too. He has a sebaceous cist on his head that he is waiting to have removed so that he can shave his hair more easily. He likes sunsets (everyone does). His daughter claims his favourite colour is yellow but it is actually dark blue.
Venue: Bulls Head, 23 St Mary Row, Moseley
Time: 8pm
Cost: £1.50 (Sugarfoot Stomp) FREE bar downstairs

Coming Up ..... Thursday 26th June

Punk_Ska
Back in 2005/6 DJ Adam started off ‘Punk & Ska @ the Gallows’(John Bright St, Birmingham) as a weekly night playing the best in ska, punk and reggae. DJ Adam, shared the decks with the impeccably mannered DJ SMIJ . Together they took over Wednesday nights and soon began putting on shows featuring bands such as Mouthguard, Drongos For Europe, Self inflicted, The Cunts, Vigilante, Kamikaze Sperm, Jessi Eastfield to name but a few. However, in November 2006, something inexplicably terrible happened. Edwards No 8/Gallows fell victim to an arsonist attack rendering the night obsolete.
Things lay dormant until May 2007 when Mark Detrimental (pushed on by the brainpower that is the lovely Mel aka Miss Siren) decided to do what hadn't been done before - restart the night!
Starting at the end of Summer 2007, the new night – ‘PUNK & SKA AT SCRUFFYS’ is now held downstairs at Scruffy Murphys every month.
DJ SMIJ will be playing Punk (everything from OI to Pop), Ska, Rockabilly/Psychobilly, Reggae and if you’re bloody lucky some hip hop. They also like to play small and local bands. And if you want anything played, bring your CDs along.
Venue: Scruffy Murphy’s, Dale End, City Centre
Time: 8pm (approx)
