I went to the Adelphi last night, not been there for about 15 years, good to see it hasn't changed. The first act defied description, but was entertaining none the less. The second band, I think hailed from Lincoln and might of been called The Rise, but don't quote me on that. They were good, producing several anthemic punk tunes, with a particularly good bass line. The main support were a French punk band called "Guerilla Poubelle", now Hull is not well known for it's acceptance of Johnny Foreigner, but the audience embraced them with a very genuine warmth. The band, clearly appreciated this and ripped through a set of excellent Gallic punk rock. Geurilla Poubelle are also the first band I have seen with a resident artist onstage, a bit like Bez with crayons. On to the main act, "Sonic Boom Six", who provided a fantastic, full of energy set. The audience loved them, they loved us, and hopefully they will be back soon. So after all those rubbish bands of the 80's, Manchester finally comes up with a good 'un!

Sounds like you had loads of fun.
Sounds like a ton of fun! Lucky you! I would have enjoyed that show.
Leon Russell is here on Friday, but hubby ain't up for going out what with him starting to teach on MOnday again. He wants to chill.
The boy child and I are going to see BB King in a couple weeks.
Nothing as exciting and rambunctious as your fun!
I have always had a good time at the Adelphi, despite people knocking it all the time, I personally think it's a cool little venue with a bit of character! Glad you had a great time! My french colleage says Poubelle means bin, in french.
Also....my band will be ready to start playing gigs in a matter of weeks, as is the norm for any band in Hull, we will probably play the Adelphi on one of the first gigs, I will let you know when, in case you want to pop along! Our music has been described as sounding at times like NIN, Bob Dylan, Nirvana, Beefheart and Bowie amongst others.
Im glad you had so much fun Bazaa and enjoyed it!
