EVEN MORE GOOD NEWS!
DiS has FIVE copies of Silver Rocket's quite wonderful double-disc compilation album (review here) to give away to readers. WOW. And what's more, the lucky CD winners will also get GUESTLIST ACCESS to all of the above gigs. So, um, I guess you should probably enter this if you live in London (although you're welcome to enter just for the CD - it's worth it!).

HOW do you win? Easy: just email me (Mike DOT Diver AT Drownedinsound DOT com) with the answer to this question:

WHO PLAYED THE FIRST SILVER ROCKET NIGHT IN JULY 2000?

I'm looking for two bands here (the names of which might just be available on the Silver Rocket website... but I didn't tell you that).

Happy Birthday to Silver Rocket too! Andy from Silver Rocket turns up where ever you go. One day scientist will go to Mars and spot Andy from Silver Rocket wondering round in a old Dinosaur Jr. T-shirt.

Thank you both!

Hey I'm usually there too. Although, not last week at the boat gig to be fair, I was ill (boo). I'm the glamorous one (ha!) with longer hair (this bit is actually true).

Andy from Silver Rocket used to be my Form Tutor/Maths teacher when I was at school. The man is a legend. Nay, a hero.
