IN BRIEF
- Barfly are a north-west band who in the past year have recorded their
debut album, received Radio 1 airplay and secured high-profile support slots
with established artists such as Longview, Puressence, The Ordinary Boys and
Snow Patrol. (www.barflyonline.co.uk)

- The Tides started off as a sensitive acoustic duo whose early gigs got
compared to the likes of Turin Brakes and David Gray, by the time they'd
expanded into a full band they'd started to have scraps with Mark E Smith of
the Fall. The last few months in Manchester have seen them as one of the
hottest tickets in town playing with the likes of Puressence, The
Chameleon's Mark Burgess and the Inspiral Carpets Tom Hingley.

- The Hussy's are the new band from The Supernatural's James McColl. If you
remember their hits Smile, Day Before Yesteday's Man, I Wasn't Built To Get
Up...then you'll love the Hussy's pop hooks. Fronted by 21yr old ex folk
singer Fifi the band are latest quirky Scottish pop band to follow in the
line of Franz Ferdinand and El Presidente (www.myspace.com/thehussys)

- Jaunty, divergent, eccentric and ever so slightly twisted, The Randoms
formed in Autumn 2003. They are already firm favourites on the Manchester
and Liverpool circuits and in only 12 months have quickly gained a
reputation as the band to provide the soundtrack of a debauched weekend that
doesn't stop 'til Monday! Video for Two Stripe Trainers was partly filmed at
the club made famous by Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights. The Randoms recently
penned the theme for a new comedy series, 'Heroes 4 Hire', due to hit TV
screens next year (www.therandoms.com_
