For Track of The Week I thought I’d go for something completely different to what people would expect of me and pick a summery Rock/Ska/Reggae track. Ordinarily, Prog and Metal are more my thing, so check me spreading my branches – it’s only the Dusty Cuts with Get Down!

Champions venue has undergone some serious changes since I was last there and all are for the best! The corner stage and the table between the pillars have gone, only to be replaced with a brand new stage at the rear of the venue. This gives more room for punters to see the bands and the bands an easier time for setting up their instruments, as the stage is right next to the dressing room. New sound and lighting system is in effect and with a few minor tweaks will kick ass! This is a major display of intent from the venue to be taken seriously as a genuine contender on the Dorset live music scene. With some major names lined up to play, I can only see this place going from strength to strength.

New Model Army arrive for their first visit to Mr Kyps in Poole this Friday night (20th August 2010). The gig has been slotted as an intimate warm-up show just before the band’s appearance at The Levellers ‘Beautiful Days’ Festival at Escot Park in Devon. New Model Army celebrate their 30th Anniversary this year, which is some major achievement as they have played on many worldwide tours and produced eleven top quality studio albums during that time. Earlier this year they finished a ninety date tour of Europe and America in support of their album Today is a Good Day which critics rated as some of their best work since the infamous Thunder and Consolation.

Brothers Grimmer have their own corner of the local music scene covered. That can only be a good thing, especially when they produce such gems as Who I Am. The production overall combination of sounds gives the track an early-to-mid nineties alt-rock/Grunge wash and the band carry it off well.
