New Model Army + New York Alcoholic Anxiety Attack @ Mr Kyps, Poole 20th August 2010.
In 1989 when Mr Kyps was still just an old snooker hall, New Model Army in their stripped down form of Red Sky Coven arrived in Poole to play in a pub a hundred metres away from Mr Kyps called the Bricklayers Arms. This was a very special event in the September just after New Model Army had played their triumphant set at the Reading Festival.
Fast forward 21 years and Mr Kyps promoter (and huge NMA fan) Bert Bernell has been working on bringing the band to Poole for a long time. Tonight is the night and Bert seems very excited for them to finally be here. This is an intimate show with the venue packed to the rafters, it is going to be a good night and all the ingredients are in place.

On Sunday 15th August Mr Kyps was bustling as people gathered to pay their respects to their late friend Jasper Stephens. The evening’s entertainment was courtesy of 15 local bands and artists including Voodoo Vegas, Western Sand, Si Genaro, Club Le Shark and The Sabres. The result was an astonishing set of rock covers performed by these musicians in various combinations. You can find out more about the night’s set list, full line up and details in our Preview here.

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.

After unbelievably booking an intimate show at the relatively small venue of Chords in Poole, Madina Lake’s performance here had been in doubt due to the much publicized hospitalization of bass player Matthew Leone. The band decided to continue with the planned shows, including a set at the Sonisphere Festival at Knebworth, with Matthew’s bass parts being recorded before hand and run when the band plays live rather than replacing him with a stand-in.

On Sunday 15th August a community will gather to pay their respects to a much loved friend in the best way they know how – Rock ‘n’ Roll. Mr. Kyps will play host to a very special gig for one Jasper Stephens, who very sadly passed away earlier this year. Jasper had many friends in the local Rock (or as he would call it RAWK) scene and played a very active part, including running the Voodoo Vegas Facebook fan page.
More than eleven local bands will take to the stage in various combinations (think of the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert) to perform some of Jasper’s favourite tracks, including songs from Aerosmith, Metallica, Queen, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Dio, Audioslave and Guns ‘n’ Roses.
