Gig Guide: Thu 6th Aug
Thu 6th Aug 20:00 SKELETONS :: RUGOSA NEVADA :: TOM CAMPBELL
Skeletons were formed from the ashes of a Sheffield band with a fierce reputation for the best live show in the UK. After almost a year in preparation and with just a handful of people lucky enough to witness the elusive 5-piece, Skeletons are now ready to take back that crown. Skeletons wield a staggering blues rock foot stomping sound whilst remaining within the realms of their Sheffield background. Skeletons have a die-hard mentality and an arsenal of songs to match their enigmatic ability. Make sure you catch the first batch of shows this summer… If early indications are anything to go by you will be the one bragging when the band achieve their potential. The band will be appearing at this years prestigious Reading and Leeds festival. They return to the Rockhouse after they supported The Subways there back in June.
Rugosa Nevada are a midlands based four piece, who formed in the spring of 2008. Their blend of influences have ensured the band a fresh sound that is hard to come by and even harder to forget. The band recorded a two track Demo at Dub:Rek studio in August 2008, (which has been requested by fans as far as the USA), before breaking onto the gigging scene in December 2008. Since their live debut late last year, Rugosa Nevada have played a huge number of gigs across Britain.
They have recently recorded their debut EP with Alan Smyth, the critically acclaimed producer (produced Arctic Monkeys; Reverend & The Makers; Pulp and The Long Blondes), in his Sheffield studio at the end of May, with the eventual EP release planned for the end of June.
