modern life is rubbish launch night, line-up announcement ~ wednesday 21st may

It seems fitting that this websites 100th article should revolve around our biggest and most exciting development to date. As you probably know, we have been asked to run our own gig night in the famous Pavilion Bar, on the Ormeau Road in Belfast. Our launch night is Wednesday the 21st of May (next week ~ doors 9pm /£5 in) ~ and today we can finally reveal our debut line-up...

Opening the show is an artist who we first covered after the release of his stunning 'Blood' EP. A UK tour followed and as such the reputation of His New Atlas has grown deservedly as a result. With haunting tales of pain and heartbreak, the singer/songwriter's emotive delivery has blown many an audience away - we had the privilege of catching him live at Hidden Machine in Voodoo and knew there and then he had to play our launch. Get down early, you'll not want to miss this.

Second on the bill come a young two piece playing their first gig under a brand new moniker. 'Frank&Beans' launch into every gig as if it's their last, with a sonic bombardment of 'shoe gaze, thunder art punk' that has to be experienced to be truly understood. Cutting their teeth in the hugely promising 'Shark Week' and more recently 'Space Biters', this is a brand new start for a band of intense talent.

Finally, headlining come a band who need little introduction. Beloved by the people of Belfast and fresh from the release of their latest EP 'Get Down Before I Pull You Down', it's one of the countries best bands - The Late Twos.
