Xray Horse 1st Birthday and Acoutic Shave Magazine Launch Party


Xray Horse celebrated its 1st birthday and the launch of The Acoustic Shave magazine with a move to The Harley on 20th February.

The Line up was:

Roman Android
Kicked things off with a tight, up-tempo set showing musical maturity beyond their years. One to watch for the future.

Nephu Huzzband
Mixing punk spirit with a clever art rock style and pounding pace. I didn’t get to see much of the set as I was taking cash and stamping hands on the door! Sorry boys, nice t-shirt though!

Elephant Keys
Formerly The Dodgems, this Sheffield based 3 piece played a confident well rehearsed set of Indie Pop with Tom G switching between keys and strings. Great stuff from a band that doesn’t take themselves too seriously and seemed to enjoy themselves as much as the crowd watching them. Catch them on BBC Radio Sheffield’s Raw Talent show on 16th March.

The Legend of the 7 Black Tentacles
Xray favourites delivered again! As the staff frantically re-set the stage to accommodate the experimental hip hop 8 piece. The crowd gathered with an excited anticipation. From the epic intro to the xray horse dedicated hip hop medley all 8 members were on top form. Simply awesome!

Baron Von Badd
7BT plate spinner returned to play a well mixed selection of hip hop that got people dancing after the bands had finished and set the tone for the remainder of the night.

Decked Out 10th Anniversery


WOW What a night!
Erol Alkan and Xavier De Rosnay (1/2 of Justice) headlining in the main room! simply spectacular, When Erol played Roaxanne by The Police everyone was singing along - even he had stopped the track just before the chorus dropped!

Big shout to Aeroplane for a weird but wonderful set a nice fun tracklist before everybody crammed into the Main room for two of the biggest names in electronica to smash the Coronet

Coronet is a great location, an old theatre that has been converted into a club much in the Koko mould, with two smaller more initmate room above
