Brian's favourite video this week is Eyes Of Steel by Déjà Vegawhich sees the band hitting new heights of alt rock glory. Filmed by Shari Denson and Stuart Hadfield. Déjà Vega consist of vocalist and guitarist Jack Fearon, drummer Tom Webster and bassist Michael Newton. After forming in Cheshire, they made the short journey to Manchester, a fitting backdrop to their gritty, guitar led psychedelia, with its red-brick and cobbled streets which has very much ingrained itself in their soundscape.
Ralph's been following the exploits of The 2ube Liverpool with great interest of late. Their live online shows from the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts in the lead up to an online festival on April 13th have been excellent, and now they're teaming up with Bay TV to bring a weekly show of highlights plus live footage. In the spirit of the iconic eighties Channel 4 television show, The 2ube Live and Bay TV are taking two hours of brand new music into the homes of over 380,000 viewers in the north-west of England. This unique proposition places new music at the top of its agenda, with The 2ube highlighting the diversity and talent of the UK music scene, showcasing some of the hottest breakthrough acts and featuring interviews and exclusive performances from special guests, with the next show scheduled for Friday March 18th.
