I first saw The Hoosiers first for MTV Hits Brand Spanking New Music Tour 2 years ago in Bristol. They kicked off the event and pretty much stole the show. They offered something different and having not heard of them before the night started (other than seeing their name on the ticket along with Calvin Harris, Mutya Buena and Natasha Bedingfield) I have since seen them more times than I can count!
From small venues such as The Bristol Carling Academy 2 to the Main Stage at the 2008 Isle Of Wight Festival, I have followed their rise to fame. Even managing to win tickets to see them perform on BBC Radio 2's Music Club at the famous Maida Vale Studios. They have worked extremely hard to get where they are coupled with touring extensively up and down the country night after night means they perfected their craft and put on a fantastic show. I would happily see them again as well as recommend them to anyone who hasn't seen them before! But I doubt there is anyone who hasn't seen them yet considering they have pretty much covered every square inch of the country! [less]
Live Review of

Surprisingly a fair few people were at The Thekla in time to catch thecocknbullkid's support set for CSS. And they were in for a treat!

Event Date: October 14, 2008
Event Venue: The Thekla, Bristol
Surprisingly a fair few people were at The Thekla in time to catch thecocknbullkid's support set for CSS. And they were in for a treat!
I hadn't heard of thecocknbullkid before, but it would appear that some of the early attendees had. Funky and catchy music was what was on offer, and I will be going back for seconds when thecocknbullkid is anywhere near the South West Region. I would urge anyone to listen to thecocknbullkid's music on MySpace. Sadly "Boys And Girls" and "I'm Not Sorry" aren't on there as I write, but "On My Own" and "No Cure" are and they should get you hooked!
thecocknbullkid influences as per their MySpace account include Morrissey, Scissor Sisters, Beyonce and Kelis, and for me that pretty much sums up what I heard in the lyrics and style of music of what I have constantly listened to for over a month now!
I actually didn't manage to catch thecocknbullkid's name when they took to the stage but my lengthy search was well worth the wait! I e-mailed The Thekla to ask them for it, so thanks to them for letting me know, and when I was told of their name, I went on to their MySpace and listened to all of their tracks reliving the previous night.
It was a short set, but very enjoyable, and thecocknbullkid was the perfect starter for the main course of CSS! [less]
