ClaireFu Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 :: KOPPARBERG COLLECTIVE PRESENTS THE ADS / THE MOTH & THE MIRROR / THE LITTLE KICKS / MARTIN JAY / SNAFU / WEDNESDAY 25TH JUNE / 8PM-2AM / FREE WITH KOPPARBERG CARD / 3 WITHOUT ::DOORS20:00THE LITTLE KICKS 21:00-21:30THE MOTH & THE MIRROR 21:45-22:15THE ADS 22:30-23:00For this June, July and August only - Kopparberg (Premium Swedish Cider) brings you the Kopparberg Collective, a series of gigs and clubnights that celebrate and promote the brands quest to highlight uncomplicated music. Kopparberg are giving everyone over the age of 18 free entry to each of the nights by signing up for the Kopparberg Collective Card. All you need to do is sign up at the door at Snafu, and your card will be presented straight away. First night kicks off with this nice little line-up on Wednesday 25th June:THE ADS (single launch - "Say That It's Summer")THE ADSThe Ads' explosive live shows are creating an extraordinary buzz around Scotland. The band kicked off 2007 by selling out King Tut's and the management team that steered Snow Patrol and Futureheads to success has since snapped them up. Cracking songs like "Mess" or "Maybe Tonight" sound like this fiesty four-piece have kidnapped The Buzzcocks' kitchen sink dramas and forcibly cojoined them with the raucous laddishness of the Small Faces. Gonnabees? Huge! You'll be chanting along with "Say That It's Summer" in minutes.THE MOTH & THE MIRROR(single launch - "Soft Insides")THE MOTH & THE MIRRORThe Moth & The Mirror are a collection of people that have been stolen from other bands including Make Model, Brother Louis Collective, The Reindeer Section and Arab Strap. " A cross between Nick Cave and Bjork", said one newspaperman describing The Moth & The Mirror's particular brand of glock rock. "Soft Insides" was produced by Tony Doogan, also responsible for the production of the likes of Mogwai, Belle & Sebastian and The Reindeer Section to name but a few.THE LITTLE KICKSTHE LITTLE KICKSLocal heroes - The Little Kicks make a welcome return to the Snafu stage. Having been making waves in Scotland for the last year, plus supporting high profile bands they have that adaptable sound that can be rocked up a notch or doped down nice and slow. Lead singer Steven Milne has a raw honesty in his voice, that belies the strength of the band, but that's why it's so appealing, you can tell The Little Kicks can properly rock out when given the chance on stage. They've supported The Kooks, Mystery Jets, Editors, The Rakes, Dogs, Maximo Park, Editors, The Sunshine Underground, Brakes, Maccabees, Errors, Ed Harcourt, Electric Soft Parade, Morning Runner, The Rumblestrips and Jamie T; have played T in The Park; and in 2005 they won the Lee Sounds Scottish final and a Radio 1 Demo Derby in 2006.Kopparberg Collective Part TwoThursday 17th July - Kobai / Juno / Justin MartinKopparberg Collective Part ThreeThursday 14th August - The Draymin / Right Hand LeftDIRTY HEARTS CLUBKOPPARBERG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeanette Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 The Ads are not bad either. I saw them in Tunnels with 11 other people! Haha. I suppose it was unfortunate that Foals were playing Moshulu that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
