The Airborne Toxic Event - The Airborne Toxic Event(island)
It can't be easy coming up with a name for a band. But surely this Californian
fivepiece could have chosen a moniker that trips off the tongue a little
easier?

performance faded when the band abandoned touring in 1966 and finally split
up in 1970.

There are plenty of Halloween festivities going on in the bars and clubs
across the province over the next few nights, but if dressing up as Dracula
and dancing to the Monster Mash doesn't exactly light up your pumpkin, check
out General Fiasco, one of our most exciting young bands, who have scored a
prestigious headlining slot at Belfast's Ulster Hall tomorrow night.

Bob Dylan - Christmas in the Heart (Columbia) (Rated 2/ 5 )
Saturday, 17 October 2009
Many are the musical atrocities committed in the names of Christmas and
charity; but rarely can they have been as downright weird as Christmas In
The Heart, which slipped out earlier this week with neither fuss nor
fanfare, promotion nor preview – an odd situation for an artist whose last
album topped both British and American charts this year.

Spandau Ballet's Belfast gig is pure Gold
Thursday, 15 October 2009
Was there ever a sillier pop band than Spandau Ballet? That name, those kilts
on TOTP, dodgy songs about the Troubles, they were a byword for glitzy style
over gritty substance. This, of course, made them the perfect Eighties group.
