LAY OUT THE TRAPS - Since 2005 Lay Out The Traps have been tearing up the rule book and re-writing it punk style whilst playing all over London and grabbing fistfuls of new fans at every show. Fusing furious guitars with passionate lyrics and even the odd ska rhythm, their energy and ethics make them true underground heroes, and they’re doing it on their own terms. www. myspace. com/layoutthetraps
THE SMOKING HEARTS - Dirty energetic punk rock’n’roll from this Bedford band who started with "the aim of becoming a Motley Crue for the 21st century" but ended up sounding like Black Flag meets The Misfits meets The Bronx. www. myspace. com/smokinghearts
3 CHORD CRAIG - A rare solo acoustic set of drinking and protest songs from Moral Dilemma’s front man. www. myspace. com/3chordcraig

I'm only just now starting to work my way through all those pictures I took of you at the (already missed) MRSC.
I geuss I've been putting it off becuase there so many of them, although sometimes the distance of time allows you to make more considered artistic choices, so it's not all bad. ;-)
ahh boo that does suck!!! well as u said our paths will cross perhaps u girls could skate with us one sunday when ur all free? we have a great sized hall that could do with more girls on it! x
Haven't sorted them out yet, as I've been at SGP generating even more photos from that, plus some video footage, which I'm in the process of transferring to this very PC at the moment.
It's a case of when I have the time and patience to plod through several hundred images (I shot about 330 photos in that hour and a half) to select the good ones, but it will get done. ;-)
Book now to avoid disapointment!!! Just drop us a line at leedsrollerdolls@yahoo.co.uk to register your interest and we'll get right back to you withh all the details you'll need. Derby love, LRD xx
THE QUAKES - American psychobilly legends since the 80’s, The Quakes were one of the very first American psychobilly bands and remain an incredible influence on the American psychobilly scene. In 2006 The Quakes celebrated their 20 year anniversary and did a 34 show tour of the USA and then 23 more shows all across Europe and Russia. Although this is the first UK tour for nearly 15 years, The Quakes are no strangers to these shores having played the legendary Klubfoot back in 1988, and even selling-up and moving to London for a while. Their amazing psychobilly and rockabilly sound has earned them legions of fans on both sides of the Atlantic, and this is a rare chance to see such a legendary outfit in an intimate venue. www. myspace. com/thequakes
HENRY & THE BLEEDERS - Formed in 2004 Henry & The Bleeders combine vintage rockabilly with the hard and modern edge of punk rock and also add a little hillbilly and traditional R&B to the mix to result in a sound very much for today. Don’t miss these rockin’ tunes from one of the best young bands on the scene. www. myspace. com/henryandthebleeders
ICH - At last the wait is nearly over! ICH are back. Arguably the finest punk band to come out of East Anglia, they are (finally) headlining the Man on the Moon on Saturday 21st June. Their influences are too numerous to mention (but Crass and Rancid are definitely in there) and mere words can’t describe their live performances. ICH have been known to blow ageing punk bands off the stage and even incited stage diving at their unplugged gigs. At Strawberry fair 2007 they even made hippies look happy! With sharply observed lyrics and a barrage of guitars ICH’s punk anthems will have you punching the air and shouting along ‘til the cider runs out. www. myspace. com/ichcolchesterpunx
