Sat 3rd Feb at 7.30pmStream Of Passion
Sheffield, The Boardwalk
Stream of Passion is the latest project by musician Arjin Lucassen. This time around Arjin wanted to do something different. For this project each contributing member was located in a different part of the world. Each member contributed their assigned parts via e-mails and online streams until Lucassen put all the pieces together (thus inspiring the band name as well). The outcome is their debut release Embrace the Storm. Once again, Arjin reunites with Mexican vocalist Marcela Bovio, with whom he employed for his last rock opera project, Ayreon. Rock Is Life would like to thank Conrad from the Arjen Lucassen forums for submitting his questions.

Half Man Half Biscuit
The Academy 1, UMU Oxford Rd, Manchester M13 9PR
"A band as savage as they were whimsical, Half Man Half Biscuit provided an unexpected dessert for those British post-punk teenagers who lamented the demise of bands with bite. Nigel Blackwell's inimitable songwriting on the minutiae of life, football and TV celebs quickly garnered cult status, particularly live, where fans could eagerly chant back his wise words."

The Bluetones
Central Station, Hill St. Wrexham. LL11 1SW
This band go from strength to strength and are that rare thing - true musicians in a hyped-up world. They appeared as the Brit-pop thing was waning - which helped in getting their debut album 'Expecting To Fly' the top slot in the UK charts. Musically, they endorse a tight but lithe sound, with a nod towards psychedelia, that falls somewhere between The Stone Roses and Oasis.
