Thurs 5th June at 7.30pm
Atilla The Stockbroker + Joseph Porter
Sheffield, The Boardwalk
Sharp tongued, high energy, social surrealist, rebel poet and songwriter. His themes are topical, his words hard hitting, his politics unashamedly radical but Attila will make you roar with laughter as well as seethe with anger. Inspired by the spirit and " DIY " ethos of punk rock, and above all by The Clash, he started out as a punk bass player in 1977. He's done a couple of John Peel sessions and celebrated the 25th anniversary of his first gig with a sellout show at the Komedia in Brighton in 2005. He's performed solo, and with his band Barnstormer, at literary and music festivals all over the world and has written for many publications including The Independent, Time Out, NME and The Guardian. He's a regular on TV and radio.

Support from Blyth Power's Joseph Porter. The punk/folk band frontman joing us for a rare acoustic session.

Thurs 12th June 7.30pm
Cage The Elephant
Sheffield, The Boardwalk
Bowling Green, Kentucky is a small town in the American south. It’s best known for manufacturing Chevrolet Corvettes and Fruit Of The Loom underwear. Soon, it’s going to be best known for manufacturing thunderously sexy rock’n’roll. And with that, the next great American rock band. Meet Cage The Elephant: they’re coming your way.

You probably want to know why they’re called Cage The Elephant. In Indian philosophies, the elephant is a symbol of strength and goodness. The Hindu god of wisdom, Ganesh, has an elephant’s head. “It’s strong and it’s honest and it’s loyal. And our name kind of stands for people, the whole of society, the people we all are by nature – it seems like people want to cage the elephant. It seems like they want to cage all the good in the world. It’s not just the government or the media, it’s everywhere. But you turn on the news and hear ‘today 26 people got gunned down, and one guy got his head chopped off, and here’s a picture of it. It’s like there’s no hope, and somebody’s caged the elephant. But you can’t do that.”
