The Bluetones
The Picturedrome, Holmfirth venue info
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.

Kelly Stoltz
The Boardwalk, Sheffield venue info
San Francisco’s Kelley Stoltz is a DIY, can-do kind of guy. A psychedelic troubadour that records everything on an old eight track, plays most all the instruments himself and even paints his album covers individually. The story goes that Detroit-born Stoltz went to New York to work for Jeff Buckley before acting on his desire to be a musician in his own right. He went west and was bumming around the Bay City, playing shows and hawking a small vinyl pressing of his latest LP Antique Glow. But it wasn’t before meeting ex-Green on Red honcho Chuck Prophet at a gay biker bar that things started happening. Prophet advised of sympathetic ears in Australia and we have the unlikely situation of a Melbourne label giving a leg up to an American artist. Stoltz’s debut The Past Was Faster had modest aims with modest results but the follow up Antique Glow is a quantum leap forward. There’s no question it evokes ghosts of yesteryear but, for the most part, Stoltz successfully applies his own fingerprint to make a new colour.
