CACOPHONY: British extreme metal band Cradle of Filth, Norwegian black metal group Satyricon, and Greek death metal band Septic Flesh will converge upon the Showbox at the Market tonight for a riotous, maybe-possibly Satanic, soul-chillingly shockerrific celebration of the dark side this evening. Wear your cutest black leather/nose chain combo and hit up that mess; don't forget your ear plugs.

Tuesday 31st, Halloween Night

The Showbox had a fire this morning or last night or however you refer to the 5am hour and there's not a lot of information around right now (c'mon journalist types - we can't stand this suspense). Smoke was spotted coming from the building, sprinkler system engaged, FD arrived and extinguished something on the roof: that's about all that's out there at the moment. A spokesperson for the fire department said the fire originated on the roof and didn't penetrate into the building, but we're worried about water damage to the ceiling, sound system etc. Maybe we'll take a walk over there during lunch and find something new (despite our aversion to actual reporting).

Back in 2003, when Art Brut formed, the British music scene was dominated by power pop outfits like The Libertines, who were better as celebrities than musicians. Today, we have similarly over-hyped bands like The Arctic Monkeys and The Subways, who release albums that NME fawns over for six months until the next big thing comes along.
