ATD pictured last night at Cardiff Barfly performing the crowd-storming ode to capitalism 'Bankers' errr sung 'W**kers'!
Akira has a warm th to his live show using his natural charm to help get ove his message. a somewhat ramshackle and shambolic experience is something everyone can join in with and enjoy the joke. (19 May)

Appetite For Construction -
Something In Construction Records Sampler
This brilliant new record label have in their first fifteen months assembled quite a rosta of talent and here on show ten fine new acts. Akira The Don is immediately attention grabbing, see for yourself when he plays Cardiff Barfly on Thursday 18th May ... the superb single 'Clones' received loads of airplay and 'Bankers' (NOT ... substitute W for B and you'll get the picture) is a forcefull denigration of our money abnd greed fuelled world with all it's political deceits, much of Akira's website www.akirathedon.com seems frivoulous (see pics of ATD at work below) but there's serious pooints made here. Then there's The Silent League and 'Kings & Queens' which rather whets your appetite for their second album. Christian Silva - a Queen/Super Furry Animals crossover, Melbourne group Damn Arms, from New York City there's Kid Cassanova, San Francisco's Every Move A Picture, 69 Corps, Lazarus, Other Passengers and more Akira with Cardiff based Brave Captain. Plenty to get into here - a fine collection of new talent. XXXX

Interesting and catchy, Track 2 'Liverpool' has been remixed by Keith Tenniswood - Andy Weatherall's production partner, and Whitey now known as Scott Free provieds a Clones Remix. XXXx
