ohell anagram Welcome to the internet home for Mike TreVelyan and Mad4it - a weekly and sometimes mobile club night.

Here's Cardiff Barfly's upcoming Friday live line-up :- live music returns on Friday 16th January with The Red Stripe Music Award 2009 night and on Friday 23rd January The Huw Stevens Introducing Tour arrives with Sky Larkin + Pulled Apart By Horses

This week's post ...

Franz Ferdinand
Ulyses Remixes
new single 19 January
A fine comeback single accompanied by some tasty remixes, the song removed at 6 minutes we rather like the 'Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve Re-Animation, 114bpm a sound atmosphere setter

The Fray
You Found Me
new single 26 January
The Fray are back and how, an ironic take on the apparent absence of the almighty, vocals pose the omnipresent question "Where were you?". A slow medium 77 & 150bpm - Top 5 I hope

Great Stuff ...

2009 ...
Hope you had a good start to '09.

It was great to hook up with Cardiff DJ legend Jaffa again. Last time I saw him was at the launch of the Cardiff Special Olympics in 2000 where Jaffa (or Jason) was playing a superb set with his Erban Poets hip-hop outfit and I was compering the opening ceremony. One of the Kennedy Clan (yes the JFK clan) Timothy Shriver, President & CEO of Special Olympics Inc was making the welcome speech, kissing babies wasn't in it, he and his bodyguards nearly knocked us off the stage.
