Mudhoney (Sub Pop), a grunge band formed in Seattle in 1988 from the remains of Green River, is made up of vocalist Mark Arm, drummer Dan Peters, guitarist Steve Turner and bassist Guy Maddison. Mudhoney’s early releases – the ‘Touch me I’m Sick’ single and the ‘Superfuzz Bigmuff’ EP were very influential in the Seattle music scene and helped inspire the dirty, high distortion sound that would later characterize grunge. Although nearly calling it a day in 2001, Mudhoney have remained together for over twenty years and have recorded and released eight albums. Support comes from Sub-Pops Unnatural Helpers.

Few bands can be credited with creating a legacy, however, legendary New York based extreme metal outfit Suffocation have done just that. For 20 years now Suffocation have been creating music that has become the very standard by which we judge all things extreme.

 

Skool Disco at Limelight runs 2nd Thursday of every month. The monthly mix of 'behind the bike sheds-based shenanigans' launched on St Valentine's Night in 2002 and has since become one of Belfast's most popular midweek club nights. The mix of music, ranging from 70s and 80s cheesy pop and disco, 90s old skool rave anthems and the best dance floor anthems from the past 10 years, is provided by head boys Dave and Pat (the oldest schoolboys in town who find themselves being kept back in 6th form for yet another year!). Skool Disco has recently adopted 2010's phenomenal comedy/drama smash hit TV series Glee as a monthly theme, encouraging clubbers to dress as their favourite 'jock' or 'geek' character from the show, as well as playing out cast-versions of some of the show's big numbers, including 'Don't Stop Believin', 'Gold Digger' and 'Take A Bow'. Regulars will be familiar with the club's traditions, such as the ever-growing conga line, snaking throughout the club whenever Paul Simon's Call Me Al is played, Rock The Boat, the Rocky theme tune and the blur of glow sticks which accompanies Scooter's Logical Song. Other attractions include the Drumstick lollies and jelly snakes from the tuck shop, cartoon visuals and the ever-popular drinks promotions. 10pm - 2am Admission £4 (£3 in uniform)

After the release of the 'Simple Science' E.P, their first new recording in six years, The Get Up Kids are back out on tour. The Get Up Kids are an American indie rock band from Kansas City. Formed in 1995, the band was a major player in the mid-90's emo scene. As they gained prominence, they began touring with bands such as Green Day and Weezer before becoming headliners themselves, eventually embarking on international tours of Japan and Europe. They founded Heroes & Villains Records, an imprint of the successful indie rock label Vagrant Records. While the imprint was started to release albums by The Get Up Kids, it served as a launching pad for several side-projects such as The New Amsterdams and Reggie and the Full Effect. However, like many early emo bands, The Get Up Kids sought to dissociate themselves with the term, as it was considered dismissive to be seen as an "emo band". Due to some internal conflicts, the band broke up in 2005. Having been cited as a major inspiration by the likes of Fall Out Boy and Blink 182 amongst others, in 2008 the band announced a 2009 reunion tour to support the tenth anniversary re-release of Something to Write Home About, their most successful studio album.

 

As both a virtuoso guitarist and an Irishman (Hailing from near Belfast, Northern Ireland) comparisons are often made with Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore, though he sounds like neither in particular. Simon first started playing at age 10 and (self taught) entered and won Guitarist Magazine's Young Guitarist of the Year competition when he was 15. He was immediately recruited by Sweet Savage (Vivian Campbell/Def Leppard) with whom he recorded two albums and regularly played major festivals. That was 13 years ago, since then he has toured the world as guitarist for diverse acts including Grammy nominated soulman Andrew Strong. Along the way he has played with artists like TM Stevens, Charlie Morgan, Zorro, Hugh Burns, Slash and Steve Lukather. He has demonstrated for Marshall amplifiers and Paul Reed Smith Guitars (PRS) and is endorsed by PRS and Hughes & Kettner amplifiers.
