“Thank you, goodnight” – announced Rosary‘s singer as we walked through the door. Gutted! What are bands doing playing this early!? I had seen them a couple of years ago under the guise of Y Cer, and they do possess a quality that all of tonight’s band have, making this a very strong line up. Of their set, Gav Malone said, ‘The night was really good, with a really good vibe with a room full, which doesn’t always happen at Rascals. We were very pleased with our set which opened the night, and received some really great feedback from a new crowd for us.’

Holyhead psychedelic-grunge band Holy Coves announced last night that they have split. It came after the second night of an 11 date tour in Burton-on-Trent.
Their facebook page said, ‘Would like to thank everyone who has supported us. It’s been a good ride but it’s over now. Our album will be available for free next month. We will post all the details up as soon as they are finalized. Thanks again people. R.I.P Holy Coves XXXX.’
The started in Spring 2009 when Scott Marsden and Jimmy Eggleston of The Lizzies were joined by Ash Garden and former Wendykurk guitarist Ben Lee. (website)

UPDATE (04.11.2011) – Holy Coves announce… ‘We haven’t split…’
Look forward to the reunion tour.. ;-)
When I asked if it was simply a publicity stunt, Scott Marsden explains, ‘Not at all. We had been in some meetings with a couple of labels & management to talk about releasing our record. Ended up falling out with half of our management that wanted us to take this ridiculous deal. It was a total piss take and at the end of the day we didn’t think they where right for us so we didn’t take it. Caused a few arguments and we just felt really pissed off with it all.  We just changed our battle plan slightly and realized we are on a different page to some of the people that have been around us. It’s for the best. There was never any issue with band members. All is cool.’
