The Academy rocks!


IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE
Basingstoke, Hampshire UK
10th June 2007


The Academy rocks!

Following the success of recent rock shows at The Academy Basingstoke with bands such as “Never The Bride” who will perform at Glastonbury this year, a further rock concert, albeit a lighter middle-of-the-road style of music, is being held on Saturday 14th July 2007 at the Worting Road live music venue.

The “Sock Monkeys” are a 5-piece band of experienced musicians who got together because they love playing great rock music, past and present. They have evolved over the last couple of years into a tight, professional-sounding unit covering a range of classic and contemporary rock and pop songs with the energy of the originals, and something of their own passion thrown in!

Their support band are “Stealers Bluff” and the show starts at 8pm with DJ Ivan Axford taking the night through to 2am with his ever-popular disco and customer requests. Admission is £3 on the door, over 18’s only.

Full details of this and other original artists appearing in 2007 at the Academy live music venue, alongside their popular tribute band shows, are available on the venue’s website (http://www.academyclubs.com/) which is updated regularly.
