Ipswich has never really been a hotbed for live music. Unless, you count Busted and Lemar playing the Regent Theatre (but we wont talk about that)… However, last year, as part of an NME tour taking in towns & cities that were out of the live music radar The Duke Spirit came to town and played an excellent set at the Cock & Pye. Soon after a fortnightly night started out called UPROCK, and over the past year has seen such bands as ¡Forward, Russia!, Bromheads Jacket, New Rhodes, Good Shoes, This Aint Vegas, Redjetson, Charlie Brown, We Start Fires, Love Ends Disaster!, The Fold, Misty’s Big Adventure, Louie, Rosalita, Shut Your Eyes And You’ll Burst Into Flames, Black Wire, The Pigeon Detectives and Jamie T.
You can keep an eye out for whos playing on UPROCKS very own myspace page.
