Live at The Tube 24.06.09

This week we have another great line up for you.

Puzzle are an excellent band with brilliant songs. They are great players and the songs are full of catchy melodies. They've played for us before but we haven't seen them for at least 3 months so it's great to have them back.

Hooos are also back again as well, this band keep getting better and better. The songs and performances are very engaging and quite unlike other bands.

We are pleased to welcome for their first show Mad Stone Bunny. They've got and early 90's vibe about them and were very keen to see what they can do.

Live At The Tube 10.06.09

This week we've got The Standards for you. They just came back from a very succesful show in Malaysia for KOKOASIA. By all accounts they killed it over there. The band have got great songs and their shows are electrifying, makes sure you see them.

Zero Hero come back for another show, they are starting to pick up a lot of fans at the moment and are rumored to have a new CD coming in the next few months.

We also have Caramel Camel playing, we're told that this is going to be their last ever show :(

If you haven't seen them before make sure you do now, they have a sound that is unique to them...... We wish them all the best for the future.

June 3rd Update!!! Xavier Cancel !!

XAVIER have had to cancel due to their bass player being involved in a car accident. Mind The Gap wish him a speedy recovery.

Revenge Of The Cybermen are stepping in to replace Xavier, we are sure they will not dissapoint. Don't forget Art Floor and Class A Cigarettes and we still have a kicking line up. 

The bands start at about 10pm,  see you later!

Live at The Tube June 3rd

We've just come back from a very succesful campus tour with Abuse The Youth.

The band played in Ubon Ratcathanee, Sisikaet, Surin and Udon Thani. Also on the tour were Art Floor and we thought it would be great if they would play at Mind The Gap. Art Floor have recently had a hit single and their sound is quite melodic but boosted with soaring guitar solos with more than a nod to Radiohead.

We pleased to welcome back Xavier who really impressed us with their show a few months back at The Tube. Great songs with a very stylish delivery.

Also it's great to have Class A Cigarettes back at the Tube again...Think Sonic Youth and Velvet Underground.

The Tube has recently expanded the seating and indoor area which is working well. Not forgetting the amazing food and cheap drinks, where else would you go on a Wednesday night......

Live At The Tube May 20th

Zero Hero are back at Mind The Gap. These guys always give us a great show, their songs and sound set them apart from all the regular bands out there. Their shows always hit hard and I'm sure we will see a lot of people out to see them.

We also have Stubborn playing their first show for Mind The Gap. The band are based in Bangkok and used to be songwriters for Butterfly Records, they decided that they wanted to start their own band with a more upfront rockier sound and the result is Stubborn.

Sunday Morning Call played one of their first shows with us when we were at Noriegas in Silom. They have quite a lot of brit pop influences, lets see how they've progressed since last time.

Live at The Tube May 13th

This week we bring back the excellent Papers who joined us on our recent

trip to Singapore. The band are often compared to Radiohead but I don't think that really

does them justice. The last time they played for us they put in an amazing performance, I imagine we can expect the same again.

Next up are Hooos, they also played recently for us and everyone enjoyed the show. W e don't normally bring bands back so quickly but we reckon this is a band to watch. They tell us they've been writing new songs so can't wait to hear them!

Finally we have The Why Oh Oh. This band have been around for a few years and are very much in the vein of The Strokes. You can expect sharp snappy sounds and skinny jeans....

Live At The Tube May 6th

Tabasco are back to play Mind The Gap again after a succesful series of shows in Singapore.

They are currently in the studio recording new material for the forthcoming debut album.

Next up is Le Fur. We've been trying to get these guys to play for the last six months but they've always been making excuses that they are busy with stuff. Finally we have them! Theyt recentky played at Club Culture supporting Gene Kasadit's ne w band amongst others.

We also welcome back those irrepresable japanese art rockers Cosmoz.

We're getting quite busy every Wednesday night now and seating at the Tube Bar is almost all gone by 9pm....so get down early!!!

Thanks to everybody who came to the last show.

BRILLIANT performances by Plot, Catfight and Abuse The Youth.

This week we have another stellar line up with an international flavour as well.

Sibling Rivalry are from South Africa but have been resident in Bangkok for the last few months, they make the Mind The Gap debut this week. 

You may have seen them playing the bars around Ekkamai and Thong Lo. If you haven't, they play a powerful combination of Rock and Ska excellent adrenalin charged performances.

The Standards make a welcome return, giving you a wholesome chunk of Brit-Thai goodness! If you haven't seen this band....what's your excuse!

We also have Xavier who play The Tube for the first time....think Post Punk, New Wave...excellent!

Mind The Gap is back this Wedneday April 22nd.

Expect great DJ's as well as the excellent bands, brilliant drinks and delicious food...

Live At The Tube April 8th

Last weeks show lacked the vibe for some reason, but I think this week we will be back on track.

Class A Cigarettes are back again, they have a new drummer, so will be interesting if they can keep up the intensity they've been displaying recently. 

Bone Clone is DJ Spikensteins band , they've been getting their sound together for the last couple of months and are soon to go in to the studio to cut some demos. I heard them a few months back and they were sounding good...let's see if they will be sounding better?

Finally we have Hooos, I saw them play at the Livehouse last week and was impressed, the performance was a bit shaky(their first show I think) but there is something very cool about the band......make sure you check them out.

In addition to the bands we have our friends from Pai's uber cool Rock 'n' Roll Disco djing, so there is no excuse not to be here!

Live at The Tube Wednesday April 1st

Revenge of the Cybermen return to The Tube after their stunning set supporting Battles at Club Culture. Bulleteen also come back to rock it again, their sound is very Manic Street Preachers meets Muse. Finally we have Sending Pop who make their Mind The Gap debut at The Tube... real pop/rock sound!

Mind The Gap @ The Tube Wednesday 25th March

After taking last week off due to the Battles show, we return to The Tube Bar for another Mind The Gap show.

This week we have The Standards playing for the first time. Their sound has been called Brit-Pop but I think they have moved into much rockier territory recently, make sure you check them out. Tabasco are back after a brilliant performance at the Pattaya Music Festival and Zero Hero will be the opening act.

Our good friends Cosmoz are putting on this show at the wonderfully groovy White Out bar in Coco Walk right by Ratchetewi BTS. There are 4 or 5 or maybe 6 bands playing....not sure of the final line up..... There is no entry fee....so there are no excuses!
