Ear to the Ground Gig Preview - Plaza, Lord Swans, Michael Gallagher

17th April. Busy? You are now.

Ear to the Ground is back, bringing you another spectacular night of music at TSOne Middlesbrough.
Kicking the night off at 9pm is Michael Gallagher, a singer/songwriter from Hartlepool . Next up is Newcastle/Whitburn indie group Lord Swans. The group have been notoriously busy since earning a slot on last year's Evo Emerging. As well as getting their song 'Tracks' played on BBC Introducing and appearing on Bay TV Aberystwyth, the band are due to play at venues including The Sage and the newly refurbished Jumping Jacks.
Headlining the night is the superb Plaza. After releasing their new single 'Totem' in February and finishing their UK Tour with Trash in early, the band are set to deliver a killer set.

And one last (very rock and roll) thing - FREE ENTRY + DOORS 8PM

They engaged more with the audience and came out of their shells - it was like watching a completely different band. They need to scrap the first section of their set and focus on creating songs like the last two. Up next was local group Paradas . Their front man had a dreamy rock tone, akin to Kings of Leon's Caleb Followill, with an admirable vocal range. His lilting vocals complimented the gritty classic rock inspired riffs, giving their sound a rich depth. Occasionally their riffs were a bit repetitive, so it'd be interesting to see some ...
