looking for a band

I have one free night in Manchester, England in a couple of weeks - 1st September. I'm desperately looking for a band to see....

here's who I'm just going to miss.......

August
Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes) on the 28th

September
Gomez on the 4th
The Animals on the 7th
Stevie Wonder on the 9th
Stray Cats on the 11th
Sun Kil Moon on the 11th
Travis on the 28th

what can I say?????

the best I've found so far is this...

DRAGONFORCE (metal)  |
Manchester Academy 1 - 26th September
Technically proficient British metal act, Dragonforce, have been selling out arena's across the country despite never having a UK Top 40 album. They stand out from the pack with their relentlessly brutal attack of metal and melodies, with vocals reminiscent of a 1980's perm-metal act. Offering a nice middle ground between soft rock and death metal, this is swords and sorcery power metal at its best!

Is this as good as it gets?????? will I have to get a perm and leather jacket???

stay tuned!

I could go on... and list Nickelback (...), Robert Forster (!), The Moody Blues (!~!)

Emmylou Harris will be in Glasgow when I'm there though...
