Inspired by Ernest Hemingway’s famous six word story (“For sale: Baby shoes. Never worn.”) Ol over at coldclimate.co.uk is looking for six word story submissions through a new online app he’s put together. I’ve thrown a couple into the mix, so why don’t you give it a go? http://www.coldclimate.co.uk/6words/

In Dead Miles we have yet another storming young band from the North East, and this photoset was taken at their show with High Rise Diaries last Saturday. It was a great set, and this is definitely be a band I’ll be keeping an eye on.

Take a look at the Dead Miles Myspace for music, tourdates and stuff.

Newcastle’s music scene at the moment is fit to bursting with cracking young bands, but High Rise Diaries have to be one of the best. I had the pleasure of seeing them this evening in The Cluny, the city’s premier small venue. Take a look at some of the pics on my Flickr, and here’s a little sample.
