A serial killer a on the loose in Oxford, clever dons, sexy nurses, academic jealousies and an innocent abroad... we're in Morse-land here for this oddly stilted, uneven and pretty unenthralling mystery based around the mathematicians and musicians of Oxford, an Argentine book set in England translated into an English film by a Spanish director. Britfilm denizens such as John Hurt, Anna Massey and Jim Carter supply thespian muscle, while the outsider hero, in the book an Argentine, here becomes American maths student Elijah Wood. |

A welcome gig at Newcastle for the Liverpudlian three piece and a lot of adoring fans lining up outside the Carling Academy for a band that really seem to be going places following the release of hit singles Moving to New York, Dance to Joy Division and Backfire at the Disco. Three tracks that have brought to the limelight a group that, beyond these songs are still fairly unknown. I was very curious to learn more about the guys and with the proof being in the proverbial pudding I grabbed my spoon and went for a bite.
The Tunics are building themselves a bit of a following across the country after playing gigs at numerous universities and colleges. On the back of this tour, they plan to sell their debut album, ‘Somewhere In Somebody's Heart' (set for release on June 2nd for the economically friendly price of £4) within the various local music shops located in the towns they perform.
