Ben Folds Five - Ben Folds plays a piano. Dave went and asked him why? As you do.

Tiger - Here starts Nathan's Brat Bus report where he goes and talks to some of the bands on the tour. Tiger are known for their mullet haircuts and their distinctive take on guitar pop, so Nathan talks to them about cereal.

Geneva - One of the brightest hopes for this year, Geneva have been lumped into the 'new-seriousness' movement following Radiohead, Subcircus and Placebo. However, Nathan talked to them about football.

Symposium - If you haven't heard of them it's because they're dead young and have only just got signed. However, Nathan informs us that they are going to be huge, so he talked to them about Andrew Lloyd Webber. Well, at least he got that one right.

Radar Bros. - Ben talks to the Radar Bros. But ARE THEY BROTHERS?

Accept No Imitations - Tim gets stuck into tribute bands. The bane of a civilised society, the scourge of the intelligensia and a right rip off if you ask us.
