Which just goes to make Underpass' one-year anniversary this Saturday night all the more special.

Ten bands have signed up for the monster show. Here's who will going with the birthday flow... and when.

Techno Sapien (4.15pm) are a loud, hard and innovative gaggle who are about the rock, but know how to dance too, if you take the meaning. They want to appeal to you all, and might just pull it off.

Sympathy State (5pm) will slice at you with that oh-so-sharp rhythm section of theirs and a Brit-indie outlook.

Firetone, of course, took the title at the City Nights/Pitz Band Blitz competition in '07, under their previous moniker Auroras Shadow. A tasty concoction of the alt and the rock that Matt Bellamy would nod his approval of.

Now we've yet to see Lion Sex (6.30pm), but by 'eck we are liking that moniker, and we also like that their singer goes by the name Mr Jef Leppard. It's genius.

"Quality bleeds from every pore of these hard rockin' animals," say Underpass. Pass us the bandages!

After This Plague (7.15pm) are one of the heaviest propositions set to snap during the show. Death and Grindcore will slam your way, and you will listen.

The 8pm slot had yet to be decided as we went to press, but **** And The Gang are confirmed (8.45pm)... wonder what those stars stand for?

No Cigar (9.30pm) will start the floor vibrating with their ska-punk-rock shenanigans and then Terrapin Trainstation (10.15pm) will deliver.
City Nights still plays Don't Put Your Baby In A Bush (lifted from The Pitz 5 Compilation) with scary regularity...

Dawn Chorus (11pm) will ring the last dirty musical minutes from a long day of all-consuming city-talent before using the accumulated sweat to put out the celebratory candle. And do make the effort – DC haven't been so vocal in the locality in recent times. Who knows when they'll plug in again?

So, where is this musical bomb set to blow? The Craufurd Arms in Wolverton is your location, and even better for those fresh-faced fanciers among you is that this is an all-ages show.

Admission is 40p a band – that's a tidy, trim sum of four quid. You can't say fairer.
