Made In Americana is a night covering the same sort of musical territory as Newport's Hot Burrito. It's based in Swansea's Monkey Bar. Here's Dave told give you a bit more information...

From March 2008 Monkey will present a series of concerts featuring the very best American artists touring the UK. The nights will not feature any particular musical genre, but will pay homage to the progressive roots common to folk, country, indie rock and pop, all loosely co-existing under the banner of Americana.

If you'd like an idea of the type of music you're likely to encounter, the night is influenced by the following: Wilco, Death Cab For Cutie, Jay Farrar, The Shins, The Drive By Truckers, Steve Earle, Aimee Mann, Weezer, Fountains Of Wayne, Eels, Feist and Fiery Furnaces. We promise you high profile artists and the best live music night outside London (apart from Hot Burrito and Joy, obviously! - thejoycollective ed).
