ArcanA began, in its original form, because of the love of music shared by two people, and their desire to create something. ArcanA grew because they formed a unique and original writing partnership, and no matter what else happens in the world, the only thing that matters is the music.

Supporting Snakeskin. Snakeskin are from Nottingham in the east midlands of the UK who are determined to give the public something fresh from the dreary manufactured bands that litter the music industry today. By mixing elements of 80s LA rock with early British metal and adding in our own unique blend of rock n roll into the mix we create a live show of full on in your face rock n roll that can only truly be appreciated by being at front of the crowd yourself. . £4 OTD.  Add Review

Kindly performing for free, as part of the 27 bands taking part in the massive Paul Hunter tribute concerts. And so onto Arcana to finish off a truly historic event in the history of the York music scene - 27 bands in 3 days and here were the excellent Arcana to finish things off. A rock 4 piece with just enough individulality to make them stand out of the crowd, Arcana had a great time on stage and delivered a set which went down a storm with the suitably inebriated crowd. I was a touch distracted throughout proceedings watching Andy, the sound man, making gaffer tape balls to throw at the Bass Player. And he managed to hit him with the first one n'all. Poor chap - he'd been out only that day to but a new set of bass strings (and for those of you not aware a new set of those buggers can set you back more than the cost of a 2nd hand car) but it didn't affect his performance. ooh er obviously. Top band Arcana - and I mean as a unit - 4 good musicians that gel together really well and the result will appeal to all but the most fickle ears. Cheers lads! - yorknights
