BAK 2 Skool returns on Sunday with Reloaded, the second gig to be put together by York College Music & Media.

Organised and promoted by music technology students, this sequel showcases the talents of Endgunn, Loki, Covert Operatives and DJ Fraz Tone at Fibbers from 7.30pm until late.

All the bands feature students from the York College National Diploma in Music Technology course, which involves learning about computer programs, the music industry, gig promotion and how to use a large range of equipment.

York nine-piece electro-rage cartel Endgunn, led by former Cognac instigator Matt 'E' Southall, are laying down an album's worth of original cuts in their own studio for autumn release. Their sound meshes sonic booming bass and drums with synthetic loops and chain-saw guitars as a backdrop for ex-Tung MC Dave Jr and his vocal prodigy Deepak.

As well as the music, the Endgunn entourage includes its own graphic artists, DJs, producers and recording/publishing company. Their aim is to have many talented, like-minded people working together from the fields of music, multimedia visuals, artwork and design.

Loki's Mr Smiffy, Thomas Writicus, Jimmy Milo and guitarist Dan have just started gigging after five months of practice. A band with no song titles, they open the set with 'the heavy one', and play rock in the Deftones vein.

The Covert Operatives were formed for use mainly as a recording studio band but are branching out into live work as "a garage band without the car". Last week they fired their 60-piece orchestra, leaving the line-up as Marcus Elliot Andrew Steele, Rory "Ash" Piper, Matthew "Pasty" Linley, Matthew Buckley and vocalist Sam Hewitt.

York-based trance dance producer Fraz Tone, alias Fraser Rafton, will be making his debut, DJing his own music recorded at York College Music & Media.

Tickets for Bak 2 Skool: Reloaded cost £2.50 in advance from York College, tel 01904 770280, or £3 on the door.
