January Live Line Up, New Podcast from Our Man Fred & more end of year party Pics!
7th - Electricity In Our Homes (Live)
Electricity In Our Homes are Paul, Charles, Bonnie and Thomas, and make the kind of noise you might hear if Captain Beefheart hi-jacked The Fall. They’ve released one EP so far (the ultra sold-out ‘Shareholder EP) to rapturous reception, and been on the cover of The PiX. Tonight they come and make a noise in front of us!
14th - Cibelle (Live) & Secret Guest (Live)
Cibelle hails from Brazil, is currently based in Dalston, and has an utterly compelling voice. Tonight she’ll be performing live for us - expect a very special performance! She’s collaborated with Seu Jorge and Devendra Banhart on her last album ‘The Shine Of Dried Electric Leaves’ (Crammed Discs) - if you haven’t heard her music yet then check out her myspace.
Cibelle will also be joined tonight by another of our Secret Guests for a collaboration - as always they’re not to be missed, and you’ll have to keep your ear to the ground to find out who it is!
21st - DURRR’s 1st Birthday! - Sons And Daughters (LIVE)
Glasgow’s Sons and Daughters have made a damn fine album in the shape of soon to be released ‘This Gift’, and we’ve been playing the ‘Gilt Complex’ and ‘Darling’ singles out a lot! Tonight we’re very pleased to welcome them to our stage, where they’ll be treating us to highlights from the new album and doubtless some older favourites too….
Poni Hoax are French squelch-pop outfit Laurent Bardainne, Nicolas Ker, Nicolas Villebrun, Arnaud Roulin and Vincent Taeger. With a few singles already out on Tigersushi records, you can hear their music on their myspace, where you can also download ‘Involutive Star’ …
As it’s also our first birthday tonight, we’ll have a set from a special guest DJ…find out who by turning up!
28th - One More Grain (Live)
The fantastic One More Grain return to our stage for the launch of their second album ‘Isle Of Grain’, out today on White Heat Records. Strung out on free jazz and krautrock influences, with Daniel P Quinn’s distinctive semi stream of consciousness vocals they’re unlike anyone else around at the moment. Club fave and ode to nervous breakdowns ‘Having A Ball’ is released as a single soon (also on WHR) - A genuinely beguiling band, don’t miss!

We also have a new podcast up from resident Our Man Fred, recorded at the beginning of December, it’s up here
