SoL... 10th Dec 2005

For December, and our final event of the year, we bring you a line up so fantastic it guarantees to exceed all expectations. Read more about the bands below or jump straight to the gig info.

The event will be filmed by iconscious for forthcoming features on their live netTV show (broadcast on PirateTV)

Acoustic Ladyland

"Acoustic Ladyland have broken out of the jazz bracket to become one of londons most raucously exiting bands - in any genre" - Evening Standard

"Melodically adept , rhythmically unhinged , its a performance of mind blowing magnificence" - The Times

Last Chance Disco Album: "The second album is an all out assault on the senses, it breaks with most ideas of what a jazz record should sound like , with smack in your face post punk production...an album that brings out the indie rock fans inner aesthete , and the jazz fans inner hooligan...last chance disco is headbangingly good" - John L Walters (The Guardian - Album of the Week)

The Noisettes

Having recently signed to a division of universal America , with a vocalist who sings like Billie Holiday on PCP, a guitarist who wields his instrument like rock gods are going out of fashion and a drummer who is so seriously heavy with his sticks... Likened to the Yeahyeahyeahs and the White Stripes...The Noisettes have just finished a mini tour of America , where they recorded their debut album, partially in the same studios as used for Nirvana's Nevermind no less!! & touring with Bloc Party and The Kills to critical acclaim , whilst rubbing shoulders with amongst others, Nick Cave , Slash & Lemmy from Motorhead , in London playing recently with Tom Vek & The Mystery Jets , they have just played their biggest gig to date in the ballroom of the grand palais du champs elysees to a whopping 7000 people!!... take this chance to see them now in their natural environment of South London ...before they tour the world , taking it by storm and become global superstars.

Known

London three piece , fronted by infamous street artist "Known" , lancastrian b-line specialist Ben "jammin" Powell and west country beatnik Zachary Baker, having been graciously mythologised by one David Duck , they inadvertently became a band in the last nights of the twentieth century , the most likely context for a Known sighting has been on the streets anywhere , various public (and royal parks) , all types of festivals (this year described by some onlookers as one of Glastonbury's most pagan moments) and on flimsy platforms 50ft high in old logging warehouses , battery powered amps , junior drum kits and customised BMXs have allowed them the freedom to do it their way for the last five years , although now losing ground to psycho-delic solar paneled wagons with a larger range... we give you...Known , the true pioneers of guerilla gigging.

The Gluerooms (Dec)

The Gluerooms are “a New Cross sensation for the diary of all local art phreaks, noise geeks and the dangerously NOW." - Smiths Magazine

Their lineup for our December event is:

Dj Tendraw & The Gypsies Dog (The Gluerooms/Resonance FM)
Decksperimentalist Dj Tendraw throws down some of his homemade records, jumploops, wallpaper and CD/DVD artwork on a pair of Numark belt driven busking decks with unpredictable stabs of circuit bent feedback from The Gypsies Dog broadcasting live from the Resonance FM studio! (live link-up at midnight). They will be joined by the one and only Colin Webster on sax (Africadabra, Eye/Pod, Chik Budo)

Dj Wrongspeed (Resonance FM)
With his sell-out success of the album “Pirate Flava” and not one to shy away from controversy, the pitchshifting wizard joins us for the first but not the last time to rinse out the decks with two, Yes Two! (one early and one late) dj sets.

Liberation Jumpsuit Live
The boys perform tracks from there new“sound bytes e.p.” plus other classics while dressed like some kind of Altern 8 tribuite band, masks and everything. 101% in your face! Superb! For more info on the band go to www.bubblewrapindustries.com

Plus Dj Tendraw will drop an exclusive live reworking of the “sound bytes e.p.” with two copy’s of the original and a bag of tape and plasters. The “Tendraw bytes back” remixes will be auctioned of at the end.

Liberation Jumpsuit vs Small Fires presents “Simon Says
A performance of call-and-response Simon Says using taped instructions from random sources and mandatory audience participation. Absolute genius!

Plus residents Dj Body Damage & Possibly Sick playing what they think and what others may call music.

The Gluerooms is a monthly experimental night held at the Amersham Arms in New Cross. Set up in the summer of 2003 by DJ Tendraw and The Gypsies Dog the boys have returned religiously every month with frends and delivered what the Evening Standard could only descibe as a "Culture clash".

Plugs

PLUGS are a frenetically tight three piece, influenced by everyone from Matmos to Melt Banana, King Tubby to Tortoise, Bow Wow Wow to Bad Brains, and from the Jesus Lizard to....... erm.. Jesus. PLUGS are David Chin on bass andvocals,Boomer on drums, and Morgan Quaintance on vocals and guitar.
