its too hot to be inside

I am fully aware this is turning into a Suggestions gig listing blog. I don't care. They are playing at the Amersham Arms in New Cross tomorrow night.  Letters from London are playing and some others.

Also happening at the Amersham Arms at the minute is this Diesel U Music radio project, which is being broadcast live from upstairs, there is loads of good stuff happening on it, if you live in South London you can get it on 87.7fm, from 4pm today Raf and James of 1965 "fame" are manning the decks, so you should be tuning in then! Not sure if there is a site for it anywhere, but I guess there is so search it or something.

I got sent a copy of the Cage the Elephant album and its bloody brilliant. check this out

It's way too hot to be inside doing this. I'll only be posting when its dark or raining from now on. ok?

hope everyone had a nice bank holiday weekend.

Fluo Kids

So Deadly Rhythm did a Fluo Kids night at the Amersham Arms on Friday night. The turnout was hampered by exams and that, but it was a wicked night. Props to Fluo Kids for coming from Paris to do it. Pase Rock was there, Hype it. 

Tonight Underground Heroes are playing at h20 in Gravesend, so if you're in Kent you'll be there. Keeping it Kent based a little more, you all need to be at The Loft in Maidstone for your Bank Holiday Monday. The Suggestions are playing, its free, and its 14+. Its part of Radio 1's Big Weekend stuff, so come down and have some fun.

Ultravox

So in case you didn't know, the title of this blog is a play on words of Ultravox's Dancing with Tears in my Eyes. Which is a tune. Hype it. They were fully amazing when they were called Ultravox! before Midge Ure joined as well. Its a strong look.

So here is one final reminder that the band I manage The Suggestions are playing at West Rocks tonight. It's at Shepherds Bar in Shepherds Bush, doors open at 6 and The Suggestions are on at 9.30. They were recently demo of the week on Steve Lamacq's radio 1 show, and you can also see them at one of the Fringe Events for this years BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend in Maidstone. There will be various industry types coming down to see them so it'd be great to have everyones support. I'll see you ALL tonight - yes?!

welcome welcome...

I don't really feel the need to write out any sort of "mission statement" on this blog, I'm just going to post tunes and write shit, you can check my (almost) daily photo blog to see some of my photography as well. nice nice...

Last night my good friend Ben Jones played me The Twelves remix of that Black Kids song with the longest title ever, which is up on lots of other blogs so go check it out.

Friday night is West Rocks at Shepards Bar, Shepards bush, The Suggestions are playing, so get down there. Here's a Suggestions mp3 to get you warmed up...

So MSTRKRFT are playing a Warehouse ting in London on Saturday night, it's a fairly bad secret that the "mystery location" is the Cable Street Warehouse. If however you can't get in/can't be bothered to try, take a short walk to The Rhythm Factory for another excellent Startstrippers night, this time featuring Underground Heroes live, and all the usual electro/techno/minimal DJ heaviness going on.

first post in the bag...
