CLUB HELL
presents F*CK GLASTONBURY |
8pm |
£5 |
| |
Sick
of wasting 200 quid at Glastonbury to wade about in muck on bad
drugs watching Sting with a bunch of hippies?
There is an alternative.
You would be silly not to take it. It is Club Hell.
It's The Party At The End Of The Line.
Heat
From A Dead Star "This is music of blackhole
darkness and raging intensity. But it's... bizarrely catchy"
"Wonderful noiseniks, taking the surging rushes of Godspeed,
marrying it to the intense atmospheric brilliance of Mogwai and
the melodic, almost orchestral sounds of early Mercury Rev..."
The
Suicidal Birds + Pony
Pack
Two explosive Dutch girl bands. They are not like The Spice Girls.
They are very angry about something.
Like early Hole/The Breeders/Veruca Salt/the whole Riot Grrrl
thing...
Marcia
Mello A busking girl and her guitar playing ragtime
pre-war blues from Provincetown, Massachusetts. "One of the
best guitarists I've ever heard" - Nick Marsh (Urban Voodoo
Machine/Flesh For Lulu) |

Club
for alternative underground gender-bending grrlz

this month with two amazing live acts...
Maria
Rosa Young (previously known as DykeMarilyn) : We
are proud and happy to welcome Maria back to the Wotever stage!
A Singer/Songwriter with Spanish Gyspy Heritage, Barbados Mojo,
Irish Integrity, Welsh Magic, Scottish Guts and Potent Russian
Blood in her veins .. she and her heartshaped guitar will Rock
IT! Amazing new album available on itunes or on the night.
The
Mad Moiselles : We saw them first at Bar Wotever
where they had us all up and dancing with their lively beats and
humourus songs.
They are 4 girls, all musicians, and they come from the 4 corners
of the world. 'We love the buzz of performing our music live to
whoever is happy to listen. We don't make excuses for who we are
or what we do because we know that as long as you give life the
best you've got, to live is enough'. This attitude will sure make
Cross Kings shake on the night! |

Bob Hillary,
Kate Daisy Grant and The Camden Sporting Arts and Social Club Band |
7.30pm |
£2 |
| |
|
Bob
Hillary
Bob Hillary is basically a hippy, whose life revolves around strong
friendship and a love of good earthy real passionate music.
He hopes to help people rise out of the craziness of the world situation
at the moment and raise the consciousness and vibe thru music. His
music mixes folk and dub in the most gentle of ways. Kate
Daisy Grant
Harmoniously discordant, strange yet familiar,
sinister yet comforting. Kate Daisy Grant ignores the stale formula
music industry and brings us something truly new and innovative.
Like Alice in Wonderland she takes you on an atmospheric, and
sometimes unsettling, journey through surreal dreams filled with
whimsical and quirky sounds. Accompanied by a Victorian mechanical
toy orchestra, Kate's intimate lyrics and sensuous tones take
you by the hand and lead you through this unique experience. Melancolic
and totally absorbing this is a dream you don't want to wake from.
Subtly and gloriously produced. A gem."
GRAHAM PHENIX, 3AM MAGAZINE
"Fresh, engaging and gorgeous" - TOM
ROBINSON, BBC6
The Camden Sporting
Arts and Social Club Band
Back by popular demand and led by the ever amazing Harry Glass,
the CSASCB is back for its finale of the London Summer Tour. Americana
sounds from a 7 piece welded together with nothing but the love
of jogging. Lively tempo reinforce cracking melodies. |

The
Dan Spanner Big Band is made up of quality players from
around London. They play music from the repertoire of Count Basie,
Buddy Rich, Stan Kenton, Maynard Ferguson, Charlie Mingus... and
other great big bands, with the aim of entertaining audiences
rather than appealing to their intellect. This great music and
indeed the appeal of a big band with all that blowey metal and
collective swing thing should be celebrated...
