“I would be honoured if you would walked it with or without me.”
Summer mashup silliness, and it’s allowed ‘cus it’s my birthday!
Now I know these are listed on the Regular Events page, but here’s a reminder.
Free entry, live music, spoken word and friendly crowds – hosted by the indeterminable Mr Hovis. On Tuesday evening get yourself to the Half Moon pub in Herne Hill (great pizza), and on Wednesday drop by the Redstar in Camberwell (2-for-1 cocktails).
If you know of anything fun coming up, do let us know.
We saw Nouvelle Vague on South Bank last Sunday, as part of the Coin Street bossa nova festival. They were magical, have an MP3:

Also was pleased to catch Smoke City (who’re now called Zeep) performing Underwater Love. Very apt lyrics for the weather that day!
Sit-hop crew Queens English have released their album, ‘EQ‘, go get it!

FAMILY BATTLE SNAKE
Striving for that late night monster psych jive…Heavy telepathetic improvisations, dipped in a hazy psychedelic mayhem, from lulling numbness to fierce noise outbreaks.LADYSCRAPER
Both brutal and good-natured, dark yet optimistic. It’s a new sort of super-dark sound with a silver lining. We’re pleased as hell with it!!JOHN WALL
His working process is to reconfigure some of the more abrasive shards of modern classical music. He splices them hard up against an explosive soundbite from metalers Carcass or free-improv from the Derek Bailey school of thought, often parallel mixing these sample arrangements against improvisations record from instrumentalists in his studio.
The Scaredycats played {needleandthread} at Brixton Jamm last Friday, they were (and I’m assuming still are) amazing! Jumparound ska in fine form. I’ll be hassling them for some tracks to post up here.
They’re playing a free gig at the New Cross Inn on Wednesday, here’s the flyer:
You’ve heard it, now watch it! Ashok‘s brand new video for Lean From The Middle.
