ROUGH KIDS! Present

MUSIC:Rock n' Roll / Indie / Reggae / Soul / Punk

BANDS
THE VIVIANS

The Vivians are five close friends who assembled together in the basement of a café in Edinburgh, August 2006, to create the foundations of a rock ‘n’ roll band. They released second single “Just Two Girls” in August 2009 through the Too Pure Singles Club (Beggars Banquet Group). The track has taken off massively and was added to NME Radio Playlist A for the entire month – beating all other singles released by the Beggars Group that month. XFM has played the single extensively as has BBC Radio 1 Scotland. “Just Two Girls” has also been played on the Radio 1 Rock Show and shortlisted for “single of the year” by RockFeeback.com. Each review shows great admiration for the new single and the potential for The Vivians to have a successful future.

THE SUPERNOVAS

The Supernovas are a young 4-piece from the Holloway Road, in North London. They have been playing together since the tender age of 16, tearing up stages the length and breadth of the country. In their time together they have played alongside Babyshambles, The Holloways, The Kooks and Larrikin Love, to name but a few. The lads debut single Ace Face was released towards to end of last year and was soon followed by shows around the country supporting Babyshambles.

SWING YOUTH

Swing Youth are a band of brothers tearing up their local scene and are a breath of fresh air on the London Circuit. They won’t remain a little secret for long! Their amazing double A side debut single Myself To Blame/Blade of grass was released in October last year and was given air play by both Steve Lamacq and Tom Robinson, since then all physical copies have sold out... Come and see what all the fuss is about!

GREASY LIPS CLUB

MUSIC: Indie / Rock / Punk

This night is rocking Dirty South every month and with this the first Greasy Lips Club of 2010, they have pulled out all the stops with another four of the best unsigned bands and an amazing DJ set by the host for the night, Alan McGee.

The format continues with Alan and event partner Jamie Kelly handpicking another four of the best unsigned bands and giving them the opportunity to perform on the Greasy Lips Club stage. Alan will offer his time, knowledge and advice to the bands and also push the acts and event through his blogs.

Headlining the night will be The Invasion Of….whose line up include a certain Gary Powell, the original drummer for the Libertines and Dirty Pretty Things. He is well known to Alan who was manager of both these great bands. They will be ably supported by The Brassic, Falling Embers and Boldly Goin’ Nowhere.

In addition to this great live line up, Alan himself will be DJing. McGee's sets are notoriously eclectic, spanning punk, indie, rock and always a few surprises thrown in for good measure.

The acts Alan McGee has been involved with over the last 20 years, reads like a who’s who of modern British indie/rock (the guy has managed everyone from Mogwai to The Charlatans to The Libertines and launched the careers of Oasis and The Hives). He fashioned Britpop out of his original Creation Records imprint and triumphantly returned with the Poptone label. As you can imagine, this new concept club night not only offers a platform for those involved to push their sound, but a chance to really develop their own path for the future.

All the ingredients are in place except one – just add people!

RAPTOR

MUSIC:Music: Dubstep / Grime

RAPTOR is back once again in February, this time bringing you some of the deepest tunes ever to hit vinyl. Headlining this month will be:

DJ'S
CYRUS (Random Trio, Tectonic, Origin Audio):
www.facebook.com/pages/Cyrus-Random

A veteran of the dubstep scene since its inception in early 2003, you couldn’t get much better credentials for being a dubstep legend than Cyrus. With releases on Tectonic, RTP, Deep Medi and Southside Dubstars expect nothing less than deepest chest rattling sub bass, face slapping snares.

Supporting him will be:

TESSITURE (ELLFIVEDEE b2b Delta Labs)

One of Sub fm's baddest DJs Ellfivedee, who in recent months has seen residency for Dub Pressure in Brighton, Eyes Down nights in North Wales, Boiling Point nights in Guildford, Weekly nights in Aldershot as well as a wide range of events across the UK has now teamed up with Delta Labs for 2010 to bring you even more vibe-felt bass weight from the studio to the stage!

COLECO (Soul Motive)

Coleco's music is more of a genre defying exploration of sounds. All of his influences become clearly apparent in his music, as takes you on a journey through deeply harmonic melodies, and heavy funk breakbeats, with deep, rippling bassline undertones. Alongside your monthly raptor residents.

RAPTOR is going to get bigger and better as 2010 progresses, bringing you the biggest names, and more of the freshest local talent at the same time.

Post on the group page (CLICK ME) suggestions of dubstep acts and artists you want to see, and we'll make it happen.

Also, if you are a dubstep DJ, Producer or MC and would like to perform at raptor, send me a mix to raptordubstep@gmail.com

See you there!

Hours: 9pm - 2am
Cost:£4 before 10pm / £5 after

Absent Kelly Presents

THE VORTEX FEAT-BONEHEAD (EX-OASIS)

MUSIC: Indie

Tonight Absent Kelly gives you the chance to check out the first band to emerge post the Oasis split! As Noel and Liam squabble, Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs leads the way with his new band The Vortex! Bonehead was guitarist in the original Oasis line and is set to bring a fresh, big Manchester sound to our southern stage on the ONLY London date of their European tour. Their music, reminiscent of early Oasis begs the question, ‘how much did Bonehead contribute to the sounds of Defiantly Maybe and Morning Glory which defined a decade?’ This was the much loved sound that indeed seemed to dry up on his departure from the band. Interesting, to say the least.

In addition we also have a host of live support acts including local favourites, The Dirty Reds!

BANDS:
THE VORTEX
THE DIRTY REDS
