Notting Hill Arts Club
Info
Train: Westbourne Park (18 mins)
Paddington (18 mins)
Tube: Notting Hill Gate (4 mins)
Directions: take the tube to Notting Hill Gate, then take the LEFT exit. That's left, the left again. Walk down the road for a few minutes but the place is difficult to find as it's not marked outside... It's next to a hairdresser's and opposite a kebab shop. You will notice it by the big wooden doors and velvet rope outside and probably a bouncer too...

Dogs Die In Hot Cars at London Notting Hill Arts Club, Tue 01 Jul
They sound like they’ve swallowed the entire Postcard Records back-catalogue, and have a vocalist who sounds like a cross between Robert Smith, Billy Mackenzie and Kevin Rowland. If that doesn’t sound appealing, then you may as well go and read something else now. I never ‘got’ Dogs Die In»
The Parkinsons at London Notting Hill Arts Club, Tue 09 Sep
Close your eyes and you could be listening to the first Clash album. Open them and four scrawny sweat-drenched Portuguese are getting shirtless, displaying the wan chest hair and scrawny torsos as befits the bearers of the punk rock’n’roll torch. The Parkinsons have not an ounce of originality o»
Gary Jules at London Notting Hill Arts Club, Sat 06 Dec
Usually, the prospect of spending even a few fleeting minutes in the company of a singer-songwriter riding the crest of a one-hit-wonder wave would be something out of the baddest of bad dreams. Yet here I am, and there Gary Jules is.»
The Dash at London Notting Hill Arts Club, Wed 21 Jul
Some bands have a lot to answer for, don’t they? Without The Velvet Underground would we have The Strokes? Without Television would we have Razorlight? Without Shed Seven would we have the Teletubbies? Tonight’s Death Disco serves up The Dash, a band who would quite simply not exist had it not been for CBGB’s in the mid-seventies...»
October All Over, The Notorious Hi-Fi Killers at Notting Hill Arts Club, Kensington, Sat 30 Jul

Vessels, Escalade, East/Strike/West at London Notting Hill Arts Club, Sat 05 Jan
Vessels’ 2008 seems set to be one of evolution to a zenith point; coincidence with the debut’s release would be beneficial, but watching their shows become word-of-mouth events of local-scene legend is going to be a wondrous adventure»
