Brainlove 7" Club Party!

Notting Hill Arts Club

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...

THIS is your MySpace link for information on all upcoming RoTa shows. RoTa is held every Saturday at the Arts Club, from 4 til 8, and is free entry. DiS runs its monthly DiScover Club shows there - check the site regularly for details of upcoming DiScover Club shows.

Napoleon IIIrd

Napoleon IIIrd is a highly original musician from Leeds.

He makes a unique kind of leftfield pop from piles of antique organs and car-boot keyboards, gentle strummed chords and driving glitched beats. His live show also features a reel-to-reel tape player, sometimes through surround-sound speakers, and a strobing acoustic guitar. Following his first national tour with Applicants, Evenings, Bishi and The Open Mouths in late 2005, he has quickly gained a mighty live reputation. He has since played all sorts of support slots with bands such as Hot Chip, Clor, The Mystery Jets, Forward, Russia! and The Research.

Napoleon has released 2 ltd. edition EPs, the first on Leeds label Dance To The Radio, the second with London-based indie Brainlove Records. His brilliant Forward, Russia! remixes have gained him extensive radio play and an army of new admirers. His debut album, "In Debt To:", is available from iTunes or eMusic now, and on CD soon.

Shimura Curves

"They sit a few rows away from St Ettiene and The Shortwave Set, riding the kitsch pop Routemaster, giggling." - The Fly

Shimura Curves are a 4-piece band made up of Kate (ex-The Lollies), Miss AMP, Marianna, and Anna Fielding. Casio-tastic backing tracks, co-ordinated dancing and poignant/ surreal lyrics abound.

Pagan Wanderer Lu

Pagan Wanderer Lu is a master craftsman of melodic electronic indie filled with pop 'öhrwürm' hooks, whip-smart turns of phrase and a political message rendered in effectively satirical terms rather than preaching ones.

"Bearing an encyclopedic grounding in influences that range from Bright Eyes to Aphex Twin and a healthy dose of wit and wisdom, PWL performs solo with guitar, groovebox, keyboard and a deadpan confidence born of five years' gigging experience. Having played throughout England and Wales, often stealing the thunder of his headlining acts, he has left a trail of avid converts in his wake and won praise from the likes of Martin Carr (bravecaptain/Boo Radleys). "Anyone who hears a live performance of the articulate chaos of 'Our New Hospital Sucks', the sweet-with-a-bite charm of 'Keep the Weather Out' or veritable tour de force 'Memorial Hall', with its downbeat synth prologue turning into an uplifting electro-disco anthem, will know why. "A glance at his back catalogue of self-produced EPs and albums confirms just how prolific and versatile this artist is, always balancing his will to experiment with his matchless ear for a tune. It not only demonstrates his dedication to his art but highlights Pagan Wanderer Lu as an artist of dazzling promise." - Bootleg Betsy.»
