About the venue

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.

Circuits

"As refreshing as an explosion in an Um-Bongo factory", say Artrocker. "New wave punk with a hint of Caribbean influences in their dub-bass cradled punchy guitars", say Vanity Project.

"We're influenced by bright socks!", say Circuits. You can read more about them on their MySpace.

The London band's debut alum is due in the summer of 2008.

Grammatics

“Vive le difference” sings Grammatics’ Owen Brinley on ‘Polar Swelling’, and if you’re looking for an approximation of what this band are all about then there are infinitely worse starting points.

If, on the other hand, you’re searching for the next Libertines or Arctic Monkeys then do yourself a favour and stop reading now. Grammatics can be defined just as easily by what they’re not as what they are: there’s no place here for recycled musical ideas or contrived social realism.

Formed in early 2006 in Leeds by Owen and drummer Dominic Ord, Grammatics’ mission was and is to combine their disparate influences to make cultured, artistic pop music by their own elaborate rules.

Grammatics are: Owen Brinley (guitar/vocals/keys/sampler), Dom Ord (drums), Rory O'Hara (bass), Emilia Ergin (cello/vocals)

Let's Wrestle

North London three-piece Let's Wrestle are:

WPG - guitar and vocals
Mike Hankin - bass
Louis Scase - drums

Influenced by the surreal humour of David Shrigley and the homespun stylings of antifolk raconteur Jeffrey Lewis, they sound like a furious amalagram of Swell Maps and ELO.

Let's Wrestle came to the attention of uber-cool indie label Marquis Cha Cha early in 2007, and recorded their debut 45 for the label later that year. They describe said release as a "coherent, thrilling art-pop rush".
