DiS Takes on London - November '04

This month is one of our biggest yet. The label is all going mentally well and our bands are in town. After the success of last months Birthday party at the Marquee they've invited us back for a regular monthly free night.

So first up, some stuff on the Drowned in Sound label happening over the next few weeks... including our new signing Martha Wainwright, the first ever acoustic thisGIRL show (with strings and everything!) and stargazers Redjetson. Followed by our choice of the most interesting, entertaining and imaginative new music around!

#9 - Thursday 4th November

KILLING MOON are probably the best live band in London at the moment according to Drowned In Sound... Having emerged from a 4 month spell locked in a tiny basement, they've developed their sound and songs to something rather special indeed. Expect them to reach the heights very soon.

DUSTINS BAR MITZVAH formed little over 1 year ago and sound like The Ramones and The Kinks going mental in a dustbin. Or, to put it the You're So Old Street way; "They'll either die and vanish or mature and explode. Either way; a rare glimpse into a world of a band being a band just to be a band".
