The return of Campag Velocet...

Clockwork Orange speaking, Harsh Shark rocking Campag Velocet are back headlining London's Rubicks Clubnight.

Coming from the depths of the St. Pancras Station, The Rubicks Club originated amongst Dj's & film makers and is now bringing their Factory style parties overground to 93 Feet East with Campag Velocet and their psychedelic punk-rock hip hop, space guitars and hostile beats.

This is to be the live return for one of the most under/over rated bands of the late 90s who are now in a state of unsigned swirling rock, angst pointed vocals, musicianship and craftsmanship colliding as art over welded drum power. If you're old enough to remember the '97 'Drencrom [velocet synthemesc]' out on Fierce Panda or their debut '99 album 'Bon Chic Bon Genre' on Pias you'll wonder what the band have done since then, this is your (London) chance to find out.

Campag Velocet appear on November the 7th at the Rubicks Clubnight at 93 Feet East Brick Lane London. Doors from 8pm - 2am £5

The return of Campag Velocet...

the mockney of Damon!
the face of Noel!
the hair of Clint Boon!
the talent of Gareth Gates!

Campag Velocet should stay unsigned, they're poo. Every time some ironic student twat requested it on MTV2, I had to have a flick 'round, braving the dangers of MTV Base and The Box. NOT GOOD.

Re: The return of Campag Velocet...

I just wanna know what happened to Velocette... I liked them I did!

Re: The return of Campag Velocet...

I wanna know what happened to Roxette. They were quite possibly the Band of the Century (well, in China).

Re: The return of Campag Velocet...

Irony aside, I know they have a complete live set of their hits like 'Joyride' and 'She's Got The Look' available for free download cuz I got them... good they are too!

Re: The return of Campag Velocet...

their singer had brain surgery recently. true.

Re: The return of Campag Velocet...

Joyride was a really good song.

Shame about the singer's tumor or whatever it was. :(

Re: The return of Campag Velocet...

For me, 'Almost Unreal' has to be their finest moment. Oh yes.

fading like a flower, come on

Re: The return of Campag Velocet...

Ill-informed (Dale Price)!

Firstly, the definition of a Mockney is either someone from outside London that affects a fake working class accent i.e. that sported by Damon Albarn or a middle-class or upper-class person from London who also affects a fake working class accent. This hardly seems to apply to Pete Voss. Having met him and members of his family, I can vouch for the fact that he is the epitome of a working class southerner and that his accent is 100% genuine. I trust this clears the matter up for you Mr Price.

As for the face of Noel – hey – I get it – he’s got brown hair and thick eyebrows. I assume, Mr Price, that you cannot see the difference between a 5ft 4 inch northerner with a bowl haircut and a 6ft 1 inch southerner with a crew cut!

The hair of Clint Boon (see above).

The talent of Gareth Gates? Have you heard Bon Chic Bon Genre? Or do you listen to middle-of-the-road lightweight shite like Coldplay, Stereophonics and Oasis.

Re: The return of Campag Velocet...

Ok, Mr Price apart from Roxette what else do you like? BTW, I dont expect an answer from you... comments like yours are rarely backed up...

Re: The return of Campag Velocet...

It's called a subjective opinion. It doesn't need informing as it is based on the immediate response to sensory input.

I watched a music video, supposedly a representation of the artists concerned, and these were my impressions. Who the fuck cares if someone is genuinely, 100% working class? I was talking about the fact he was singing in a an accent akin to Damon's Parklife-era mockney.

Re: The return of Campag Velocet...

First of all, I don't give a fuck whether or not you like the band, its music, videos or whatever. I do however, give a fuck when someone who is the genuine article gets mistaken for a middle-class prick who puts on a fake working class London accent in order to conjure up some sort of image and sell records to naive fools who don't realise what a fake cunt he is.

Dale, you are feckin knob. with handles. sort your ears out. The Pag rule.
