Carling Live 24: Bondies Pull Short Straw

by Adie Nunn [Edit this content] ▾ 0 comments 15:59 April 6th, 2004

On May 1st in London, omnipresent drinks giant Carling is sponsoring a 24-hour mini festival of live music.

The gigs start at 7am and roll on into the night with an aftershow party at a 'secret location' from 3am the following morning. Whatever you take to keep you awake this long is up to you.

Just think of the poor wee lambs going on first. If you've got the stamina, you could be there too to watch them, so head on over to the Carling site to win tickets.

The line up is as follows:

0700: The Von Bondies + Kasabian @ Barfly, Camden
1100: Franz Ferdinand + Fiery Furnaces @ Carling Academy, Islington
1400: Starsailor @ Bush Hall, Shepherds Bush
1800: Feeder + Kid Symphony @ Carling Apollo, Hammersmith (tickets £10 + booking fee)
2130: Scissor Sisters + Lamb @ Carling Academy, Brixton (tickets £10 + booking fee)
0300: Aftershow party @ secret location (apply for passes on the site linked above)

the aftershow isn't at a secret location it's at the bug bar in brixton. well that's what the website says anyway....

Maybe now it is, but when the story went up it was a "secret location".

Bug Bar is an odd and very crap choice.

If I were a DiS writer and that was the prize, I would make sure I wrote about nothing other than Peruvian Nose Flute music, just to be sure.

the mighty Explosions In The Sky and Fourtet, amongst others, are playing at the Coronet the night before (www.coronet-london.co.uk), show is from 9.00pm - 6.00am.....just in time to head over to barfly! dunno where coronet is or what it's like, but do i sense a very, very long gig-crawl coming?!?!?! t'would be a very interesting 35 hrs!!!

(and there's always starsailor and feeder to miss if you want some sleep..! or get your arse kicked in at the mayday riots)

Re: Carling Live 24: Bondies Pull Short Straw

the Coronet's just across from Elephant & Castle tube station...which therefore means south of the river, but it'll be a nice stroll if the weather's good and yr head's straight enough to navigate ;)

coronet's a deadly venue too, 3-floor old theatre with extra rooms, seats, spacious and yet great for an all-nighter as well. the Warp one there on Halloween was great and the poshest rave there's probably ever been - i think the EYOE crew behind this one had a hand in that night & some of the awesome early-hours djing too, so ought to be fantastic really. Cheers for reminding me about it actually!
