Damnably/Peel shows
Hi there is a new Damnably Radio show at www.damnably.com and each day a John Peel show is posted from our collection of 300.
Oh and tickets are available for the the next Damnably gig and we have a free on after that. Here are the details:
Damnably is very proud to announce the full line-up for the International World 'Sonic Youth' Day-which is taking place on Sunday the 12th of August @ the Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes (London W1) from 5pm-12
Being as we could not get any New York acts to come and play, we have 2 of Newcastle's finest coming down for this, plus 5 amazing London bands, and all for Free. Each band will cover a Sonic Youth song and play their own sets, plus there will be a Sonic Youth Disco, Sonic Youth played in between bands, Sonic Youth Movies on in the Venues own Cinema and all for Free!
Spraydog-After 10 years in the indie underground, arguably Newcastle's greatest yet definitely most underrated band is celebrating in style. Not unlike sonic youth, my bloody valentine, the swirlies and Delgado's. One of the North east's best kept secrets! "the band combine their influences (Pixies, MBV, Sonic Youth, Ride) and spray it with a scent all their own" R*E*P*E*A*T
Pale Man Made- Marc Riley /Huw Stephens /Steve Lamacq Favourites: Newcastle half boy half girl shimmering distorto-Indiepop, sound like Pulp baring a wedding present for Galaxie 500 getting hitched to Sonic Youth in Joy Divisions Manchester.
"Naive but confident, stumbling but accomplished. Like a well groomed Sebadoh enjoying a night out following a successful sex-change". You Get Rhythm
The Slow Life- London based exponents of Slocore-awash with lovely Low, Codeine, Sigur Ros moodiness. They will make you cry!
City Lights-All female London based Garage trio named after a classic Chaplin film and on Pushing Pussy Records-and in the same rocking vein as Holly Go Lightly .They will make you want to boogie!

Fantaplastic-Arty genre jumping north London 5 piece-who muster up a great post-punk /hell-punk noise-not unlike Truman's Water, Thinking Fellas Union Local 282 and Sonic Youth! They will make you mentally ill! "raw lo-fi progressive punk-edged psychedelia"–Organ

Sexual Hot Bitches-Crazed minimalist London lady 2 piece whose sheer enthusiasm and energy has made them favourites of the Hoxton scene. They produce a sound not unlike the Slits and early Fall but sexed up to the max! They will make you want to have rude sex with a stranger!
"Grrrl fronted TSHB, whose minimal punk racket sounds a little Like the Fall"
Time Out

Former Utopia (East London/Seoul) Mortally sad post-punk 2 piece comprising of East London's George on adapted 6 string bass/vocals and Seoul's Rama debuting on drums. "Like (smog) on holiday in Shellac" DIS They will make you want to fall in love.
before this exciting and Free! Sonic Youth day we also have this great gig!

LoneLady (Manchester)
XFM's John Kennedy/ BBC6's Marc Riley favourites-who are scarily on fire live with wild man drumming, tight abrasive complex chord choppery and a room silencing voice of inordinate power.
