A four band bonanza plus special guests and Seed dj support on this very special, celebratory night, of all things musical and noisy from electronics to folk, punk to rock.
Headlining tonight are a rare and very special treat in the form of Aberdeen six piece rock/pop experimentalists, Hookers Green No 1 who are represented alongside Dizee Rascal on XL's leftfield offshoot Hero Music. With their charmingly off kilter and skewed compositions that incorporate everything from buoyant electronics and echoing guitar to brass intrusions, their elaborately titled debut album in May 2005, 'On How The Illustrious Captain Moon Won The War For U,' had the crits creaming themselves and quite rightly so, Artrocker commenting, 'imagine listening intently on headphones and the signal is constantly interrupted by the ten greatest things you want to hear competing for your attention, ' whilst, Gigwise hailed them as an, 'awe inspiring creation.' I personally, have had the benefit of listening to their album and i can satisfyingly say you won't have heard anything like it as it shape shifts across the musical spectrum taking in vistas of all sorts of styles both real and alien. Their unsettling atmospherics and electronics are truly blessed and if i dare say, on par with Australian cultists, The Necks. Tonight, is there first London appearance in nearly 2 years. Intrigued? You'll have to be here to hear.
Next up we have some super charged scuzz courtesy of a motley crew of punk and roll rockers that have honed their enviable talents in a variety of explosive bands including The Kramers, The Smoking Hearts and Alfie, which in turn have supported maniacs and reprobates such as The Parkinson's, Winnebago Deal and the downright debauched Sick On The Bus. In their new fortified guise they aim to rape, pillage and out gun their various other manifestations ten to one with some extremely hard hitting compositions/noise. Ladies and gentlemen, in their first London gig, Rock Night Satellite is proud to present Hertfordshire's freshest and finest punks, The Dub Plate Hoodlums. Please be prepared for the extreme.
And on that note, hot on the heels from supporting Martin Creed of strip lighting and blu tackTurner Prize fame, this pair of Siamese twins, otherwise known as a foursome, are starting to cause quite a stir around London town with many a journo (this one included) hailing them as 'a better lot of Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs.' Quite astute i say, as their lead singer used to play with some members of that No-Wave band before their inception. But, these guys are better and even more offensive, in a tender way of course. Stoke Newington's best kept secret welcomes the return of those riotous Chi-Town post punk revolutionaries, The Exgirlfriends. This show is particularly liable to offend.
Finally, topping off affairs with a delicious little cherry of alluring delight , it is with great pleasure to announce that the Italian/Chinese/Martian ensemble that is Sunny Day Sets Fire will be joining in on the shenanigans down in the Boudoir tonight. Not so long ago they played a stormer of a gig with Sweden's electrifying Deltahead at the Spitz and the response they got to their master class in musicianship was deservedly amazing to say the least, as Mauro and Onyee swapped between drumming and singing and back, leaving everyone who witnessed the light, very happy indeed. Like a dose of your favourite medicine whatever mood your in this evening your sure to be beaming by the end of this class acts show. All ready comparisons are being drawn between these frantic funsters and Supergrass and make that a capital S.
DJ support and the afterparty comes from new independent music label Seed Records, who'll be certain to entertain with everything from Italian horror soundtracks and Ennio Morricone to the machine music of Detroit and neo Tokyo.
As ever, concessions are made for flyers holders and now Artrocker members.
