We love to mix crazy stuff together and we've crafted another night of Offline madness, with chaotic Antipodean drinking songs, gypsy drum'n'bass and breakcore electronica, plus comedy, cabaret, craft corner, great DJs and surprises: and it's all for FREE!

LIVE BANDS:

JUKE BARITONE & THE SWAMP DOGS
Imagine Tom Waits with a hangover at a Screamin' Jay Hawkins gig in New Orleans... this red hot Aussie outfit will rock the joint with a steamy set of swampy, vaudeville rock'n'roll fused with tales of boozing, women, drugs and politics...
"It's chaotic, it's maniacal and it's absolutely, comprehensively in your face... a genre clashing brand of drinking songs to the point that it's an absolute disadvantage to be sober or seated."
"...it might just make the perfect soundtrack to your next night of unbridled debauchery" CD Baby (USA)
"The energy and character behind their tunes drags the people seated upstairs to the bottom level... until eventually, the tops of the tables are at capacity as well" Soulshine (AU)
"With six members playing a dozen instruments the band teeters on the edge of rock'n'roll destruction..."
"With hard driving Australian Rock based influences and a dirty sound reminiscent of a Louisiana gravel road, lyrics that are naughty and sometimes crude they’ll probably never get airplay on American radio but hey, it's the Blues." The Blogging Poet (USA)

FILTHY KICKS
Mashing up beats, bass, gypsy and klezmer melodies, the 6-piece Filthy Kicks bring together drum'n'bass, hip hop, dub and breakbeat, all performed 100% live.
"A mash up of rap, breaks, drum n bass, synths, drums, gypsy violin & alluring female vocals"
"Like a bizarre but magnificent punch in the face"

PROJECT SERENDIPITY
Massively original electronica outfit mixing up breakcore builds, blips and beats with compelling melodies, described as a, " a more creative and innovative Squarepusher with Slint style builds"
"Blissed-out glitchtronica from the latest bedroom genius to follow in the footsteps of Richard D. James. Cue: luscious, melodic blips'n'beeps" NME
"Clever, rewarding, complex without ever becoming cluttered...gentle guitars, bright glokenspiel, warm melodica...inviting, glowing, welcoming, delightfully creative and just right – in fact, rather highly recommended" (Album of the week) - Organ Magazine
"Incredibly focused on melodies first, then manic beatfuckery second, and it never loses sight of that throughout its 32 tracks. One of the best electronic albums in recent memory." Foxy Digitalis

In the back room:
VIC LAMBRUSCO'S CABARET HOUR
'Abrasive political comedy' - Time Out
Comic piquancy - Independent
With a full line up of comedians, wags, poets and wordsmiths, including:

CHRISTOPHER BOYD
Eclectic, eccentric and erudite, failed noise musician Christopher Boyd was a huge hit the last time he played Offline. so we've got him back. Just for you.
"Chris Boyd's knowing deadpan approach builds on glorious puns about Battlestar Galactica and the Jason Bourne movies as he highlights the murky corners of his life." CHORTLE

CRAFT CORNER:
A massive hit at the last Offline, Craft Corner serves up a hands-on feast of glitter, sticky-back plastic, toilet rolls, empty detergent bottles, PVA glue and other messy stuff for big kids to get creative. Think: Blue Peter on Absinthe.

PLUS:

VIDEOS
Slide shows of original street photography from New York, Brixton and London, plus old video reels and protest footage.

EDITOR (urban75)
An ale-fuelled onslaught of ska, punk, rock'n'roll, big band, rockabilly, Mrs Mills & Liberace in a floor stomping package proving that drinking'n'DJing can be a perilous trade.

NIPSLA (Falling over studios)
Packing more pop than a Rice Krispies factory, Nipsla’s DJ bag is a veritable jumble sale of joy, overflowing with indie, dance, electro and party tunes.

LANG & LOPEZ (The Actionettes)
A veritable platter splatter of 50s, 60s, Motown and more vital tunes from the external linkActionettes' very own Glamour Queens of Vintage Vinyl.

BOBBY BAUHAUS (charcoal soul) More mysterious than Robert Smith's eyeliner bag, Bobby gets dancefloors rocking with quirky, darkside indie-pop and kohl-smudging breakbeats.
