GOODBYE BARDEN'S

Hello everyone!
Tomorrow sees the last official show at Barden's Boudoir take place before it bows out disgracefully into our memories of things which were great in the past. I still have distant recollections of drawing chalk arrows on the pavement between Dalston Kingsland station and the disused furniture showroom we chose for our Lightning Bolt show in December 2004. This was Barden's Boudoir first show, we had no mic stands, a wacky PA and a bar built during the soundcheck out of bricks and mortar but somehow it worked (if you stood on the pool table!). Our good friend Umit established Barden's as a proper venue soon after and has run it with honor for the last six years, nurturing London's DIY ethos and leading people on a merry dance to Dalston when it really was a frontier. Now financial pressures have led him to sell up so to speak but should we shed tears or should we celebrate the venue and all the good times we've had there. No tissues for us!

Tomorrow for one last time we're throwing a party at Barden's Boudoir, we think it should go with a bang! So we have a plethora of entertainment awaiting. Headlining we have Brontez from Gravy Train!!!!'s new band called The Younger Lovers. The Younger Lovers share a similar brat-tastic approach to punk as Gravy Train!!!! but with a more garage-y and delinquent sound - like The Ramones making out with each other on the street corner, listening to The Rondelles on transistor radios. In support we have controlled chaos from COVERGIRL, newly practiced anti-jams from THE HUMAN RACE, spun-out pun fun from HUMOUSEXUAL and white hot brilliance from COREY ORBISON. Now that's what we call a party, look out below for writing galore including news of some exciting new shows for the coming months...
