Afternoon all!
Tonight's Lucky Dragons show is TOTALLY sold out now, apologies if you didn't manage to get tickets in time. We'll have Lucky Dragons return later this year, next time with a new album, watch this space as they say. We have tickets aplenty for Friday night's JAPANTHER show, including some on the door too! So panic over, phew. Lots of new shows confirmed this week, where to start? First and foremost we've just announced our April Fools Two Day party entitled SPAGHETTI TREE. Taking place at the Bussey Building in Peckham on April 1st and 2nd we have DAN DEACON, NO AGE, DUCKTAILS, JOHN MAUS, PLEASE, MUNCH MUNCH, IGNATZ, PLUG plus many more acts performing. Will definitely be a fun one, much like our WAKE WEEK show to see off the Luminaire next month too, which sees ZOUNDS, COLD PUMAS, STICKS, WAY THROUGH and THE LOWEST FORM dancing over graves for a budget £4 extravaganza. Our listings section below is bulging with all the info you need to know, including new additions for MI AMI, NO BABIES and a special live soundtracking of French nature film 'The Bear' also by NO AGE in early April. Woah, might buy a new diary. Here's blurbs for tonight and Friday...

LUCKY DRAGONS
HALO HALO
Wednesday 9 February
Cafe Oto, 18-22 Ashwin St, Dalston, E8 3DL
8pm | SOLD OUT SORRY
Lucky Dragons inhabit Los Angeles. They create an ecstatic form of electronic music that celebrates the spirit of life as well as the magic of genre boundaries. Their music is surprising, inventive and uplifting much like their impressive live performances, which usually involve brain-wrangling visual projections and various forms of inspired audience-generated sonic interaction. For this tour, Lucky Dragons will be in solo mode with Luke Fischbeck at the helm, playing plenty of new music including tracks from the recent 12" EP and 'Shape Tape' on Teenage Teardrops.

Halo Halo take their name from a very tasty, multicoloured desert from the Philippines. They are Jack on drums, singing and harmonica and Rachel on banjo, singing and harmonica. Halo Halo make music that careens, drawing on Appalachian folk rambles as well as the hyper melodic clattering Sinawi vibes of Korea's shamanic past.

We'll also be playing the new John Maus album 'We Must Become The Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves' in its entirety towards the start of the night, so come early.

Japanther is an art project established circa 2001 by Ian Vanek - who plays drums, cassettes and sings - and Matt Reilly - who plays bass and Casio SK-1, and sings. The explosive, unapologetically punk power duo have collaborated with a variety of artists including Penny Rimbaud, Dan Graham, Eileen Myles, Ninjasonik, Anita Sparrow and Spankrock. They have made a name for themselves through their energising live shows, sometimes in unique performance situations - alongside synchronised swimmers, a top the Williamsburg Bridge, with giant marionettes and shadow puppets, and from the back of a moving truck in SoHo, with giant dinosaurs and BMXers flying off the walls. Last year saw them release their wildly awesome album 'Rock N Roll Ice Cream' on Menlo Park.

Shellshag were born out of the long-running public arts and living experiment warehouses in San Francisco called Starcleaners, but now reside in Brooklyn. They've been described as an amalgam of The Breeders, Sonic Youth, Guided By Voices and early Superchunk. And, because they're a male guitarist / female drummer duo, those touch points (Matt and Kim, Juicifer and White Stripes) get tossed around like confetti too. They've played with everyone from Iggy Pop to their label mates, Screaming Females, with their first, now out of print 'Gary Young' EP recorded by Pavement's Gary Young. New album 'Rumors In Disguise' is their most inspired and concentrated record yet - from the grin-laced stubborn pride in Johnny Shell's vocals to Jen Shag's tom-heavy heartbeat rhythms, every inch of tape is as real as it gets.

Bitches are Staz on drums and Blake on bass, both singing whilst ripping up raucous. They bludgeon and slap with style, they do unspeakable mimes involving candles, they get seriously ill from eating weird burritos and they have numerous releases available now through Deathbomb Arc, Isolated Now Waves and Scotch Tapes.
