Afternoon all!
Our WETDOG party on Saturday is the order
of the day, advance tickets have sold out but we will have 20 tickets available
on the door from 7.30pm! You can find the full listing for their Power Lunches
spectacular below with NO BRA, MUSIC RECORDINGS and JOHN DAKER all set to perform. Here’s
the entrancingly strange new video for ‘Divine Times’ by the band to get you
in the mood, set the scene, tickle your fancy…
We’ve also made two
new additions to our upcoming shows programme this week, with Australia’s AUSMUTEANTS playing for us on June 10th
at The Shacklewell Arms, followed one week later with an intimate concert from ARIEL PINK at Bethnal Green Working
Men’s Club (tickets onsale tomorrow from 9am). I can’t imagine a more perfect
match of venue / artist, one for the fans! Alright! Here’s the whole story…

WETDOG are Rivka Gillieron, Sarah
Datbylgu and Billy Easter, three individuals with an expertise for chasing down
melodies across their songs. Previous albums on Angular and Captured Tracks
have indicated their interest with the minimal palette of post punk and whilst
that remains a glowing core to their coals over the last five years WETDOG have
evolved in their approach to making music. Whereas their debut album
‘Enterprise Reversal’ was overflowing with melodic clatter, their follow up
‘Frauhaus’ seemed decidedly darker and disparate. Since that release WETDOG
have become a transatlantic proposal. Separated by an ocean, the trio have had
to work harder than ever to rope together their instincts. This commitment to
staying in touch with each other as well as in touch with their sound can be
heard throughout their new album ‘Divine Times’, released by Upset The Rhythm
on May 4th. It has all of the tropes of what you’d expect from WETDOG, the
characteristic fervor, deadpan humour, falling-to-bits willfulness, yet ‘Divine
Times’ transcends the band’s love of all things disjointed and accidentally
happy. It’s the sound of WETDOG confident out there on their own limb.

NO BRA is the music/art project of Susanne Oberbeck, active since 2003. Known for her signature long straight hair and steely vocal delivery, German native Oberbeck became something of a cult icon amongst London’s alterna-queer set. Currently based in New York, she recently released the follow-up to 2006’s ‘Dance and Walk’ called ‘Candy’, an exploration of the pervasiveness of casual harassment. Repeating “cross the line/don’t cross the line/cross the line/don’t cross the line,” Oberbeck puts the listener in juxtaposed positions, trading off between being the victim or the victimiser, whilst building up a feeling of uncomfortable tension, asking: “What is your candy store?”

MUSIC RECORDINGS aka Max Syed-Tollan was long assumed lost to the vagaries of time, he is the Quintessential Horse Whisperer’ as his songs attest! You will not believe your eyes. You will pulsate rhythmically and gurgle like a frog. You will not have the opportunity to purchase merchandise.

JOHN DAKER are two women making music from the words stored at the sides of their brains, fractured keyboard beats and surreal melodies. Putting the performance into musical performance!
