DOG CHOCOLATE sound like a crowded room but
are actually four individuals from London. Having played in many other bands
including Yeborobo, Limn and Gasp! Cracking Eggs, united they recognise Dog Chocolate
as their one true love. Abandoning notions of elegance, cred and
professionalism they embrace the ramshackle, instant and fun, capturing a vivid
spontaneity with their music. ‘Snack Fans’ is the band’s debut album, released
on March 18th by Upset The Rhythm. In just over 25 minutes the band gleefully
assemble a roller-skate of sound held together with sellotape and blu-tac, just
robust enough to reach it’s destination as it’s chucked downhill. It’s an album
packed with ideas and momentum, no need to set the table, Dog Chocolate are in
a rush. If ‘Snack Fans’ doesn't satisfy your appetite then you’ll need to fix
yourself a feast or something.
RÓISÍN AND CHIARA’s “routine is as funny as
it is bizarre. Whether singing a hymn to Nick Grimshaw, pretending to be
breastfeeding babies or giving sage advice as celtic mystics, Róisín and Chiara
are consistently hilarious. They move with such rampant pace from one segment
to another that the audience cannot help but get caught up in the proceedings:
even if you’re not a fan of absurdist comedy, you'll find it hard not to enjoy
their infectious energy. ***** " - Broadway Baby
PRIVATE TROUSERS are playing the long game,
one step at a time. Variously regarded as a breath of fresh air and an awful
business, PT use self-made instruments to make lairy lullabies for the
happy-sad, yes you.
DJ EGG LEGS’ tropical omelete includes
Highlife, Afro funk, soukous, makossa, samba, mambo, shangaan and many more.
