So here we go: a debut, a premiere, an introduction, a good old fashioned knees up!
Its in Crosslands on March 6th and doors open at 8pm...
Babar Luck - Has been a cult legend on the UK punk scene (as cheesy as it sounds) for years. We first saw him in a field somewhere in Plymouth when we were 16, playing under the name of Luckfalk. He made the most idealistic, angered, fiery acoustic music we had ever heard. With a string of CD-Rs, one studion album release (on Snuff's 10Past12 imprint), hundreds of shows across the land and appearances in countless zines and national newspapers (Guardian, Time Out), he is both a ture DIY hero, ambassador of Anti Folk and a pop genius. Expect mad antics, pieces of spoken word, fiery ranting and feel good notes plucked from a battered, empowered guitar.
Here's what we wrote on our poster!
A true East End rouge will spin tales of love and life, shout cries of bloody revoloution and pluck notes from an acoustic guitar as if possessed by the spirit of Joe Strummer and the soul of King Tubby. An idealist, an anarchist and an anti folk hero fuses reggae, punk rock and world music with mad antics, spoken word and songs to set the world alight.
Handshake - We first saw two parts of Handshake play at Crosslands Unplugged - a boy with a guitar and a boy with an accordian playing soothing lofi pop for perfect for dreamers and optimists. Later on in the night the full ensemble took to the stage, unleashing a whisky drenched, Guiness swigging, good time barn dance of a sound that was met with cheer, applause and dancing feet. They won Holloway's Got Talent, have played shows at Water Rats and the Barfly and are ready to bring revoloution to RHUL with an unstoppable folk revivial!
Poster blurb -
RHUL favourites famous for storming stages with a unique brand of good time, knees up folk music. Expect a whirl inspired by days gone by when whiskey flowed free and gents and dames danced hand in hand long into the night.
Mucky Little Paw Prints - Are a brand new musical entity, excited to unleash a full live set for the first time after honing a charming brand of sea shanty pop at open mic nights on campus, in London and on the green grass between Wedderburn + Gowar. A set of fresh faced RHUL students inspired by penny whistles and Modest Mouse, the band are truly excited about music - nothing too fancy, nothing too over the top, just a good time made by a stripped down drum kit, two guitars, a little violin and a handful of soaring voices.
Poster words -
Debut full live set from fresh faced campus upstarts who will melt hearts and raise smiles with irresistable sea shanty pop bursting with boy/girl harmonies and spring time romance.
The show will also see the record slingin' debuts of The Dandy Highwayman and Holy Spinach! who are set to challenge the stale standard of some of the disc jockeys elsewhere on campus with an eclectic selection of hot n sweaty garage punk, awkward art rock, northern soul stompers, charity shop classics and other jump up, feel good records for loose hips and dancing feet!
Expect a bespoke atmosphere, something a little different and a large helping of music!
See you there!
