Ahoy!

Our next gig has been confirmed for the new year. Expect as eclectic a line up as the last, but bigger and better. Details as we confirm them.

We are delighted to announce that we plan to start a creative writing magazine. Full details are below, but in short, the first issue will contain poetry/fiction/play writing/philosophical and political thought/new ideas and anything that is a little stimulating and fresh from RHUL students. We're looking for anyone and everyone to submit. Email lovetomakenoise@hotmail.co.uk with anything you've got. Articles will be wrapped up in clean design, between pages full of illustration and photography. We hope to have more details and a release date soon.

On to membership packs. We've had an amazing response with more people than we expected joining the good ship noise. We promised but havent delivered your membership packs. Hold tight, we will have them ready for the new year. We have only just raised enough money to press the Babar Luck recording and print the zine. If you joined, nice one! We'll sort you out soon. If you'd like to join, come see us at our next show or email.

All members should have been emailled one way or another. We've got a members only gig coming up, get down if you can make it. If you havent received an email, check your junk mail! We've got some very special guests playing a super intimate venue that you don't want to miss!

Those pesky disc spinning kids have only gone and blagged another spot at the SU... Holy Spinach! and the Dandy Highwayman will be representing Love To Make Noise and their own take on a good time (too many records, more beers...) at Tommy's Bar on thursday December 4th when Insanity Radio take over for the evening an host their House Party. We can smell some prime living room chic and a very weird/totally jump up set being cooked. Watch yr backs!

And as always, on a sunday evening, Love To make Noise hits Insanity and spews all kinds of wonderful vinyl gems over the air. Tune into 1287am or listen online at insanityradio.com, sunday nights, 10pm 'til midnight. Holy Spinach! and the Dandy Highwayman jump behind the decks and cause all kinds of trouble.

Thats all for now.

Peace out!

LTMN ZINE #1

THEME - 'TAKE ME SOMEWHERE NICE'

DEADLINE - 22ND DECEMBER

'Take Me Somewhere Nice' is an open ended theme. Respond how you like, no restrictions, just react to what the sentence conjures up. Lets have something to take us out of the boredom of living deep in darkest Surrey, stuck in a surreal green belt with no way out other than some wayward ideas...

KEEP IT NOISY!

The last month has been a blast...

Massive, massive thanks and love to everyone who came to IT CAME FROM EGHAM!!! Thanks to you, the bands, DJs, techies, everyone that spread the word, we pulled it off and made it happen. The show sold out in one and a half hours with no presales, many apologies to anyone that couldnt get in. We tried our best to get more people in, but to no avail. Apart from that, everything went down really well, we couldnt have asked for more. Everybody's support has been invaluable. Hopefully now the Student Union will wake up and realise that there are people out there who actively want to see and hear and dance to good quality live music and eclectic DJs. We showed 'em! And not just us, everyone that came to play, paid to get in, helped set up, lended a hand during the night, span records, did some dancing, heard some new music, brand friends along, told whoever they knew about the show, watched from outside (sorry again, we'll sort it next time!)... Love To Make Noise is a collective that consists of everyone.

So... What of the night???

China Soul started the evening with stripped back, bare folk. Her soaring voice and carefully picked acoustic guitar notes came across like Eva Cassidy, Nina Simone and Feist, smooth, deep and tender songs from the bottom of her heart, the top of her lungs.

Mucky Little Paw Prints started just as Tommy's burst at the seams. We were very proud to see our 'house' band play to 200 people, and tear the roof down, as only penny whistle riffin', tambourine shakin', mandolin slayin' anti-folk kids can! Just the right amount of sugary sweetness, irresistable twee pop and charming lofi folk got the kids at the front dancing and everyone at the back stretching their necks to see who the upstarts on stage were. Best performance yet? Yes, yes, yes.

Robert Logan. Rembember that. Robert Logan shook the building to its foundations. We warned you of how good he would be and, accompanied by live drummer, Robert delivered a set of massive proportion, spanning low end, hypnotic, ambient compositions to frantic bursts of metronome drum beats, motorik rhythms, frantic electronica and abrasive, crushing, totally beautiful sonic textures. A psychedelic, presice mixture of dubstep, techno, krautrock and tense improvisation blew us away. Simple as that!

Python Lost closed the show. Scruffy kids armed with wonky post pop tunes and the best tribute song ever! Angles, splayed beats, roaring bass, soft croons and loud shouts in an arty mess to see the midnight hour in. Ace.

With notable mentions to Sevgi Umur, Dandy Highwayman and Holy Spinach, the resident LTMN DJs, and Owen Richards, whos photographs we exhibited on the night.

And what else???....

Our boys Holy Spinach and the Dandy Highwayman played one and a half hours of upbeat soul groove and out 'n out psyched rock n roll cuts at Insanity's Sex, Rock N Radio night. Nice one to everyone that heard them. They host our radio show every sunday night, 10pm-12am, on Insanity Radio, check it out, or them at http://www.skulledout.blogspot.com

We also had a really nice shindig at our place for LTMN members and family, featuring the always excellent folk hero Babar Luck and our friends Fee and Josh. We're doing another one soon, so watch out!

Thats about it. Our next gig will be in the new year, as we have to get down to studies, sorting the membership packs and partying a little bit. Our djs should be out and about a little more and the radio show will go one every sunday until we run out of records.

Peace out!
