Apologies...

For not updating recently I've been a bit of a sicknote of late. But I'm
back on it & ready to serve up another tasty dish of live musical mayhem!

Last Thursday's show was a little different from the norm, with beat
poetry, projections & soundscapes filling the air. The People loved it
though so thumbs up to The Advanced, Peter Harvey & Dave O'Kelly.

This Thursday's show

07/08/08

The Slytones http://www.myspace.com/slytones

"When a warped mind stumbles across a guitar,
A caffeine fuelled sugar freak slaps a bass,
And a spazming body meets a drumkit,
When the things we take for granted come tumbling down,
And the walls rise up around us.
Close your eyes,
Feel the sounds that surrounds you.
These are the Sly-tones....
Indulge them, embrace them, believe them...."

They wanted the man,but the man wanted nothing! "Take my machine",the man
said outlined by sun-rays against his back. "It will warn you like you
wouldn't believe",he then continued. (An excerpt from Elmoncho's book of
reprisals) Journey through the corridors of your mind with THE MAN
FROM.......

I'm In Love...

with the great music on show at Golborne Groove each & every Thursday. This week was outstanding, superb performances all round from YveDevora, Jess Shillingford & Happy Riot. Thanks also to a wonderfully appreciative crowd. We are getting some serious music lovers at Golborne Groove!

Next Thursday's line up 17.07.08:

Deportivo

http://www.myspace.com/deportivomusic

"With heavy influences from the likes of Squeeze, XTC, ELO, Blur, Supertramp and many more… Deportivo songs sound like they were written during a particularly good seaside holiday in 1974 combined with a three-week bender full of romantic liaisons on 0-0 draws in the less salubrious drinking holes and back streets of any major city in the UK.

So there you have it… If you like your bands with an air of arrogance, more style than content and some ‘interesting’ and ‘angular’ guitar riffs, there are about 500,745 to choose from. If you want a band that will make you smile and hum on a packed Northern Line tube train to work on a Monday morning, it is really time that you had a listen to Deportivo."

Midnight Schemes

http://www.myspace.com/midnightschemes

"Midnight Schemes is the all conquering folk/funk/manouche trio. The band started in early 2004, prolifically playing the ramshackle circuit around the rock capital of the UK, Cambridge. Two confusing years followed, securing the band an enviable live reputation and victory in the Cambridge Battle of the Bands. On a sadder note, this period was accompanied by string of humiliatingly woeful haircuts."

The Relatives

http://www.myspace.com/therelatives

Roots Music / Pop / New Wave from this great 4 piece.

T'was a great night

of fantastic music. The bands played, the people swayed & the women swooned over Richard (again). Thanks to This Sweet Resonance, Monolux & Coppers For Karma. Thanks to The People.

With all the running around I'm doing on the night there's no-one to take any pictures! Looks like we're gonna need an official photographer...

Another great Thursday night

at Golborne Groove. Despite losing Luminous March to injury, December's Children & Blue Collar Funk did more than enough to ensure they weren't missed. Big Thanks to the talent & a bigger Thanks to The People.

We'll be having all female led bands next week, be sure not to miss it! But before that we've got Coppers For Karma headlining a triple bill this Saturday. It's gonna be spectacular, check out Facebook for details!

This Saturday's The Big One!

Coppers For Karma are back at Number 10 for their monthly residency. A night of great music is assured!

If you haven't already you really MUST see this band. They've been described as “The London threesome you most want to be part of”. Their energy and standard of musicianship on stage is matched by their versatility as writers and the imagination of their arrangements, and their aftershow parties are truly the stuff of legend.

They'll be supported on the night by the fantastic Monolux & our old friends the ever brilliant This Sweet Resonance.

Facebook Groups aplenty:
