Pendulum at Liverpool University, 2nd May
13/02/2008
You either like ‘em or you don’t… I guess you could say it swings both ways. No pun intended. Yes, its Pendulum returning to Liverpool on the 2nd May, and one thing’s for sure they’re always guaranteed to pull in the crowds. Following a sell-out performance during the irrepressible Liverpool Music Week in December, the daddy’s of drum ‘n’ bass are bringing their savage live-sets crashing back, at Liverpool University. Where, you may ask, does Pendulum’s success lie? Well, savage live performances and dancefloor filling tunes for a start… Tis simple philosophy! If further proof of the lads success on the ‘ol drum ‘n’ bass’ circuit was needed try 100,000 copies of their debut album ‘Hold Your Colour’ and a worldwide tour. Comparisons with the Prodigy have been made by the music bigwigs, so if you haven’t already seen Pendulum, judge for yourself. Tickets go on sale 9am Friday 15th February priced £16 (+BF) www.ticketline.co.uk Cream Present Pendulum Friday 2nd May 2008 Mountford Hall, Liverpool University, Liverpool Guide of Students, 160 Mount Pleasant, Liverpool , L3 5YR

'Levi's OnesToWatch' featuring Cazals, February 19th at Camden Barfly
08/02/2008
Ahhh, Levi’s® OnesToWatch®… The name says it all; this an event to keep an eye on. Kicking-off in style with their first bonanza of the year, Levi’s® are hoping to keep up the trend (no pun intended) with a host of dates throughout the country. Oh, and they look likely to succeed given their upcoming line-up at Camden’s Barfly; offering not one, Oh-no-no, but three bands to feast your eyes on. First up and bringing you that “oh so rare” combo of electro-mixes and spiky-guitar licks are Cazals. See, Cazals have the ability to appeal to mass-audiences; they’re a bunch of lads who haven’t allowed their boundaries to barricade them, cross-genre blending hard-pop to soft on a backbeat of electro sweetness. Having supported the likes of Babyshambles and Bloc Party, and signed to top French label Kitsune you just know it’s gonna be a good’n. Also on the bill are Cut Off Your Hands, a four-piece who’ve toured with the likes of We Are Scientists and Levi's® OnesToWatch darlings Foals. The lads are already making waves in the ‘ol surf capital of the world, taking Australia and NZ by storm, and its little surprise when you hear the ‘Beach Boys’ style backdrops on their fast-paced Indie grooves. Single ‘Oh Girl’ is released this month having been produced by the legendary Bernard Butler… Yes, he of Suede fame. Finally, offering support to the two headlining acts are Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man… (search me). Taking their lyrical influences from the likes of Nick Cave and Tom Waits, on a brooding, melodramatic build-up, this band are a little different and darker than the usual fare; but then that’s what makes such events so ruddy interesting. All-in-all an eclectic mix, lovingly spread by Levi’s® OnesToWatch® like cream cheese on a cracker… Oh, and what a cracker this one’s gonna be! Words: Dave Dryden Camden Barfly Doors: 7:30pm 49 Chalk Farm Road, London , NW1 8AN Tickets £5 (adv) Ticketline: 0870 907 0999

Transient presents Tom Taylor, February 16th at The Horse and Groom
07/02/2008
It’s that time of year again; when the old reflect on days of yonder, the lonesome wait (head in hands) for cupid’s interception, and the debauched yearn for high-times, music and merriment. Yes, you guessed it; it’s Valentine’s Day once more. Transient continue their love affair with monthly abode The Horse and Groom on February 16th and the small, intimate pub is fast-rising as a chip off the ‘ol Shoreditch block. Special guest for Transient’s Valentine spectacular will be DJ and producer Tom Taylor. For those unaware of his talents let’s fill in the gaps, for Mr. Taylor is quite a man when it comes to mashing-up and mixing any given track. As one half of 2020 Vision’s infamous electro synth-funk double-act, The Electric Press, zee man is quite zee DJ. Recent hit ‘Reevaluate’, coupled with some bad-boy remixes of Daft Punk, Armand, and the Buick Project (to name but a few), are but a dose of Taylor’s résumé. Throw in some sets at Leeds’ infamous Back to Basics, and a residency at London’s notorious DDD, and you go some way to understanding why Taylor’s appearance has heads a-turning; and why the little pub in Curtain Road is acquiring such a splendid rep. As well as the balance perfecto of Taylor’s techno, deep house and funk, resident DJs Ad Jones and Dan Kinasz will be getting intimate on the decks. Why Horse and Groom… are you trying to seduce me? Transient: Tom Taylor and DJs Ad Jones & Dan Kinasz Saturday 16 February 2008 (Valentine’s Weekend) The Horse & Groom, 26 Curtain Road, Shoreditch EC2A 3NZ, 8pm-2am Tickets: £5 www.myspace.com/transientrecordsuk

'Bollocks to Poverty on Tour' at The Borderline
25/01/2008
Bollocks to Poverty returns to The Borderline of the nation’s capital on February 5th, sending out an S.O.S on global poverty and inequality via the medium of sound. Club nights, comedy shows, gigs; Bollocks to Poverty has dipped its hands in the proverbial melting pot of all entertainment; and they do it ruddy well to boot. This won’t be the first time the notorious event has taken place at The Borderline, having paid host to unsigned bands and up-and-comers in September. Such was the nights success, that an array of nomads plied the Bollocks crew with letter after letter, e-mail after e-mail, and call after recurring call, in the hope of garnering a-place on the hallowed bill of the next event. Of course, only a chosen few could make it… First-up we have The Krak, a three-piece clan with a difference; the difference being there’s no lead-singer. YEAH, I know, it’s ruddy mental! Bassist Ben, guitarist Tom, and… Claire, all have a crack on the ‘ol mic, drawing inspiration from their ménage-a-trois of influences, ranging from Bob Dylan to Cockney duo - and renowned Totten-ham fanatics - Chas and Dave. Bethnal Green four-piece The Toy Guns, whose music “sounds like The Police being repeatedly kicked by various members of The Clash and The Specials”, have fusions of rock, punk and ska in their repertoire. The band are looking pretty god-darn steamy, having won XFM’s Uploaded comp and putting pen to paper on a subsequent record deal. Promising, I’m sure you’ll agree? Next up, Parka are a band that need little introduction; they’re already making waves with their music and being lauded by the press as zee ‘next big thing’. The Indie lads, who hail from Glasgow-via-London, can proudly attribute themselves to a number-three single in the BBC Indie Chart. ‘Disco Dancer’ has received accolades from all corners with it’s catchy chorus; the kind that’ll see teetotallers up-and-down the country holding hands with the alky on their left, clasping a Nelson’s in their right, and bopping-forwards and backwards like a head-banging speed freak… Finally, rounding off Bollocks to Poverty will be London-based four-piece LR Rockets. With names such as Judge, Bomb, Pie and Face you’d think the boys were straight out of the Beano… But when they launch into their mish-mash of wired-punk and pop-rock they seem to fall into their own perfectly preserved and distinct category: Schizoid! One moment you’re a Kangaroo on an Acid trip, the next you’re Lionel Blair, tap-tap-tapping away to a punchy, joyful chorus. Quite frankly, LR Rockets are a rarity… Of course, Bollocks to Poverty will be giving all profits to Action Aid, but in exchange you get a glimpse into the future of the rock, punk and Indie scene… small price really. And who said that charity doesn’t begin at home? For more information on the gig and advance tickets go to www.broccolimusic.co.uk Tuesday 5th February The Borderline, Orange Yard Off Manette Street, London, W1D 4JB All profits go to Action Aid

ILUVLIVE at Market Place
24/01/2008
You want one of the front-running events on London’s urban music scene? Well, look no further urbanites, for ILUVLIVE makes a welcome return to the capital for shenanigans a-plenty on the first Monday of every month. ILUVLIVE’s return follows a hugely successful 2007, playing five city residencies across Blighty’s dense, concrete jungle; all over a not so tee-total of four months. Acts included Plan B, Shola Ama, Ms Dynamite, Sway and Lady Sovereign. Quite something, I’m sure you’ll agree? And a suggestion of how and why ILUVLIVE has blossomed into the beautiful flower handpicked by urban scenesters today. To mark its fourth successive year, ILUVLIVE kick events off on February the 4th at Market Place, London, with a delectable array of artists set to perform. Singer-songwriter Lee Henry, winner of the 2004 Urban Music Awards, takes to the helm alongside such acts as K9, and the up-and-coming 16 year-old songstress Charlotte O’Conner. Big things are expected of the young lass who’s already turning heads in the music bigwig fraternity. The self-professed Drum Hitler, D-Boy feat Swiss & V Dubl E, will also be showcasing their talents alongside former open-mic winner Keleigh and The A’Jays. Ras Kwame and bringer of tastier beats than any purple veg found in Jamie Oliver’s garden, Twin B, make-up the list of confirmed artists alongside DJ Wonder on his wheels of steel. Oh, and of course no ILUVLIVE event would quite be complete without special guest appearances… As if proceedings weren’t sweet as a beet already, right? ILUVLIVE Monday 4th February Market Place, London, W1 8AH Tickets: Free (Before 8.30pm) £6 (OTD) £5 (Guestlist)

DJ Dolores and Band: Live at Cargo
21/01/2008
Men, stick-on your felt hats, and fasten your bombachas. Take a look at that stunner; swinging those hips in her full-length skirt and striped shawl; gyrating just like a wet and sexy Conger eel. Go to her, embrace her; for the Brazilian electro-folk maestro DJ Dolores is descending on London’s infamous Cargo nightclub, and just two weeks after Notion’s very own gut-busting launch of Stand And Point may I add - Arriba! For those that are unaware, DJ Dolores’ latest music was inspired by the sounds of Brasília Teimosa, one of Brazil’s poorest areas. The traditional folk, horns and beats of the region blew the well traveled DJ away, propelling him deep into the unique electro-Brazilian-folk he’s developing a reputation for. With blaring horns, the subtle shake of maracas and a dark political subtext, Dolores’s tracks are a proverbial melting-pot of Northeastern Brazilian music cast forward to the present with a coursing electro backdrop and the occasional rock or dub beat thrown in for good measure. Dolores’s latest material, taken from the forthcoming album ‘Real 1,’ will be showcased at Cargo and is the DJ’s contribution to the ‘Danger Global Warming’ project. The album itself features some excellent collaborations from the likes of Nordeste fusionists Silvério Pessoa and Marion, and Hugh Cornwell of The Stranglers. Yes indeed, Cargo is the place to be in February. On the 15th we, the good folk of Notion, present ‘Stand and Point,’ the first of our bi-monthly beat extravaganzas, and on the 27th Cargo present a smooth Brazilian - of the non-pubic variety. January you say? The New Year kicks off next month baby; hell yeah! DJ Dolores & full live band Wednesday 27th February Cargo, 83 Rivington Street, Kingsland Viaduct, Shoreditch London , EC2A 3AY Tickets: £12 (Advance) £14 www.cargo-london.com

Shantel and the Bucovina Club Orkestra Live + Shantel DJ set
13/12/2007
Who needs pills when you’ve got the music of Shantel and the Bucovina Club Orkestar? Music that gives a subliminal sense of euphoria; where all inner demons, self-loathing and hate is tossed aside like a rotten banana, making way for a harmonious celebration of heavenly proportions. Yes indeed, Shantel et al will be hitting the mighty Koko next year, a date to put in one of the many diaries you may receive as a Crimbo prezzie: Wednesday 20th February. I’ve already put it in the one I bought for Uncle Bobby (lucky bugger getting two gifts rolled into one). With an eclectic mix of South-European and Balkan music, thrown into a melting pot of club-friendly electronica, this Koko gig is one party not to miss. In many ways Shantel is viewed as a pioneer of Balkan-electro, the first to cross over the threshold with such a sound and inspire DJs worldwide to embrace his euphoric ‘new’ sound. It’s a hybrid of Gypsy rhythm and Western music, R & B meets the Romanian beat of Dubstar Bugarskji. In a word: unique. Gogol Bordello anyone? It’s music that throws you into a completely different world - a galaxy alien to us all, yet only a plane ticket away. Disko Partiziani, Shantel and the Bucovina Club Orkestra’s last album witnessed Shantel’s talents as producer come DJ come musician brought forth like a stampede of hobos to a fag-butt. A particular album highlight is Sota, carried through with ska rhythms courtesy of Shantel’s guitar before erupting into a chorus that puts you smack-bang in the middle of a gypsy-campfire and subsequent debauchery. Then there’s Diskoboy, another treat one can expect at Koko; a tale that takes you to the realms of a seedy European club, trying diligently to get your hole or get your pole before the night is through. The terrific aspect of Shantel’s KOKO gig is that you’ll also be treated to a DJ set from the man himself, and there’s the promise of new material from the gypsy-electro maestros. Balls to it - I’m tempted to get buy family the doubly joyful gift of diary plus tickets for aforementioned date! February 20th: music, debauchery and unadulterated fun. Tick. Shantel and the Bucovina Club Orkestra Live Wednesday 20th February Koko, 1A Camden High Street, London , NW1 7JE Tel: 0870 1451115 Tickets: £16 Be Cabwise. Text HOME to 60835 for local licensed cab firm numbers sent direct to ur mobile. Txt cost 35p (Sorry, NOT Virgin or 3). Mayor of London

Somerset House Series
05/07/2007
STARTS 12 JULY: So much of summer is overrated, it almost makes me want to leave my Haviananas in the wardrobe and spend the season hiding in an industrial freezer unit in protest. Why must we drink Pimm’s when no-one really likes it? Also, putting ice in the glass still doesn’t make cider anything other than a yokel’s drink. Yet the prospect of all the musical outdoor events that start springing up is worth the investment in aftersun. Foremost amongst all of these events is The Somerset House Series, a fabulously debonair and delightful cycle of gigs by artists that may be varied to say the least but are still united by their quality. The setting itself is rather majestic, a Neoclassical courtyard of imposing proportions and the prospect of seeing The Roots, Amy Winehouse and other luminaries taking charge of the venue is an even tastier thought than a raspberry sorbet. It all kicks off on the glorious 12th with Mogwai performing in surround sound. I don’t know quite what that entails but we’d all be lying if we said we weren’t curious. The Roots on the 19th would have to be the hot ticket, but we recommend checking out folk patriarch Bert Jansch getting together with Beth Orton and Bernard Butler on the 14th for all your head becalming needs. JULY 12th - Mogwai 13th - Kasabian 14th - Bert Jansch with Beth Orton and Bernard Butler 15th - Guillemots 16th - Lily Allen 18th - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club 19th - The Roots 20th - Amy Winehouse 21st - Hot Chip All shows take place at Somerset House, The Strand, London.
