Odd Wednesdays w/Sexual Hot Bitches. The Legion. March 4th.
24/02/2009
New music: it either sucks the come from a throbbing tool or sucks the shit from a scummy arse. Okay, so depending on your stance, neither analogy is particularly great, but surely head is better than poop? Fact is you need to hear new music before you can judge it. Which is why we’re glad to see a night being hosted by Vis the Spoon at The Legion, Shoreditch. The concept is that four NEW talents from the fields of indie, rock, punk and electro perform every Wednesday. Hence the name: Odd Wednesdays. The 4th March will welcome 18 Carat Love Affair, an indie outfit PlanetNotion decided to check out on MySpace. They’re kinda good for the simple fact they’re pop oriented without being too soft, so you can get up and dance whilst still maintaining a level of credibility. Sexual Hot Bitches have a track called Face Rape. Probably written about a mammoth come-down. They’re a fuzzy, scuzzy female duo with a kinda electro, rock-vibe. Dirty beats work well when your brain’s in melt-down, so with tracks like Face Rape, we reckon they could be okay. The Spivs are a kinda rockabilly, high-octane garage-punk band that’ll take things up a gear, whilst Bleech are a rock trio with a female vocalist. We didn’t have time to check ‘em out because we’re in dire need of a large Scotch. We hear they’re the nuts, though. Guess you’ll have to go along and check them out. End Copy. Odd Wednesdays Wednesday 4th March 7.30pm – 12am The Legion, 348 Old Street, Shoreditch, London, EC1V 9NQ Tickets: FREE!!! MySpace.Com/OddWed

SoulBrew Karaoke. The Vibe Bar. February 27th.
23/02/2009
Its good when something comes along, grabs the competition and pisses and pukes and shits all over it, emerging as victor… albeit a slightly soiled one. That’s exactly what SoulBrew, one of the biggest nights on the Brick Lane circuit has done. Although we kinda made the pissing and puking and shitting bit up. The funk and soul night is set to explore new pastures, kinda like Indiana Jones or Keith Floyd if they were a Jersey Cow or a curious donkey. Rather than the usual shenanigans, they’re going to be launching a new night at The Vibe Bar called SoulBrew Karaoke. Thing is, it isn’t the usual karaoke night. The SoulBrew 6 piece soul and funk band will accompany vocalists on stage for a unique, live karaoke experience. Anyone in attendance can try their hand at soul classics by artists as diverse as Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Diana Ross and Beyonce. And with SoulBrew founders and resident DJs, Spin Doctor and birthday boy Andy Bird spinning tunes upstairs, we’re pretty sure SoulBrew Karaoke will be a great addition to the London scene. Lyrics to the karaoke tunes on offer can be downloaded from SoulBrew.Com . SoulBrew Karaoke Friday 27th February 8pm – 1am The Vibe Bar, Old Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, E2 Tickets: £4

The JD Sets. Nationwide. March 6th - 13th.
20/02/2009
If you don’t want someone to do something, don’t push them into it. It’s like living with a food addict and leaving a Cumberland Ring on the side-board so you can have it in a sani later. You can’t blame the food addict for eating it, the same way you can’t blame a smack-addict for stealing if you leave them in a room with the Queen smiling up at them. So why the hell would you put a table football game in an office full of people on the verge of mental breakdown and then go bloody mental when they play it? If you want a nice piece of décor, buy a yucca plant or a Banksy replica. Better yet, a Ming vase. We want you to go to this March’s JD Sets series and we plan to push you into it by giving you a run-down of who you can expect to see and where. But first, some background info: Grammy award-winning artist Don Letts will join one band on stage at each of the five, nationwide events. JD Sets celebrate Jack Daniel’s love of music when he used to be in a band in 1800-and-something-or-other and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah… The JD Sets kick off on March 6th at the ABC2 in Glasgow. Playing on the night will be indie-guitar band The Broken Family Band, who are kinda inspired by Americana and the whole shebang. Their debut album made album of the week in multiple publications. Also on the bill will be the critically acclaimed Brute Chorus. March 7th will see the JD Set heading down country to Night and Day in Manchester. Little Boots, the beeb’s ‘Sound of 2009’ will be bringing some cheery disco-pop to proceedings whilst Everything Everything will play a different variety of pop. Our headphones are broken so we’re not quite sure what they sound like, but we’ve heard they’re pretty fucking good. On March 10th the JD Sets will head back up country to The Cluny in Newcastle. Australian indie outfit, Howling Bells will be on the bill alongside alt-rockers Future of the Left. March 12th will see the JD Sets head down country yet again; you keeping up with this? Notion 38 cover-star, YouTube star and hotly tipped fuzzy-pop artist Esser, will play London’s Luminaire alongside Guardian ‘One to Watch’ VV Brown. Finally, The JD Sets will head to Belfast, which, we’re pretty sure, it to the west of London. Though it could be to the East. Balls to it, we were crap at Geography and we sucked at Science, all we know is that it’s in Northern Ireland and Kids in Glass Houses and General Fiasco will be there playing at the Spring and Airbrake. PlanetNotion has teamed-up with the JD Set to giveaway tickets to the London gig, featuring Esser and VV Brown on Thursday 12th March. To enter visit our competitions page. Exclusive photo-shoots and interviews with both VV Brown and Esser can be found in Notion Magazine 38, ON SALE NOW! To subscribe to Notion Magazine visit our subscriptions page.

Be@Proud w/Buffet Libre. Proud Galleries. February 21st.
18/02/2009
Wednesday used to be a day of rest up until, like, the 80s or something. Then the government figured they were being too kind, so they f*cked everyone in the arse with a rusty rake and cried: BALLS TO IT, EVERYONE MUST WORK. So everyone went to work on a Wednesday, thinking: MAN, I CAN’T DEAL WITH THIS SH*T, I NEED SOMETHING TO TAKE THE EDGE OFF. So they went out at weekends, got f*cked in more ways than one and spent the week in a world of pain, counting down the days until they could do it again. Whether you choose to accept it or not, that was a haphazard attempt to introduce the upcoming Be@Proud event on February 21st. After all, Be is the kinda night that people count down to when they’re writing spread-sheets, chain-drinking coffee and being verbally ear-raped. On this occasion, the Kabeedies will take to Be@Proud. We’re not going to write about the Kabeedies because we wrote about them elsewhere on the site. If you wish to read our thoughts, CLICK HERE. All we will say is that they cite Roxy Music and Velvet Underground among their influences, so ace in the hole. Also joining the bill will be Apache Beat. Apache Beat can cite Lightspeed Champion among their fans, after he joined them on stage at a gig last year. Their music is a melting-pot of post-punk, krautrock, disco-pop and electro. PlanetNotion gave a track of theirs called Your Powers are Magic a listen. We were pretty impressed. Like Karen O on smack with a nice little bongo rhythm that you can spas-out to in a downer-haze. Making up the live bill will be DJ and blog duo, Buffet Libre. Thing is, other than creating some shit-hot mega mix albums, they’ve also convinced some of their favourite indie and electro acts to cover some classic songs of the past. Particular highlight of their Rewind series: Starfucker covering Cyndi Lauper’s Girls Just Wanna Have Fun . Acts who have recorded for Buffet Libre’s time-machine include The Prodigy, Man Like Me, Little Boots and Sportsday Megaphone. Market trader Bioux will spin a selection of vinyls for the Non-Stop-Electric-Cabaret, whilst Miss Vicky Butterfly performs and plays host to some of the UK’s finest burlesque performers. Resident DJs David H, John Power and Clemence Lachance will also be spinning a selection of indie and electro tracks to pummel your ears and silence your brain into dance submission. End Copy. Be@Proud Saturday 21st February 8pm – 2.30am Horse Hospital, Stables Market, Camden, NW1 8AH Tickets: £10 (b4-9) £8 (adv) Be-At.Co.UK

Doves. Nationwide Tour. April 15th - May 7th.
18/02/2009
Memories, precious memories. You know those house parties like you see in Skins, only with people jacking up in the toilets and pooping on the best rug? Well, after one such party, PlanetNotion rode the rocky road next day by getting stoned in the front garden; Doves seminal album The Last Broadcast blaring from a stereo and a cold six-pack by our side. Bliss. It’s been four years since the Mancunian band released their last album, Some Cities, which flew to the top of the charts. With the announcement of a new album, Kingdom of Rust being released April 6th, the lads have announced that they’ll now be embarking on a UK tour. It follows the demand for tickets after a ‘mini-tour’ was announced this March. Doves will now embark on a nationwide tour, taking in a total of 17 venues from April 15th – May 7th. Tickets are priced at £18, except for Brixton (£20), and can be purchased from GigsAndTours.Com 15 April - Corn Exchange, Parsons Court, Cambridge 16 April – Dome, Brighton 17 April - O2 Academy Birmingham, Birmingham 19 April - Ulster Hall, Bedford St, Belfast 20 April - Olympia Theatre, Dublin 22 April – Barrowland, Glasgow 23April - Picture House, Edinburgh 24 April - O2 Academy, Leeds 26 April - Manchester Academy, Manchester 27 April - O2 Academy Newcastle 28 April – O2 Sheffield Academy 30 April – Hexagon, Reading 1 May - O2 Brixton Academy, London 4 May – Guildhall, Civic Centre, Southampton 5 May - Rock City, Nottingham 6 May - UEA, University of East Anglia, Norwich 7 May - O2 Academy Bristol, Bristol For further information and latest Doves news, visit Doves.Net

Twisted Licks w/The Phantom Band. The Macbeth. February 21st.
12/02/2009
PlanetNotion admits defeat. We lay our palms down on our semen stained carpet, bow our heads in shame and prepare to have our arse savaged by a massive courgette. We’re failures because we don’t know who half the musicians we write about are, where they come from or what they like to eat for dinner. So for this preview of Twisted Licks, a night held in equal-esteem by “LUNCHEON” papers like The Guardian and “BOOZE-ON-A-TRAIN” papers like The London Lite, we’ve decided to check out everyone who’ll be playing on the night and write exactly what we think of ‘em. First though, here’s some information. This Twisted Licks night takes place at new home The Macbeth, Shoreditch on February 21st. In case your musical knowledge exceeds PlanetNotion’s and you’d rather not read the details on everyone who’s playing because you already know everything there is to know about them, here’s who’ll be there: Scanners, The Phantom Band, a DJ set from Ronnie Joice and a DJ set from God Don’t Like It DJs. Surprisingly, we’ve actually heard of The Phantom Band. Their debut album landed on our desk a couple of weeks back and we gave it a listen. PlanetNotion remembers thinking: WOAH, THIS IS SOME FAR-OUT SH*T. Kind of synth-pop then kinda rock then kinda folky then synth-pop again. One track made us think we’d been kidnapped by savages on a remote island and sacrificed to a big monkey or a giant wiener whilst the inhabitants had a huge spas-out dance-fest or a massive orgy. Scanners are alien to us, which is quite fitting considering we saw a film called Scanners that had something to do with aliens. We think. It might have been about office equipment or check-out girls in Tesco for all we know. Hard to say. Anyway, they’re a post-punk band from London, with a female-lead who oozes a kinda Karen O sex appeal. In fact, Karen O’s a pretty good lead to go on because they’re kinda the UK equivalent of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Top drawer. As for the DJs, well, they’re DJs and if they’re playing at Twisted Licks, they’re obviously the sh*t. That’s the sh*t. Ronnie Joice will play indie and alternative-rock beats and the God Don’t Like It DJs will be playing songs to get down and dirty to. Or so we imagine. After all, God Don’t Like filth, right? Twisted Licks Saturday 21st February 8pm – 2am The Macbeth, 70 Hoxton Street, Shoredich, N1 6LP Tickets: From £6 ticketweb.co.uk

Propaganda London Launch. Camden KOKO. February 18th.
09/02/2009
This Indie DJ night is appropriately called Propaganda. We say appropriately, because by dropping big names their founder is involved with, Propaganda creates quite some hype. By dropping big names like OASIS and JARVIS COCKER and the RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS, everybody immediately gets a hard-on and spunks their pants. Propaganda uses Propaganda. That said, PlanetNotion buys it. We think that the night, taking place at KOKO, Camden on February 18th, looks pretty fucking good. We immediately want to check it out. It’s like the time we were at the Rotisserie counter in Asda and saw that yellow, smiley, smart-price face on a poster reading: ASDA NEEDS YOU. We wanted to be that smiley face. We wanted to cook chicken and stack shelves and have our brain-raped by the mundanity of the nine-to-five. Two years later we were an alcoholic, with bad facial fuzz and a nervous stutter. Then we found ourselves writing about it… Anyways, enough of the history. Propaganda will be inviting special-guest Zane Lowe to DJ on the night. As MTV and Radio 1’s main talisman of new music, Lowe will launch Propaganda on the countries capital. You see, Propaganda has held nights before – 8, in fact – throughout the country. A total of 10,000 people regularly attend every week, making it one of the biggest showcases of Indie music in the UK. As guest DJ, Zane follows in the foot-steps of the likes of Lily Allen, Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party, Pigeon Detectives, We Are Scientists, Fratellis and Editors. Also playing on the night will be DJ Dan. Sure, his name sounds a bit wank, but, as referred to earlier, DJ Dan has DJed at parties for the likes of Jarvis Cocker and is the after-show party DJ for Oasis. This means that he’s the proverbial bees-knees and as Propaganda creator, the night should more than live up to its glowing reputation. Propaganda regular, DJ Geck will also play on the night, whilst Digital Disco will provide electro, house, beats and breaks in Room 2. Propaganda w/guest Zane Lowe Wednesday 18th February 11pm – 3.30am KOKO, 1A Camden High Street, London, NW1 7JE Tickets: From £6 ThePropaganda.co.uk

The JD Set Unsigned. February 23rd - 27th. Throughout UK.
04/02/2009
At this precise moment, there are few things PlanetNotion longs for. Actually, there are loads of things but, if we listed them, we’d have the police breaking down our door or be sanctioned under the mental health act. However, two things we aren’t afraid to list are (1) playing at a major festival and (2) having a bottle of Jack Daniel’s on our desk. Or two. Right now. Kind of combining the best of both worlds will be a series of hour long Q&A sessions for The JD Set Unsigned. Five music industry experts will discuss subjects including live performance coaching, music law, music media, ways to attract management and sound engineering. Having worked with artists including Supergrass, Slash and The Pretenders, Donard Duffy will draw on his experience as a sound engineer. Stephen Kemper is renowned for launching the careers of Biffy Clyro, CSS and a string of other acts; whilst Music Lawyer, Lance Philips is a specialist in e-commerce laws including online and mobile exploitation. Music manager Graham Wrench, who currently manages Pulp’s Richard Hawley, will also be on hand alongside Artrocker magazine’s Reviews Editor, Richard Davis. A total of three Q&A sessions will take place: one in Newcastle (Feb 23rd), Sheffield (Feb 25th) and London (Feb 27th). Each person attending a Q&A will be invited to a JD Set Unsigned quarter final heat, where three bands will battle it out for a place in the semi-final. The overall winner of the JD Set Unsigned will win a place on the cover of Artrocker magazine and a step on the path to musical superstardom. Probably. Registration to the JD Set Unsigned Q&A sessions closes February 19th. For further information on Jack Daniels and the JD Set Unsigned, visit thejdset.co.uk/unsigned . Know when to unplug, please drink Jack Daniel’s responsibly. drinkaware.co.uk

04/02/2009
PlanetNotion knows it sounds stupid but we literally have a hard-on about The Stupids touring the UK with The Hard Ons. Seriously, that wasn’t just a semi-clever introduction to this preview; we literally have a hard-on. There’s nothing semi about it.

The Stupids, who reissued their entire back catalogue last year, will feature original vocalist/drummer Tommy Stupid and guitarist Marty Tuff, alongside new bassist Rossi O’Schmitt.
