SHOCK HORROR!
I’ve managed to get this weeks Be@Proud preview online way before it happens. Maybe it’s because I’m going on a break tomorrow and had to get it done. Maybe it’s because I’m genuinely excited about the night and had to tell the world. And maybe it’s because I’m so bloody brilliant at running this website.
Ahem, so the world doesn’t read Planet Notion and I’m absolutely shit at running a website, but one-and-a-half out of three ain’t bad…
So, once again, here’s a run-down of what you can expect to see at Proud Galleries on September 27th.
First-up: Screaming Tea Party. No, not a scene from Alice in Wonderland, had Lewis Carroll’s opium indulgence been topped-up by several tabs of 60s finest, but a female drummer from London and, um... two lads from Tokyo.
The Mad Hatter thing isn’t a bad analogy as it goes, because Screaming Tea Party sound like putting a bag of pills in a washing machine, sticking your head deep into the epicenter and playing hungry-hippos whilst it’s on spin-dry.
We’re talking sweet psych-punk rhythms and lo-fi tunes that range from mouth-wateringly subtle to full-throttle satisfying.
Delicious!
Next-up: Munch Munch… The Bristol quartet are like that really deformed guy from the Goonies who had a strange infatuation with young fat boys. They’re so brutally ugly to listen to, you’d rather they were locked in a padded cell and fed through a letter-box. But you can’t help but love them anyway.
Munch Munch produce their DIY sound in a bedroom, have been granted numerous Radio 1 sessions and have a new single out on November 26th. They’re also lauded as one of the most exciting live acts around.
Two words: Excruciatingly brilliant!
Finally: The Lovely Jonjo will be making the journey to Camden’s finest. We know very little about this chap, except that he likes: “A good time, a good loud noise, a good beat you can dance to, a good booze, a good beach, a good man, a good lady friend, a good booze, a good meal, a good family, Why put up with medium?”
We need say no more.
This is the last Be@Proud of September, but have no fear; I’ll be back next month with a preview of Be@Proud’s October schedule. So, stay tuned, or I’ll cut your nuts and nipples off with a Gordon Ramsey fish slicer!!!
Only kidding.
