Here's the press release on Underground 32 happening this Friday, next post will be about the LLNR festival.
================================================
Underground is the best night club in the world!
Who said that? Chris B? Well yes, but also someone else,
namely LUKAS ROSSI, who passed this way earlier this
year before becoming famous by winning the Rockstar
Supergeriatrics show earlier this month. "The
Underground rocks, man!" he said in his cute accent,
peering out from under his streaked hair. and indeed it does, Lukas.
Some super, soaraway bands to tickle your tastebuds
and your g-spot at Les Visages...
how about TRANSNOODLE...a tasty bunch of masculine, hairy
rockers from (of course) Lamma. You'd expect the
trumpets, but their ska beats will have some of you
thinking you were at Finsbury Park watching Madness
and The Specials 27 years ago. That is how old I am.
Too much, too young.
I've never heard of them but watch out for THE
SINISTER LEFT. Any band who counts Radiohead,
Interpol, New Order, and The Smiths as their
influences must either be very brilliant, or
terminally dead. I am assured they are not dead, so
there you are. I am going to get my long raincoat out
of the closet which I probably last wore watching the
Bunnymen in 83. Those were the days...("Old git" - Ed)
THE YOURS. Post-punk and shoegazing! Fantastic! Will
have to get some new shoes! Red ones I think. They
have an album out soon. I'm sure I will like this band
as I saw Ride and Lush in 1993 and they changed my
life, especially that bird singer in Lush who smashed
a bottle of Heineken over my head. I loved her.
The there is F.T.T. Sounds like a record label
inhabited by Frankie Goes To Hollywood, but in fact it
stands for Forty Twenty Two, which is the number of
the room where the band used to practise. Name
checking their influences...Muse, Nirvana, Libertines,
Babyshambles. Sounds intriguing. Wonder if they take
drugs like that Doherty bloke. I used to take loads of
drugs when I was young. Missed 1980 entirely. Failed
my exams as well. But I did see New Order's very first
gig, which frankly means I can die happy. (“yawn –Ed”)
The last band - although not necessarily in this order
- is SANSKRIT. See their video at
YouTube - sanskrit ?????
It's brilliant, and the song is good too. Looking forward to see them
live, reminds me a bit of those all ska groups like
Madness and Specials ("shut up you senile bastard"-Ed)
A great night ahead at The Underground. Wear your baggy trousers.
Toodle-pip!
