Mish Mash this Saturday


Great News!
This saturday, 1st April we have the rockers that are Schwab with their zombie rock (geared for the foot on the floor!), Urban Delights taking care of baggy rave and the beautiful Lois singing the new mish mash single 'Speechless'. With a nice slice of eye candy from the Creative Intelligence brothers - a pretty boss night i reckon.
Not only do we have the sounds and the sights but we have DJ action from Oscar Fullone and me too!

Mish Mash
from 8pm until 3am
1st April 2006
Cargo, Rivington St, London E1

If that doesnt thrill you why not swing by The Old Blue Last on Curtain Road on the Sunday for the Bizarre Jumble relaunch - ace of bass!

Have a good weekend!

Gogol Bordello Go! man Go!

Hot on the lips of every trendy arsed Numpty the band Gogol Bordello played the Astoria last weekend...unlike all Numptys, i had the fortune of checking out the gypsy punks.
Bloody hell! What a gig - one of the best i have been to in London for years and years.
At first i was a little non plussed as it all sounded a little bit rinky dink 'we are gypsys but we like punk'...but then, as my foot started tapping, my neighbouring student ravers started egging the security guards to 'come and have a go i they think they're hard enough' and my fist started punching the air...i got carried away to the ska'd up balkan bashment that are the Gogols .
By the elongated finale with its tarrantello like speed and duration with the lead singer surfing the crowd whilst standing on his bass drum screaming into the mic in his hand i was a convert.
I have yet to check their LPs - but you must see them live!
To top it all - Eugene Hutz, the lead singer (a cross between Iggy Pop and Shane McGowan) hung out in the crowd for a chat afterwards - maybe he was looking for nymphettes to drag backstage? Not that he would have to drag that hard!
A killer band - SEE THEM!
