Be@Proud w/Kissy Sell Out. Proud Galleries. October 11th.
07/10/2008
Been having one of those weeks where I get all philosophical and wonder just how vast the Universe is and question what I’m doing with my life and shit. Thing is, it isn’t even a come-down. I mean, I was only drinking heavily this weekend, nothing major. 50 hours was all. Still, I think I’m over the booze demons. I think the last of their haunting was when the Fox started mauling my shoulder and mum rushed in, shook me and told me it was: “Just a dream, son; just a dream”. I think this dark, gloomy depression must be God’s way of saying: “YOU SHOULD HAVE GONE TO BE@PROUD, YOU FOOL” or “YOU SHOULD GO TO BE@PROUD THIS WEEKEND, YOU NUMPTY!” Well, something like that. Hell, one look at the line-up and I make the big man right. Yet again Be@Proud has pulled out all the stops. First-up we’ve got one of the finest remix DJs to emerge from the ol’ – “ eels, pies, saveloys and trotters” – East End of London. I refer of course to Radio1’s newest DJ, Kissy Sell Out. The anticipation for Kissy’s debut album has been huge since he started on the London circuit - before taking the whole ruddy nation by storm! The Graphic Design graduate’s talents have earned him accolades from some of the industries finest. Little surprise; Kissy’s sound is fresher than a spring daisy and sicker than Pat Butcher doing a curry-dump in a shallow puddle. Supporting Kissy Sell Out will be near neighbours the Rogues, who are the equivalent of a very heavy day and night and week on the tiles, skipping from venue to venue and pub to pub and not quite knowing if you’ll be faced with some funky electro beats or some good ol’ fashioned pub-pop fodder. Hailing from Harrow, Rogues have only played a few gigs together, already garnering a reputation and a string of live dates under their belts. Fresh on the American scene, James Pants has been turning heads with his friggin-far-out-sound, man. Pants’ tunes are far from his namesake, his beats dripping with everything from new wave and R&B to post-punk disco. Hip-hop’s newest big-name, Dels, will also be making the trip to Camden. The 23-year-old has already been signed to hip London label, Moshi Moshi and is set to release an album with Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard early next year. O and lest we forget, Be resident DJ, David H and resident VJ ,(the fabulously named) Hagpop Matossian, will be on hand for another dose of bad-arse beats and mind-fucking visual displays. PHEW! Got there eventually. And if that bloody fox creeps up on my dreams again and starts munching my shoulder or my cock or something, I’m going to kick him right out the window – smashed glass or no smashed glass , because there’s no way I’m missing this one… Be@Proud Saturday 11th October Proud Galleries, Horse Hospital Stables Market, Camden NW1 8AH 8pm – 2.30am Tickets: £5 (before 9) £8 (adv) £10 www.be-at.co.uk

Levi's OnesToWatch. The Old Blue Last. October 8th.
03/10/2008
Yes, yes, yes. Thrice yes. Levi’s OnesToWatch October schedule has been released and 'O' what a line-up we’ve got in store. Following the success of the Levi’s OnesToWatch ‘5 Night Revue’ at the Macbeth, which saw the likes of Metronomy and Foals grace its presence, the 'O' so popular music series will be hitting The Old Blue Last in London. Armed with his battered acoustic, Derek Meins will be wowing the masses with his whimsical blend of music and poetry. It’s kind of like being in Greenwich Village in the early 60s and stuff; little surprise that James Joyce was a major influence. The folk and blues man has been lauded as a fantastic live performer, and his solo poetry performances are said to be a particular treat. Well worth the admission alone… Carrying on the acoustic theme will be Josh Weller, formerly of Josh Weller and The Availables (don’t worry, I’ve never heard of ‘em either). Alas, Josh has received plaudits from across the border as a solo proposition, his music a nod to days of yore, all with the eccentric youngster’s own stamp of musical authority. Finally, London five-piece La Shark will be heading to The Old Blue Last. The London five-piece blend quirky beats and music with even quirkier vocal harmonies. Levi’s OnesToWatch 8th October, 2008 Action starts at 7.30 Old Blue Last 38 Great Eastern St Shoreditch , EC2A 3ES Tickets: £6.50 (adv) Ticketline: 0870 907 0999

Sony Ericsson Run To The Beat. Throughout London. October 5th.
01/10/2008
We’re living in a café culture; a culture of sausage eggs and bacon (thrice) and doner kebabs (thrice times three). Usually followed by a tub of Haagen Dasz, a family sized coke and four tubes of Cheese and Onion Pringles. Oh, what woe! Trouble is, that getting fit is so ruddy boring. It’s like a Sunday afternoon, when you’re two weak to write, there’s nothing but rubbish on TV, you’ve got a tedious family meal to attend, you’ve been banned from drinking because you were on the lash the day before and… and… and… Enter Sony Ericsson’s Run To The Beat, which aims to make exercise interesting by adding 30 bands and artists into the equation. It’s for charity as well, so, you know, it’s basically the best idea since I considered handing in my notice. Run To The Beat is a half marathon, taking place in London this Sunday (October 5th). When the runners reach one of 16 points, they’ll hear some tippety-top, with some extra topping of top, live music playing. It’s kind of like a festival, only across half of London and without everyone getting tanked-up and bedding strangers. The event has been organized with Sony Ericsson’s partner, City Showcase, whose previous events in the capital include the London Music Festival, where the likes of Amy Winehouse, Hot Chip and Keane played. As well as acts that people instantly recognize, upcoming bands from around the nation are also going to perform. This includes the genre-bending upstarts, Imperial Leisure, who consist of 2 MCs, 1 singer, a Rhythm section and a Brass section. The band - who merge ska, rap and rock, have gained plaudits from the likes of XFM and Radio1. In a scientific twist, the tempo of the music is to be governed by Brunel University Academic, Dr Costas Karageorghis, who has over 20 years experience researching the link between sport and music. “We have been examining the demographic profile of athletes very carefully,” explains Dr Karageorghis, “to ensure the selection of live music acts span age groups and genders to provide motivational music that will inspire runners as well as spectators.” The unfortunate thing is that Run To The Beat has already sold-out. Boo and Hiss! But don’t go lynching us for failing to bring news to you sooner; for you can still get involved and raise money for charity, including official charity partner Leukaemia Research. For further information, including how to get involved and a map of the Run To The Beat circuit, visit runtothebeat.co.uk Oh and taking to the main stage of Run To The Beat, at around 1300 hours, will be Trash Fashion, who have been causing quite a stir in the underground press of late (apparently). The band won a competition in Super Super magazine to play at the event. Confirmed Acts The Auto Dropouts Rob McCulloch Von Kleet Temposhark The Kits Red Blooded Women Conrad the Scoundral Les Oeufs Pinstripe 3am Narration Freerun Mr Derry Imperial Leisure

Smirnoff Electric Cabaret. Manchester Academy. November 27th.
30/09/2008
The Smirnoff Electric Cabaret is hitting Manchester on November 27th. Sorry. Did I lack enthusiasm? Okay, I’ll try again. SMIRNOFF ELECTRIC CABARET IS HITTING MANCHESTER ON NOVEMBER 27TH!!! There, now I’ve got your attention. The Original Nights event returns with a host of cutting-edge tunes, from some of the most cutting-edge artists, alongside some of the most cutting-edge cabaret acts. In other words, its proper cutting-edge. Here’s a run-down of who’s going to be performing. Sam Sparro: He may look a bit like a lady-boy, but you can’t help but wiggle your buttocks like a cat when you hear his tunes. You know? When they’re trying to be all sexy and start rubbing against your legs and stuff like proper little tarts. Sparro’s debut album, Black & Gold, was dubbed the ‘disco anthem of the year’ and it’s easy to tell why. Pat Mahoney: He’s the guy nominated for two Grammy’s as part of electronic, dance-punk shebang, LCD Soundsystem. At the Smirnoff Electric Cabaret, Pat will be teaming-up with DFA Records label-mate Juan Maclean, for a super massive, bangin’ great, Acid House revival set - paying homage to the Roland synthesizers that revolutionized the power of the dance. Now try saying that with a whole Ikea hot dog in your mouth. Hard isn't it? Das Pop: The three-part Belgian, one-part Kiwi electro pop outfit, will be making just about everyone (which could/should include you) jump up, take notice and dance like a bandy-legged giraffe on forty cans of Red Bull and three dozen Es. Providing an equally formidable dance sensation will be Devil’s Gun , whose incorporation of everything from breakbeat and electro, to house and clunky synths, have gained them plaudits the nation over. As per-usual there’ll be a whole host of cabaret acts performing, although details are currently sketchy and acts are TBC. We know that previous cabaret acts included ‘man-becomes-6ft-balloon’. The clues in the name; the appropriately named Bruce Airhead literally becomes a 6ft balloon. Anyway, Smirnoff will carry on the tradition of a free drink on entry and invite revelers to choose a drink by scent, using a special ‘snifter’. Which is basically a hand-blown glass nosing tube. Oh and you’ll be invited to delve into a fancy dress box and transform yourself for the night into whatever is available. A horse? A prince? A massive donger? Who knows? We do know that the Smirnoff Electric Cabaret will definitely be a good’n. It always is. Smirnoff Electric Cabaret 27th November 2008 Manchester Academy , Oxford Road , Manchester , M13 9PR 8.30pm – 2am Cabaret Acts: TBC Tickets: TBC Visit the Smirnoff Original Nights Facebook page for further updates and details.

Be@Proud w/Screaming Tea Party. Proud Galleries. September 27th.
24/09/2008
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. Be@Proud September 27th Proud Galleries, Horse Hospital, Stables Market, Camden, NW18AH, 8pm – 2.30am Tickets: £5 (before9) £8 (adv) £10 (otd) www.be-at.co.uk

Concrete and Glass. Throughout Shoreditch. Oct 2nd - Oct 3rd.
23/09/2008
This one’s literally just around the corner. As in next Thursday and Friday. As in we’re based in Shoreditch and so is Concrete and Glass. So, yep, it’s literally just around the corner. Anyway, it’s called Concrete and Glass and it’s set to be bloody massive! So massive that we’re going to keep this very short and very sweet and let the line-up do the talking. Which is totally unprecedented. But, as a one man team, Planet Notion has a shed load of crap to get through today, especially if I’m going to get my long overdue break at the end of the week. Anyway, I'll tickle your taste-buds with a few additions to Concrete and Glass, including the sexiest Swede since Sven-Goran Eriksson burst onto the radar, Lykke Li. Her electro-tinged, sweet-dripping pop is equally delicious. YUM! If David Bowie was American or something, he’d probably be the figure-head of Secret Machines. But he isn’t American and he isn’t their figure-head and they’re still great and much heavier and stuff, so happy days! Brighton’s finest, Fujiya and Miyagi, Dublin’s sublimest (sic), Fight Like Apes, and London's excellentist (double sic), Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man, will also be on hand to deliver their own bite of brilliance. Concrete and Glass will take place across 18 venues around Shoreditch, including 93 Feet East, Cargo, Catch, Hoxton Bar and Grill, Electricity Showrooms and Rough Trade East. Tickets are available at £22.50 or £35 from seetickets.com . For further information, including a full venue list and artist details, visit concreteandglass.co.uk The line-up… Art: A Foundation/ Artprojx / Contemporary Art Society/ David Blandy and Manasseh Sound System /Flora Fairbairn / Gerry Fox/ Mark Neville/ Saatchi Online / Matthew Donaldson presents Tony Gill / Riflemaker Gallery present work by Gavin Turk, Peter Davies, Yoko Ono, Julie Verhoeven, Liliane Lijn, Andrey, Bartenev Music: Thursday 2nd October 20 Jazz Funk Greats / Barringtone / Bass Clef / Beyond the Wizards Sleeve/ Blacktape DJs / Bloggers Delight presents / Bodies of Water / Casper C / Cats in Paris / Dead Kids / Errors / Ezra Bang (Hot Machine) / Flashguns / Frightened Rabbit/ Greco-Roman presents / Grovesnor / Huw Stephens presents / James Yuill / John Kennedy presents / Kid Harpoon / Lucius Works Here / Ludovico Einaudi / Lykke Li / Mechanical Bride / Merok presents / Muscleheads / O'Death / Pilooski + Dirty Sound System / Primary1 / Semi Finalists / Serious Presents / Skream (Disco Set) / Ten Thousand Islands / The Big Pink / The Oscillation / The Real Heat / Time Out Barcelona / Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs / Twisted Wheel / Wave Machines / Younghearts / Zun Zun Egui Music: Friday 3rd October Anni Rossi / Apes & Androids / Bjorn Torske / Border Community presents / CMN / David Thomas Broughton / Euros Childs / Fairmont Live / Holy Ghost Revival / James Holden / John Kennedy presents / Kim Hiorthoy / Kimmo Pohjonen / Kwaing Creasite & HMS Ginafore / Let's Wrestle / Lindstrom / Liz Green / Magistrates / Mathew Sawyer & The Ghosts / Micachu / One Little Plane / Oren Marshall / Owl Project / Pete and the Pirates / Port O'Brien / Rozi Plain (full band) / Screaming Tea Party / Sky Larkin / Small Town Super Sound / SND / Stolen Recordings / Sweet Baboo / Swn Fest presents / Telepathe / The Local presents / The Pictish Trail (full band) / Threatmantics / Truckers of Husk / TV On The Radio / Vladislav Delay / Wichita Recordings present / The Wire presents
