drownedinsound would like to inform you of its next gig, and we're feeling very emo about it all.
The location: The Windmill, Brixton - which can be found on Blenheim Gardens, off Brixton Hill, about a 10-minute walk from Brixton tube station (cross over the road out of the station, walk left up Brixton Hill for a while and Blenheim Gardens is on the right. If you're lazy, there are plenty of busses).
The cost: 3 Earth Pounds
The time: 8pm till whenever
The date: Wed 24 July
The bands: WE BECOME LESS, VENETIAN LOVE TRIANGLE, CONTRA
WE BECOME LESS
There are three of them and they are LOUD. The singer/guitarist lives in
Aberdeen, the drummer in Falkirk, and the bassist in Edinburgh, so that
makes them very Scottish indeed, but not in a Proclaimers kind of way. They
say, "combining the emo-punk-core sentiments of 100 Reasons, the nu-metal
tightness of Lostprophets, the mind bending grooves of earthtone9, along
with many genres in-between", their second release on a nu Aberdeen label
currently has the working title of 'Emo For Dummies'. Cheeky.
ONSTAGE: 10.15pm
VENETIAN LOVE TRIANGLE
Along with Mercury Tilt Switch, 1" Volcano and Laeto, VLT are one of those
bands from Dundee's underground rock scene, and finish off their first
'proper' UK tour in fine style tonite. They claim Braid and Sonic Youth as
influences and have gigged with the likes of Jetplane Landing, The Pattern
and Clinic.
ONSTAGE: 9.30pm
CONTRA
Speed-punk from Aberdeen via Tunbridge Wells or something. Their last demo
was an ace blend of punk, rock'n'ska, and they have built up a healthly
following in their home-city to become one of the most-liked and popular
bands in the area. They've gained some suitable support slots with Capdown,
Lightyear and The Kennedy Soundtrack. And they are really bloody good,
alright?
ONSTAGE: 8.45pm
NOTE#1: We are running this 15 mins earlier cos it all ran overtime last week and people weren't happy. Tube strike didn't help much either.
NOTE#2: There may be flyers floating round London Town which have QUERELLE listed for this gig. Unfortunately they sadly had to cancel due to inter-band struggles.
NOTE#3: The next DiS gig has no Scottish bands playing whatsoever, which is a first.
