Bio
.. .... Founded in September 2006 by an independent collective dedicated to promoting the highest quality live music, creative arts and club events, the Boileroom has quickly garnered a reputation as one of the South East’s best live music venues. .. .. Renowned for its friendly atmosphere, top quality sound and diverse program of events the Boileroom is without doubt the focal point for Guildford’s burgeoning live music scene. Bands that have graced the Boileroom’s stage recently include Newton Faulkner, The Noisettes, Foals, Cage the Elephant, GlasVegas, Brakes, Abram Wilson, Errors, No Age, Youthmovies, Go:Audio, Acoustic Ladyland, Good Shoes, Akil The MC (Jurasic 5), In Case Of Fire, Brigade, Frank Turner, JJ Burnel (The Stranglers), Glen Matlock (The Sex Pistols), Belleruche, Pulled Apart By Horses, The Joy Formidable, Led Bib, Polar Bear, Trigger The Bloodshed and Mercury Award nominee Soweto Kinch. Not to mention DJ sets from Peter Hook formerly of New Order/Joy Division and Kele from Indie superstars Bloc Party. .. .. In addition to the Boileroom’s staple of Live Music and Club Nights, its intimate and flexible space has also borne witness to Film Festivals, Jazz Workshops, Art Installations, Spoken Word and Poetry Nights, D.I.Y Music and Arts Festivals, Creative Writing Workshops, as well as opening daily as a live music bar serving its increasingly renowned noodle menu. .. .. But more than any of this, what defines the Boileroom is its independent spirit; a burning desire to do something genuinely different, to break new ground and above all to take risks in the name of creative and artistic license. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ........ .. .. .. .... .... .... ........ .... ........ .... ........ .... .. ...... .... ........ .... ........ .... .......... .. ...... .. .... .. .... ..Wednesday November 4th.. The Chapman Family + Support.... After the huge success of The Chapman Family’s debut single’ ‘Kids’ earlier in the year, the Teeside quartet are back with a brand spanking new track entitled ‘Virgins’. Recorded with Dan Swift (Art Brut, Kasabian, The Futureheads) this second stand out single is due for release on 12th October through Electric Toaster. 'Kids' received critical acclaim across the board and gained fans at radio in the form of Zane, Lamacq, John Kennedy and a Record Of The Week nod from Chris Martin at NME radio. 2009 has already seen the band open the NME Radar tour, support Janes Addiction at a very special secret show and tour the UK and Europe as only they know how. If you’ve been unfortunate enough to miss their trademark live shows, then catch them over the next few months….. ..Doors: 7:00pm Entry: £6 Admittance: 18 +.... ..Advanced Tickets Available ..Here........ ..Wednesday June 2nd.. Run Walk + Get The Tape.... Signed to Holy Roar Records, Run Walk fizz through epic tracks with a combination of aggressive guitars, jarred timing and quirky rhythm. With four releases to date, Run Walk are a band definitely on the up. "run, walk! stand in a unique position in todays post post hardcore landscape. while effortlessly sliding in a group hug with the likes of shellac, fugazi et al, they maintain a scuffed-up british mentality. wielding a grasp of dynamic songwriting not unlike fellow angular travelers bloc party, it sounds so much more thrilling married to the tradition of balls-out noise rock." Rough Trade Records "run,WALK! are the type of band that cause car crashes. They refine chaos: songs like 'Trees Are Raw' shouldn't be so catchy and addictive, and that's terribly distracting. They make such a brilliant noise that attempting to concentrate on anything else is futile" 8/10 Rocksound.. ..Doors: 7:00pm.. Entry: £5.. Admittance: 18+.... .. .. ..Friday 4th June.. Unwanted Ft. Casper C.... Unwanted presents Casper C - a very busy DJ & promoter behind London parties such as Bloggers Delight, Adventures In The Beetroot Field, Field Day, Stag & Dagger and his all new Gyre & Gimble night... In 2006, after throwing various small parties in many pubs, bars and local sports clubs a group of friends decided to put on a festive bash for the best night of the year: Christmas eve. The night was named 'Unwanted Wooly Garments' for its festive theme, tomfoolery and good times. This was when 'unwanted' was born... ..Doors: 7:30pm.. Entry: £6 adv / £7.. Admittance: 18+.... .. .. ..Sunday 6th June.. Crooked Mountain Crooked Sea + Angry Boy + White Sunday + Muscle Club.... Crooked Mountain, Crooked Sea are a Brighton based four piece who make a post-rock/post-hardcore racket along the lines of Fugazi, Cursive, and Drive like Jehu. In 2009 they recorded a debut EP described by reviewers as 'a shouty delight', 'a raw, atonal blast of alt-rock' and 'astonishingly mature'. The band came to the forefront of the Brighton scene, playing shows in nearly every venue and sharing stages with the likes of Itch and Everyone to the Anderson, as well as being played and interviewed on BBC 6 music by Tom Robinson. 2010 will see them taking their sounds elsewhere with the release of their absolutely brilliantly titled second EP 'It's the Falling That Counts, Not the Landing'. You definitely need to check this out!.. '...poised somewhere between the visceral rock of At The Drive In and the emo complexity of Brand New, the EP is astonishingly mature and announces Crooked Mountain, Crooked Sea as a band to follow.' The Devil Has the Best Tuna Blog 'The ideas are executed well and the vocals are tremendous throughout. Ones to watch, for sure.' Punktastic.com.. 'I actually think these guys have got something...' Artrocker.com.. ..Doors :7:00pm.. Entry: £5.. Admittance: 18+.... .. .. ..Wednesday 9th June.. No Consequence + Safety Fire + Theoretical Downfall + Kraken.... With disregard for playing by the rules that may cause a few old school puritans to retch in horror, No Consequence are the quintessential modern metal band. With a solid spine of tech-death intricacy, huge swathes of Architects-style atmosphere and smartly executed bursts of everything from brutal grind to razor-sharp thrash, their sound is a bravely limitless amalgam of every credible sub-genre.’ Terrorizer ‘The debut album from UK metallers No Consequence is a foreboding, storming assault of accomplished and savagely focused technicality and intricate song writing’ Rocksound ‘Surfing on a wave of confidence generated by the completion of an excellent debut album ‘In The Shadow of Gods’ these Thames Valley terrors seem unlikely to be put of by a dash of misfortune. Instead, they take the all-out attack approach, tearing into songs from the album with infectious enthusiasm; a six-man whirlwind of energy and technical dexterity, propelled along by nothing more than a collective to the cause.’ Metal Hammer (live review).. The Safety Fire take to the stage in a maelstrom of arms, guitars and well-conditioned hair. The Sections EP is a glimpse into the multi-faceted style they have created; merging the complex and technical nature of progressive and polyrhythmic metal, with expansive atmospheres and soaring melodies... The Safety Fire formed in London, 2006 creating their own brand of progressive metal, with their latest EP showing the fruits of their labour. The EP also features guest solos from Martin Goulding (Linear Sphere) and Pin (Sikth) on the title track. More gigs and news to be announced shortly... Help support the New Wave of British Progressive Metal and spread the word.. ..Doors: 7:00pm.. Entry: £4.. Admittance: 16+.... .. .. ..Friday June 11th.. The Victorian English Gentlemens Club + FOE + Evryone.... The Victorian English Gentlemens Club are guitars basses drums and lungs in Cardiff. They will freely describe their music as Pop although they sometimes play songs without a chorus. It has also been described as Rock, although they have been known to use an acoustic guitar, and Punk, despite their enjoyment of effects pedals and natural fibres. They have just completed recording their second album was released to great critical acclaim in 2009. They are currently working on their third, which will be released towards the end of the year. A new track will be offered as a free download to coincide with the June tour... ..Doors: 7:30pm.. Entry: £5.. Admittance: 18+.... .. .. ..Saturday 26th June:.. Hipslinky + Cities Of Glass + Charlotte Clarke.... Signed to Genius twin Recordings, Hipslinky produced one of the most critically acclaimed classic albums of the early millennium (NME 7/10 UNCUT 4/5 ROCKSOUND 4/5), despite skating under many people's radar... Now de-camped in a home made Barn in deepest Sussex, always described as eccentric, their warped inventiveness and clear intent is back: pop sensibilities jostle with all the right influences from Talking Heads to Edwyn Collins, the idea of Indie getting a slice of danceability ain't new, but when played like this these songs aren't borrowings or overtly indebted to any other band. These chap's tunes are full of ingenuity and of course, above all, Pop.........sing, dance and enjoy....... Cities of Glass kicked up a storm with their recent EP, 'Breathe in, Breathe out'. This, their second visit to the Boileroom, will see them showcase eagerly anticipated follow up material. Expect more massive choruses and epic melodies. Opening the night will be Charlotte Clark, who provides the link between Radiohead and Beyonce. There are lots of girls with guitars, but not many with as much talent as this one... ..Doors: 7:30pm.. Entry: £5.. Admittance: 14+.... .. .. ..Tuesday 29th June.. Hot Club De Paris.... Hot Club de Paris mark their eagerly-awaited return in 2010 with a brand-new 6 song EP entitled “With Days Like This As Cheap As ChewingGum, Why Would Anyone Want To Work?” (A phrase generously loaned by acclaimed British poet Matthew Welton). Still operating with their usual punk-rock ethic and still proudly flying the flag for British DIY. Hot Club are now self producing and recording themselves in their Liverpool rehearsal space. Moshi Moshi will be taking care of the release which is available on both download and a super-limited hand-numbered 10” vinyl... ..Doors: 7:00m.. Entry: £6.50/£7.50 adv/door..
