The the biggest and best rock'n'roll party for New Year's Eve 2007 is at the Dome, 1 Dartmouth Park Road, Tufnell Park, London N19 - with three great bands, and other fabulous entertainment, starting off with Lady Ane Angel and her Russian styled fire eating. Plus DJs Suave, Dirty PJ and Scratchy. Start off your new year at the BEST party in town!
Urban Voodoo Machine - With their lurching sea shanties, debauched murder ballads and whisky-soaked gypsy stomp, they’ve been compared to the likes Tom Waits and Nick Cave; others point out the last gang in town swagger of the Clash and the hellhound blues that John Lee Hooker first dragged out of the swamp.
Jim Jones Revue - Supercharged back-to-basics fifties rock’n’roll coming across like a collision between Little Richard and the MC5.
The Branded - Former guitarist with Thee Exciters and his Swedish-based raucous garage/R&B band.
Fire-Tusk Pain Proof Circus - Roll up! Roll up! Hang on to anything you can during this celebration of human folly and resilience. It's a high-octane phenomenon of real people, real risks and real skills. When the world seems grim, drab and bent on elf-destruction - it's time to send in the clowns!
Elephant Man Elvis - Ellyvis IS the Elephant Man Elvis. He is not an animal: he is the King. He is the stuff of small children's nightmares but his rendition of Elvis songs accompanied by Elephant Man slurps is pure genius.
Norma Guntz & her Tom Jones Tumour - Norma Guntz is the world's biggest Tom Jones fan with a heart-rending story of how she beat cancer the day she noticed that, in a certain light, her watermelon-sized tumour resembled the face of Tom Jones!
And more!
From 9pm till 6am upstairs in The Dome, entrance on Dartmouth Park Road, Tufnell Park N19.
The Boston Music Room will also be open, entry via the stairs from the Dome.
