Forthcoming shows:
CARRIE ELKIN & DANNY SCHMIDT: NOVEMBER 26th: THE PRINCE ALBERT. Your last chance, Sinners...
The Gilded Palace of Sin posse has been bringing the best in Americana and alt.country to the South Coast town of Brighton for the past nine years. Along the way they have built a loyal, hardcore following: thanks to some of those people, this MySpace page was created. Drop us a line if you're into the same thing, if you've been to a show or have something to share with us. We'd love to hear from you.
Catch the Gilded Palace Radio Show on Totally Radio every week, if you want to hear more of these kind of sounds. The most recent show (for 1st week of October) features an EXCLUSIVE interview with Canadian ROB LUTES, fresh from supporting EILEN JEWELL -as well as new tracks from MALCOLM HOLCOMBE, THE MOTHER HIPS and MOLINA/JOHNSON...m-m-m!
Advance tickets (for all TGPoS shows) are always available from:
RESIDENT RECORDS in KENSINGTON GARDENS in the North Laines, (01273) 606312
and from PUNKER BUNKER on SYDNEY STREET.
All outlets charge a minimal booking fee - but are lovely people for selling our tickets, so we don't mind too much! You can also buy online at We Got Tickets
Who I'd like to meet: Dolly Parton, Souled American, Neil Young, Matthew Sweet, Eric Matthews, Bob Dylan and anyone with more than a passing interest in good music.
The Jim Jones Revue play a special XFM 14+ show at The Barfly in Camden this Monday. The show will be recorded and broadcast on John Kennedy's XFM Xposure radio show throughout November.
The Curst Sons headline at Hove Town Hall on Nov 13 for Children In Need. They are the only Americana act on the bill but as your friends will know they never fail to deliver and at £5 on the door (£4 students) or £4 in advance you can't go wrong. They are due on around 10.15. Music lovers generally may in any event enjoy the rest of the line up which includes the one man electronoic wizzard Xanthus, and indie rockers Clayton Strange and the hotly tipped Heel Catch Fire. Keep up the good work you righteous sinners.
