CLUB HELL





Jun 24 2009 10:15 PM



CLUB HELL PRESENTS:
F*CK GLASTONBURY
Sick of wasting 200 quid at Glastonbury to wade about in muck on bad drugs watching Sting with a bunch of hippies?
There is an alternative.
And it's better than suicide.
You would be silly not to take it.
It is Club Hell.
It's The Party At The End Of The Line.

HEAT FROM A DEADSTAR
"Spooky guitars morph into the sound of crying monsters, and twisty time signatures barrage their way through brick walls...brings to mind My Bloody Valentine or the ethereality of early Mogwai. Currently holed up in Steve Albini’s studio in Chicago, HFADS are potentially stratospheric."
God Is In The TV 
"Deadstar is a repository for all the emotions we don't know how to put into words... "
Etherised Zine 

THE SUICIDAL BIRDS
PONY PACK
Two explosive Dutch girl bands. They are not like The Spice Girls. They are very angry about something. They could have easily taken out Courtney Love back in the day.
If you missed early Hole/The Breeders/Veruca Salt/the Riot Grrrl thing the first time 'round, see this. Or find 'em in Holland; last London show.

MARCIA MELLO A busking girl and her guitar playing ragtime pre-war blues from Provincetown, Massachusetts. Covers of people like Memphis Minnie, Blind Blake  and Blind Lemon Jefferson...
"One of the best guitarists I've ever heard" - Nick Marsh (Urban Voodoo Machine/Flesh For Lulu)

DJ: KAMIKAZE U.T. (Corn Rocket Club: Badass Punk Rock n'Roll)
+ BEN HELL (Go-Go Mariachi Surf Garage Nonsense)..

Oooh, what I wouldn't have done to go to that ep launch last night. Sadly I am stuck in boring old Belgium (and not enjoying it much I must admit).
I hope you all had a wonderful time and I was there in spirit at least (hahaha).
Hope to be able to get my hands on your wonderful ep soon (there is no pre-order yet is there ?!).
I really need your gorgeous otherworldly beautiful sounds to take me out of my everyday drudge and transport me to a happier place, cause believe me, they always do!

love love love
