About me: Shot By Both Sides are London's premier purveyors of arcane, outlandish and fantastical musical delights.
Disregarding the patronising idiocy of bargain-bin indie nights, SBBS offers a ramshackle assortment of music, poetry, performance, spoken-word and strange men leering. Influenced by everything from the Antifolk scene to C86, from beat-poetry through to Rick Wakeman's 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth', it is a heady, kaleidoscopic and keck-soiling experience. Doubtlessly topped-off with some silly haircuts.
Expect a thrilling soundtrack of wonky psych, gritty '60s garage, gnarled folk, freakout jazz, rockabilly, C86 indie and Northern Soul, poetry, stories, free ‘zines, various handouts, literature/tape exchange, some peculiar visual treats, cakes, a few out-of-the-hat surprises and some sensational live sets...

NOTE TO BANDS: If you would like to grace the ShotByBothSides stage, feel free to message this MySpace. However, we still recommend the rather quaint and old-fashioned manner of coming along to a gig and giving us some music in-person. Rather archaic, we know...
To book the ShotByBothSides DJs simply message us here. Alternatively, we're available on shotbybothsidesclub@yahoo.co.uk

I know I start training for my teaching position on the 6th and it will be ongoing for a few more months but hopefully we can work something out. the extra coin i make from taking those paid surveys online helps out alot tho; you should really do them too; i mean, hey, the extra money comes in handy, right? i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:
