Shot By Both Sides

About me:

.. .. Shot By Both Sides are London's premier purveyors of arcane, outlandish and fantastical musical delights.

After wreaking havoc at such ruinous hives as Islington’s Old Queen’s Head and New Cross’ Amersham Arms, the night has spent several long months roaming the wilderness - the reanimated corpse shambling back into life for sporadic events.

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
