   About The Flesh Happening

"You know that special demo that only lands once a year, the one that stops everything, the one thats so good it takes you an age to try and get down how good it is. The excellently named band have a frantic sound Proper Punk Energy and attitudes like the Buzzcocks, Iggy or the first days of those Manics when You Loved Us. The Flesh Happening are urgent urgent urgent."
- The Organ
“The Flesh Happening, undoubtedly the greatest band in Brighton”
– Meatbreak BBC6
"This band dive headfirst into places most people fear to, both musically and lyrically, with live shows proving they are in possession of the best frontman in town"
– The Brighton Source
"Filth. Degredation. Power. Glamour. Hitler. Bowie. A grandmotherlover in a gimp mask. Lick your lips and get stuck into The Flesh Happening."
– Jon Hillcock - XFM
“You know how glam flirted with gayness but got coy before it got too dirty, the forces of straight acceptability moving in and turning it into a minor facet of the bloke-ish personality? Well The Flesh Happening take it back for the queers, drag it into an alley behind a really scary bar and rape it back to life. They are the answer to the big men at Morrissey gigs who fancy a quick weep before their next fight. Angry, squealy, arresting and the only band that has made me uncomfortable in the twenty-first century. they are one of very few Brighton bands more interesting than having a cigarette outside.”
– Julia Indelicate

STAY SICK!!! SAT 19th JULY


Is Online


Jul 7 2008 5:44 AM

After the mess we made and the damage we did last month, Hector's House went to hospital. When they got there they were rushed into intensive care where they were placed on a life support machine and treated for shock and trauma.

LUCKILY, they didn't die and so Stay Sick! is back but 2 weeks late due to the doctor ordering them to rest easy.

This month we'll be starting on FRIDAY 18th JULY at Hobgoblin with Goo Goo Muck and won't be finishing until the early hours of Sunday. Maybe it'll be you in a hospital bed this time.


At Stay Sick! on the SATURDAY 19th JULY, we have the incredible RADIO CITY RIOT playing live psychotic rockabilly, so make sure you bring your dancing shoes. As normal there will be us bad boys playing music your mum would hate as well as showing boobs and B movies all night long. We've got the bar cheap again and we should have free pool if all goes to plan.

Don't forget its FREE FREE FREE so we don't want to hear your half arsed excuses FREE!

Join us for another Big City Redneck Presents! Another wonderful eruption, nay, ejaculation of good music at the Buffalo Bar this month!

What can I say? We won’t disappoint.

Buffalo Bar
June 19th
£6 on the door…
8.30pm till they kick us out…

Mama Shamone – THESE GUYS AREN’T PLAYING LIVE (except one acoustic) EXCEPT AT GLASTO FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR!
http://www. myspace. com/mamashamone
“Put Mama Shamone on at any venue and they are likely to take the roof off, this was one of the best live shows I’ve seen in years - certainly one of the best in London. In my opinion these guys are destined for greatness, it felt like I was witnessing history being shaped-something was just so right about what they were doing up there.” Vibe Bar

We Yes You No
www. myspace. com/weyesyouno
“We Yes You No sing about the end of the world, the end of everything. But in an apocalypse that would sound like this I would buy god’s last EP” – Big City Redneck

Language
http://www. myspace. com/languageuk
“"The verbosity of funk, the poetic twang of intelligent pop. The bridge between Franz Ferdinand and Smashing Pumpkins perhaps" – Bugbear

hola The Flesh Happening ! qué tal? yo aquí escribiendo todo el día este mismo saludo a todos mis friends. ya hasta las teclas que uso en este mismo estúpido e insípido recadito están como los jeans que usa mi papá para bañar al perro. ojalá tuviera algo más deinspiración. pero te aseguro que si llega la usaré para una rola, no para andar bombardeando myspace con saludos desnutridos. ayós! besitos!
