   The Good Ship's Blurbs
About me:
We are at 289 Kilburn High Road, in between The Tricycle and The Luminaire in the richest cultural 50 metres in London. Born on 2nd September 2005, The Good Ship is an unusual vessel. First and foremost it is a live music venue but on Friday and Saturday nights it turns into a nightclub and during the week when the bands finish its a late bar til 2am. We put on all sorts of other stuff though including top drawer stand up comedy for a stupidly cheap price every Monday, a fantastic spoken word night called wordPLAY on the first Tuesday of the month, a super dooper pop quiz on the second Tuesday of each month, , film nights, local designer fashion sales, art exhibitions. In fact we will put on anything that we like the sound of, give us your suggestions. Oh, and we try and sell stuff that other music venues do not, so none of that Carling rubbish but a good selection of wines and real ale in tap and bottle. We have a 100 cd juke box which is free and has great stuff on it like Sonic Youth, Tom Vek, MGMT, Stevie Wonder, The Specials, Interpol, Burning Spear and a load of Nuggets and Rough Trade compilations. We like all sorts of music so play all sorts too. Expect to hear bands of an indie/postpunk/electro/antifolk/profolk well almost anything goes really as long as we like the sound of it. Opening hours: Sun - Thurs till 2am Fri - Sat till 4am. Usually at weekends it is free entry before the bands start and a fiver after. Check in what's on. BANDS...please pop us a message rather than just adding us. We like a chat so if you wanna play then get in touch. We will not bite. At the start of 2009 we have invested heavily in kit and acoustic treatment so that the sound is pretty splendid. Also we have absolutely no time for the very common practice of ripping aspring bands off. We pay 100% of the door take to bands and sound engineer rather than some insulting percentage that most London venues see fit to offer. Plus we will put you on a bill with other bands that we think you will like. Andrew from The Special Needs (RIP) gives us a nice namecheck on http://www.nme.com/news/the-needs/21831
Who I'd like to meet:
Drinkers with a friendly demeanour.
