About me:
Sunday 24th May - Hoxton Bar and Kitchen,
7pm - 11:30pm, £8 Women + A Grave with No Name + Thee Fair Ohs + Toe Hammer
Here's some press for Women. Pretty special and, when they played WH
back in Feb they sold the place out and wowed the crowd. I would say
that so if you've not already checked them out now could well be the
time to...
A Grave with No Name meanwhile have been on tour with the Big Pink,
gracing a rather wonderful No Pain in Pop compilation album and playing
gigs with the great and the good left right and sometimes in London
as well. Plus, of course, wowing crowds all around the country.

"These Women sure are hot." - News Of The World
"The beauty of this band is that they don't sound wantonly eclectic,
more that in forcibly erasing any sense of identity in their music they've
stumbled upon the perfect hiding place, an album that sounds like an
eerily beautiful echo of itself." - Drowned in Sound
"An archetype of indie rock of the last 20 years, the Canadian
band seek, in the most guileless way, to join a lineage of classic songwriting."
- Guardian Guide
Tuesday 26th May - Madame JoJo's - 8pm - £5 Adv / £6 Door Duchess Says (EP Launch) + DiD + Bang Bang Eche
Backyard (home of the Gossip) are putting out some records by Canada's
Duchess Says (or DCHSS SYS possibly) and we're right excited about hosting
the launch party. DiD are partly post-punk and entirely over from Italy
to show us how we should be doing it. Duchess Says will be onstage at 21:30. Did at 22:15 and BBE
opening!

Tuesday 2nd June - Madame JoJo's - 8pm - £5 Adv / £6 Door Jeremy Jay + Planet Earth + Ark People
To simply rip off the biog on the K Records site would be both lazy
and very, very easy. So here it is: Jeremy Jay is a mixture of a storyteller, artist and singer. Following
a series of 7" singles, he released his debut LP, A Place Where
We Could Go on K in Spring 2008. Currently, he splits his time between
living in Paris and Los Angeles, the dream cities of the French New
Wave and Hollywood. Similar to films, Jeremy identifies with the visual
stories of life and love, and touches on everything human; he is always
in the process of writing and recording, playing the guitar and taking
walks to new places. Jeremy is getting acquainted to living in Paris,
but still draws much of his inspiration from American artists like Andy
Warhol and iconic teen filmmaker John Hughes.
Planet earth are a tiny bit more local, really rather delicate and Lo
Fi, very good and connected to Young and Lost who we like very much.
Ark People will be gracing our stage for the second time and this quote
made me laugh and isn't completely inaccurate: "Sort of a mix
of Beirut and Interpol, the pair produce a grandiose version of the
dark pop that current next-big-thingers White Lies are riding the wave
of, but without the Killers comparisons." Yep. No Killers
comparisons here. Thank. God.

Tuesday 9th June - Madame JoJo's - 8pm - £8 Adv / £9 Door The Pains of Being Pure at Heart + Trailer Trash Tracys + Pocketbooks
Some very exciting new bands for you here, from America TPoBPaH make
some lo-fi twee while from the UK TTT's are also Lo Fi but perhaps a
bit more lush or something? Quoth those friends of ours over at Transparent
:"...a strange flowering freak-pop fantasia that sees ELIZABETH
FRASER‘s most oil spilt, sea swimming nightmares eternally looping
in glorious, grainy technicolor and I kind of want to wade into the
middle of it."
