Fri 28 Feb 19:30pm
On Friday February 28th we shall convene at our east London altar of Pop once more for a late evening / early morning party that swings like a Jonathan Richman cameo on Cliff Richard’s rollerskates in a Russ Meyer film, with Z-Man’s hat rising off his head on the sidewalk.
Flowers, about to release their first album on Fortuna Pop!, have a dirty, fuzzy sound with a certain warmth that makes the hairs on your neck stand up; like The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Joy Division possessed by the ghosts of lost lovers in a Tarkovsky dream, or the Cocteau Twins necking White Ace under Blackfriars Bridge – http://flowersdomusic.bandcamp.com/track/you-held-you-my-hand
The Death of Pop, up second on the night, have songs conceived in the slipstream of The Cure and the rolling rapids of Felt; swirling, pulsing nuggets that dance like beautiful notes in the margins of the Pop history you love – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv2L6DDimAI
And Chorusgirl, playing their first ever gig, are a rocket ship of janglepop ready to fly like Lush and The Breeders taking Vespas down Bethnal Green Road with Conny and the Bellhops, flashing Vs and blowing smokerings on their way to spraypaint Zane Lowe’s gravestone – https://soundcloud.com/chorusgirl/alone
Oh, and bring that friend you know you like, because at 11, like a tear down the cheek of Cabiria on a distant clifftop, Kerouac’s bandanna will slip onto the lampshade, creating a lovely red hue for the fractured ghosts of swing jazz, 60s girl groups, garage and rock’n’roll to join the most shimmering, pulsing and fuck off new wave, riot grrrl and indiepop in a dancio disco till 3am.
