Fri 28 Apr – Flipron
Imagine a man in a pink suit, sitting on a box, sputtering Neo-Dickensian rants about being chased by pensioners as he plays a cheap accordion to a band that sound like the Bad Seeds playing The Jungle Book. Or The Specials playing Jacques Brel. Or The Crazy World of Arthur Brown playing Western Swing on Waikiki Beach. Or the Kinks locked in the London Dungeon with a barrel of ale and Thomas De Quinceys personal stash. Imagine all these things and more because once you have stepped into the mystical world of Flipron, you had better be ready for one or two surprises.
Flipron were formed by multi-instrumentalist Jesse Budd as a personal music therapy exercise to help him manage his obsessions with old people, monkeys, Hawaiian guitars, skeletons, charity shop records and tarting about in Italian suits and ostentatious shoes.
They are the sound of easy listening ravaged by punks. They are the sound of folk fondled by lounge lizards. They will amuse and confuse you. They are Flipron.
”They plough a furrow intriguingly distant from most of the contemporary cliché zones. Budds small crisp voice may recall Neil Tennant, Marc Almond or even (help) Al Stewart, but his songs evoke both Jacques Brel’s Disque Bleu angst and Ray Davies off hand anecdotalism with his hyper literate, densely rhymed lyrics” Observer Music Monthly
8pm - 1am FREE
Sat 29 Apr – DJ Eric Soul's Afrogroov
Eric Soul’s forum for semi-acoustic up and coming talent, crews and collectives from the African diaspora. Twice a month (second Weds and last Sat of the month) DJ Eric Soul spins us a mix that takes in Dakar, Rio, London, Paris and many more ports of call. Following in the footsteps of Khethi, Sanchita Furruque and D’Banj, each night includes a guest performer adding the vital live ingredient for the evening’s proceedings.
8pm – 12am FREE
Sun 30 Apr - Menino Josue's Liquidificador
