atomic suplex in Brixton this friday

[Badgers]

Are they any good?

 

[editor]

Totally geek pie.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

We are on about 9.25 but make it 9.00pm to be safe as we don't stay on for long.
Also the other bands look kind of fun anyway.

JUNKYARD CHOIR
Junkyard Choir formed in early 2005 in south London. They began to play songs about monkeys, saving the world, Santiago & smoking without fire! The band has been described as 'Contorted, energetic waltzy Polka-blues rock'.
In 2007 they self-released the EP 'Trying to save the world' and followed it up with last year's 'Delope'

PHILADELPHIA MAINLINE
Signed to the good folks at BANG! Records, this two-piece features the talented Christian Muncey (whose brother happens to be in a little known Aussie band called JET!) on guitar and Matt Veal on drums. Together they have built an arsenal of sonic onslaughts that sound like the Black Keys handing their souls to the devil. A band that mixes the raw energy of the White Stripes to the ballsiest, bluesiest and dirtiest ballads that Tom Waits might conjure up after a particularly violent drinking session. Alternative music bible, The Stool Pigeon is a big fan stating that the band employ the most rudimentary of guitar lines to weave their Holy Golighty-ish R&B menace with a 13th Elevators spin. Great vocals and twangy blues guitar. Definitely a set that will get people talking.

ATOMIC SUPLEX
Distorto-garage rock quintet with new split single with The Swankers out now!
his is probably what Bill Haley sounds like if you have the worst tinnitus in the world. Not so much a sonic cathedral as a sonic corrugated iron shed. - Time Out

LANA
Before the noisier stuff starts we have a real gem in the shape of Lana and her fine band of Latino-flavoured country blues troubadours. Something speacila indeed. Onstage at 8.30pm

Friday 16th January
London, Brixton Windmill
Lana / Philadelphia Mainline / Atomic Suplex / Junkyard Choir
Sultry-voiced songwriter Lana is on a one-woman mission to wrestle jazz from slightly disturbing men with pencil 'taches and make it sexy again. Having performed at Glasto and legendary London jazz venue Ronnie Scott's, we'd say she's winning the battle. Whether anyone will be in the mood for jazz after they've witnessed the devilish stomp of Philadelphia Mainline's scuzz-blues is another matter though. The duo make The White Stripes look about as ballsy as 2Unlimited and their cracker of a debut EP, which reached our very hands last week, sounds like a Tasmanian Devil Brian Wilson. Atomic Suplex, meanwhile, are a more full-throttle kind of affair, making the sort of tinnitus-inducing garage-rock that might just see the audience soil its collective pants. They'll have to wait til after Junkyard Choir to clean up, mind - their mariachi-esque polka-rock might sound like John Candy's band in Uncle Buck but the South Londoners are not to be missed. Not that you could miss a polka-blues band in Brixton, but that's not the point...

So would I be right in thinking that you are more makers of ear-splitting noise than music?

There is a solid musical (and I like to think theatrical) element to our art.

there is no need to run away, that is exactly how i think we would ddescribe ourselves anyway, except there are pop songs hidden underneath there too

[rutabowa]

[El Jefe]

i really want to come but I'm broke. A friend is offering to "sponsor me" for the night so I'm vacillating

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

It's alright though. The Governor took the chicken wire away from the front of the stage as he couldn't afford to keep replacing it

Harder to throw at rutabowa

 

[twistedAM]

Please keep the stage tidy for Philadelphia Mainline who are on later. They never did anything to you.

 

[twistedAM]

Am i the first one back?
I remained sober (things to do today yabba yabba) despite the sweet aroma of Jagermeister filling the air.
Enjoyed the gig by the way.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Bit early for you Twisted.

Did you have any Jaegermeister? Did you have any arguments with walls or pavements?

Read above post.
I left Employee of the Month in charge of sounds and a shed full of Aussies getting hammered.
No Jager until my birthday when we shall be experimenting with champagne and Jager bombs. I think you should have one.

You didn't say you didn't have any, just that you remained sober

Thanks for your kind offer but I don't want to have any arguments with brick walls or pavements

No danger of that; a champagne and jager bomb will give you wings
