Jessie Pie’s four-piece band will be performing as Pie The Band, or Pie R Squared! – careering through a pie-ish platter of hot blues/jazz/rockesque weird and wonderful original songs and covers, providing multiple orgasms to all who fall within their radius! Moors is a terribly moreish music venue that stages lots of blues and live music and stays open until late. The band will hopefully start around 9pm and continue until midnight, or until angry neighbours descend waving compasses and protractors. So come, help us “calculate our aria”!

It’s Free!

THE YURTS AT THE WESTBOURNE STUDIOS

The heads behind E.T.A., Winterwell and Disco Caviar will host an unforgettable and  ‘intents’ night at The Westbourne Studioson Friday 27th November.  The evening promises to be one of amazing music and visual displays.

There will be live performances from acclaimed duo, The Nextmen.  This pair took the legendary E.T.A. Carnival Party by storm and are well loved for their unique blend of dancehall, drum ‘n’ bass, instrumental and actual hip hop.  Other acts will include The Jinks, Cleen Boys, and E.T.A residents Adrian and Jimmy V.

Westbourne Studios will be transformed into a bohemian paradise by several huge yurts powered by Funktion 1, who will be supplying one of their best sound rigs alongside state of the art lighting and visuals.  Sealed off in the yurts from the stresses of the outside world, revellers can dance the night away until dawn.

Head down to The Westbourne Studios on Friday 27th November for a night so good it yurts!

A celebration of the spirit of Rock n Roll

The Brickhouse supper club, bar and party venue launches one of the most exclusive underground parties in the capital, Whoreditch.

This monthly event will also serve as the ‘coming out party’ for The Good The Bad,

who celebrate their worldwide debut EP release ‘From 001-004’ on London’s freshest indie label Stray Cat Records.

Whoreditch taps in to the very essence of what makes Shoreditch such a cultural phenomenon: art, creation, fashion, music, flamboyance and sex – conjuring up the heady days of New York’s Studio 54.

Spread over three floors, The Brickhouse is the ultimate destination for a full entertainment and multi-sensory experience. From the ground floor cocktail bar and stage where guests can enjoy an extensive range of delicious cocktails, wine and champagne, to the beautiful white beds on the top floor where party-goers can relax, recline and chill-out while watching the band below.

Whoreditch will change the entertainment offering each month, focusing on showcasing one hot live music act along with a selection of DJs, dancers, snake charmers and other forms of entertainment which most reflect the style of our featured live music act.

The Good The Bad band hail from Copenhagen and have quickly risen to cult heroes among the rock n roll classes of Western Europe. The Killers invited them to exclusively play at their aftershow in London, one of their members was guitarist with The Raveonettes and from Roskilde to Hop Farm to a Harley Davidson European Rally they’ve taken the festival circuit by storm.

Clothing store MERC, audio maestros Capital Sound, new music magazine Clash Magazine and cult label 2SB are partnering with Whoreditch and The Brickhouse for this event.

1^stt Oct The Delta Ladies @ Cats Back in Putney

www.catsback.co.uk

About the Cats Back:

Some years ago, just before the landlord went on holiday, the pub cat disappeared, causing much concern among the regulars. A month later, after mine host’s return, in strolled the wayward feline, prompting him to write a notice reading, somewhat prosaically, “The cat’s back”. Much relief all round. Built in 1865 for lightermen on the Thames and Wandle, this vestige of a once-busy riverside stands defiant among blocks of new apartments. Its eccentricity is exemplified by an old globe-topped petrol pump on the pavement, dodgy Victorian photographs, a Calypso fruit machine (one old penny a go), Barbie dolls in glass cases and more. The bar offers a wide range of tempting food including lamb stew; Cumberland sausages and mash; cheese ravioli; spaghetti Bolognese; beef Stroganoff; and vegetarian spring rolls. Food is also served in the ornate first-floor dining room. Live music, from jazz to West African, can break out spontaneously.
