The Brickhouse hosts new monthly night Whoreditch

Monday, November 2nd, 2009


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.

Danse Macabre, a folk-rock-pop cabaret band from South-East England, formed in London, UK in October 2007 after vocalist Ash invited various friends to create a band with a strong visual image and a gothic rock sound. Ash was initially joined by bassist Steph and vocalist, guitarist and violinist Taylor (who also performs with Helen’s Evil Twin). The band’s very first performance was a short acoustic set at Blush, Stoke Newington on 25 May 2008 as part of the Girls Out Loud music festival. Ash, Taylor and Steph were briefly joined by drummer Julie (who plays on the first EP), reverted to a trio again in early 2009, before finally recruiting Helen (also of Helen’s Evil Twin) to fill the vacant drum stool. Danse Macabre have been performing regularly in London and beyond since 2008, including a set at both the 2008 and 2009 Worcester Music Festival.

Danse Macabre’s influences are wide. Ash came from a background of performing with hard rock acts, while songwriters Taylor and Steph are influenced by cabaret, musical theatre, pop and folk-rock. The band’s songs, characterised by bright tunes and bittersweet lyrics, have been described as folk-goth, quirky pop and even progressive rock. Danse Macabre released their first EP, The Golden Age of Ballooning, in October 2008 on their own Prozakville Records label.

The band have a website at www.dansemacabre.co.uk and have a MySpace page at www.myspace.com/dansemacabrelondon.

Delta Ladies gig this week at the Cats Back Putney

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Up & coming gigs for the Delta Ladies include:

1stt 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.
