Hello All
Happy New Year! I hope you have settled into 2012 comfortably and are ready for more incredible gigs coming your way this month. Quite a few are free so take advantage and maybe even take a chance on a few?
The Musical Comedy awards kick us off and The Wilmington Players are back to wow you their Chicago style long form improv. Then we have an Opera. I know, high brow. Luckily it’s about social networking and in English so will be awesome. Communion team up with DMP to bring us incredible music along with favourites Death and Glory and Which Way Is Up!
Much Love

DEATH AND GLORY Thursday 12th January 2012
|
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Right, that’s that over with, now for the rock’n’roll. We’re kicking this year off in style with four fantastic acts from all over the South East of England. So, put on your new socks, squeeze back in to your skinny jeans and get the hell down to the Wil...mo. Oh and we’ve moved to 2nd Thursdays now so make sure you make a note in your brand new diaries! Bobby Petrov
Here at Death & Glory we are huge supporters of very new artists and sometimes this throws up absolute gems. Bobby Petrov were one such gem when we first had them on as young pretenders but they are coming back to claim their throne as fully fledged alt-kings. These High Wycombe boys have produced a track in Tipi that is like Vampire Weekend with balls and in Ole Worm is like Everything Everything, Dutch Uncles and Bloc Party having a furiously paced jam in your kitchen. Basically we expect Bobby Petrov to explode on to the scene in 2012. Like a nail bomb but with half the nails replaced with jelly snakes. Just coz. The Dead End
You know when you hear a band for the first time and within the first song you can hear about 12 of your favourite artists? Well, that’s the Dead End. When I first heard their track The World We Live In, I heard the strains of very early Feeder or Red Kross and then it moved in to the scratchy rawness of Ash with Jeff Buckley on vocals. Elements of latter day Arctic Monkeys are there and the swagger of the Libertines in their heyday. The influences are all good and the way that the Dead End mesh them together is equal parts beautiful and chaotic – just as new music should be! Analogue Manilow
Regular Ravenous followers will be aware of the wondrous thing that is The B of the Bang. Well, Analogue Manilow are an off-shoot and, as side projects go, they are mighty fine. Rumoured to be the nephews of Mr Barry Manilow, this Portsmouth based trio play a brand of indie-grunge that has been forgotten by airwaves in recent years. We’re talking big riffs and plenty of crashy cymbals but with that oh-so-English trait of finely sculpted songwriting. This will be their first gig in London so come on down and make them feel welcome. Especially the drummer, who is called The Myth. Fact. Canvey Island
Right, we know this chap was booked in a few months ago and had to cancel but we aren’t ones to hold grudges. Plus, we just really like him. Chris Farrance (for he is the afore mentioned Island) is one of those quiet types that you only ever hear about on the news after he’s killed someone. In actual fact, he’s not plotting a mass murder, he spends his time forming masterful, luscious, musical landscapes the build, one layer at a time, in to something of epic proportions. It’s a beautiful thing he does so you should get down early to make you catch him live. Especially as he may be a serial killer so his performances could be confined to prisons and psychiatric wards soon. Probably not though... As always, we open at 8ish, first band on at 8.30ish and it’ll cost you just £4....no ish.

JIM CAMPBELL EDINBURGH PREVIEW + JAY FOREMAN Thursday 19th January 2012

Jim and Jay are previewing their full length Edinburgh 2012 shows for the princely sum of £0! Come down and marvel as they throw the following at you... Jim Campbell – 9 Year-Old-Man Jim Campbell is approaching 30 but doesn't feel anywhere near as grown up as this sounds. To him you become a man at 21 so he will soon be a 9 year-old-man. In this show he attempts to work out how this passing of time has happened and what needs to be done about it. He has been a finalist in four major stand up competitions, including So You Think You're Funny and the Amused Moose Laugh Off, and also appeared in the Pleasance Comedy Reserve in 2011. “Exquisite...His set is rich with beautifully phrased jokes and observations...it’s hard to imagine a subject he couldn’t come up with an original and literate joke about...an impressive routine, delivered with confidence and insightful wit.” – Chortle. “An exciting new talent” - Tim Arthur, Time Out. “His performance goes from strength to strength...his delivery is snappy and sharp, with plenty of witty lines to enjoy.” – Spoonfed.co.uk "Jim Campbell is really funny; plus his delivery reminds me a bit of mine - when I used to have more energy." – David Baddiel. Jay Foreman Jay Foreman is a guitar-based musical comedian, fresh from supporting Dave Gorman on his UK tour. Jay's songs blend delicate acoustic guitar with catchy melodies and surreal, often melancholy lyrics. You'll still be humming them long after you've stopped laughing. BBC New Talent Pick of the Fringe Musical Comedy Awards - Best Newcomer 2009 Bedford New Comedian of the Year 2010 **** "Sharp and sophisticated… a Victoria Wood for the Spotify generation." (Steve Bennett, Chortle) ***** "Laugh-out-loud jokes aplenty… utterly engaging" (ThreeWeeks)
