BRIDGET CHRISTIE - A ANT
Bridget Christie used to dress up as Charles II, talk about the English Civil War and pretend to be The Great Plague.  But this had no commercial value, so she gave up on that pointless nonsense.  This year she’s talking about cat-shit, priests and rude mothers. Bridget is supported by the first ever and so far the finest Ant comedian on the circuit, A Ant (Winner Nivea Funny Ant Competition 1993).  “Cheerful surrealist” (Guardian). “Utterly entertaining” (Times).   "Brilliantly, uniquely funny…what truly alternative fringe comedy should be" (Chortle).  “Like watching a young Frances De La Tour” (Barry Cryer).

8pm. £5

Odd Box is warming up for Indietracks by putting on this amazing pop show.

THE BLANCHE HUDSON WEEKEND (Leeds)
Top of the bill are The Blanche Hudson Weekend (featuring ex Manhattan Love Suicides, Darren and Caroline). The band are set to cause a stir with their first ever live appearance.

"Noise And Fury is a sugar laced melodic buzz bomb cemented by windswept effervescent skrees of MBV feedback albeit informed by a Ramones mindset" - Losing Today

BOY GENIUS (Brooklyn)
Boy Genius are doing a small UK tour before their appearance at Indietracks and I am delighted they're playing their only London show for Odd Box. The band have been firm favourites here since their 'Eureka' EP came out back in 2007. Three years on the band have released their 2nd full length 'Staggering' on Greenpop Recordings.

""Brooklyn quartet Boy Genius has the same no-fuss charm that characterized a lot of 80s college rock: simple hooks, harmonies and melodies, ringing guitars - reliable stuff" - Time Out New York

INSECT GUIDE (Leeds)
Formed in Leeds in late 2005, Insect Guide ? Su Sutton and Stan Howells ? have been sending ripples through the musical underground ever since thanks to their distinctive brand of DARK, CINEMATIC POP. Now expanded to a three piece by the addition of drummer Chris Cooper (Pale Saints) the band have recently recorded a session for Marc Riley on BBC 6 Music. Their 2nd LP" DARK DAYS & NIGHTS" is set to be released in July 2010 on Squirrel Records.

The band have picked up a lot of praise over the past few years:

?accessible and joyously barbed pop songs? - UNCUT (debut of the month)
"an irresistible pop masterpiece" - DROWNED IN SOUND
?a beautiful and idiosyncratic pop album? - SUBBA-CULTCHA

MICKTRAVIS (Blackburn)
Micktravis is the continuing alias of ex tompaulin songwriter Jamie Holman. Tompaulin enjoyed a three LP and seven single career, mostly with the fantastic Track And Field label; notching up two John Peel Sessions and shows all over Europe along the way. Jamie is now releasing records on the winterbird label and continues to write confessional songs about girls and fighting.

Also giving away a free 7" single by The Fischers (featuring Micktravis) for the first 50 people through the door!

Doors @ 7.30pm, First band on at 8.30pm.

£3.

CRUELLA RIBBONS (www.myspace.com/cruellaribbons)

Cruella was an Equation once. For those of you that knew Theoretical Girl then that will make sense. For the rest of you it’s a mathematical nightmare born from 101 Dalmations. But I digress. Cruella is actually an Aussie settled in London who goes by the name of Kelly White and writes damn fine grungey-pop songs.  P.I.X. Zine have described her as “Appealing, sultry and insightful” but the best description comes from the lady herseld; “If Liza Minelli had a baby with Courtney Love and saturated the child’s life with post punk girl bands and Dusty Springfield...this is what would come out”.  Tempted? You should be.

NATURE SET (www.myspace.com/natureset)

Sheffield’s Nature Set are still fairly young in band years but the experience and talent of their parts far outweigh this infantile state. With former members of the Long Blondes, Bon Bon Club and the Millipedes, Nature Set are something of a Sheffield super group and their first clutch of tunes is nothing to be sniffed at. If You Lived Here You’d Be Home By Now is already a brooding, and insanely catchy favourite at Ravenous towers. This will be their first London show so come on down and check out a bit of history in the making.

more info on the bands:

Mariner's Children http://myspace.com/benedictdaniel
The Mariner's Children are a 7 piece alt. folk band that play densely textured, upbeat, heartfelt and intense folk music. Meshing the intricate guitar interplay of Pentangle with the barnstorming raucousness of Arcade Fire. They toured with Peggy Sue last WInter and are releasing their debut EP later this year.

Paperplain http://myspace.com/helenpaperplain
Paperplain is the alias of analogue-loving Helen Page. The delicately sweet and dreamy lo-fi folk single ‘11:30’ was released as part of the Too Pure Singles Club and a video containing the track clocked up over a million views on Youtube. In January she was listed as one of The Times' top ten acts to look out for in 2010.

‘Helen has one of those voices that feels like she’s singing to you personally, and she employs the eight-track to great effect. Her hushed tones and raw talent, hidden behind the hiss and clicks, results in endearingly honest music.’ - Vinyl Junky

The Tender Hips are a London-based four piece with influences ranging from 60s garage to 90s alt-rock, via girl-groups and an array of dead and broken-hearted country singers. Their genre-bending approach to classic songwriting combines growling guitars with driving beats, soaring vocals and ghostly harmonies, and will make you tap your feet and examine your conscience.

Small Engine Repair play their own style of alternative lo-fi pop music and are currently appearing alongside Emmy the Great and Peter Bjorn & John on the Chris Coco compiled album 'Acoustic Chill.' They have recently worked with John Bundrick (The Who) and have been played on radio shows in the UK and Ibiza-ooooh!

The Lovely Eggs + Hexicon + Moustache Of Insanity + The Queens Head

8pm. £5. 

Headliners The Lovely Eggs are a 2 piece band from Lancaster, United Kingdom. They consist of married couple Holly Ross and David Blackwell. Ross was formerly the lead singer and guitarist in the popular all girl band Angelica(now split). David Blackwell was guitarist in Lancaster drone band 3D Tanx, who performed at Tate Britain with artist Linder Sterling and also with Damo Suzuki (ex Can)

Hexicon Mike, Paul and Tom started Hexicon in 2004, beginning life as a lo-fi voice/guitar/french horn combo and have since grown into a five-headed monster with Greg and Andy as a drumming tag team, and Giles on bass.

Moustache of Insanity are a London based indiepop duo who make funny, dance-able pop tunes about whatever they like - from postcards to old cassette mix tapes. Committed to DIY ethic they began with, all their records are made by hand and self recorded.

The Queen's Head started as a whim of Mr.Speaker's, unhappy with his self-imposed 'ideas' of what was 'good'. But it quickly became much more than a mere giggle on the side of his other successful sonic behemoth - SubAudible Hum - and took on an earth-shattering importance second to none.

WILLIAM OWEN & THE LINE UP with special guests THE TOY BAND

Following a few years in singer/songwriter wilderness, William Owen started the year with a dream. To form a band. The dream quickly became a reality after recruiting Michael Lovatt (Drums/Trumpet) Hannah Trett (Bass/Vocals) and Natalie Smith (Vocals) They go by the name The Line-Up. The Wilmington gig will give them an opportunity to celebrate their coming together and put on a night to remember. There will be guests of the special variety and pigs wrapped in blankets.
The night will also see the triumphant return of The Toy Band to the east london live scene. Not content with one Lovatt banging the drums? Fear not, as Michael's younger brother Peter will be sharing the same skins for The Toy Band.

Price - £5 (includes a 7’’ copy of Fancy Dress Party debut release) limited hand numbered copies.

The Fancy Dress Party has stood out from their local Essex music scene since their inception.
 
On stage violins, Ukuleles and balalaika sit together with contemporary instruments to create a sound that falls on the right side sincerity.
 
Their first single ‘Grandfather’ begins sparsely and delicately and slowly creeps into lush tenderness that can be held close to the heart.
 
3 members are currently at University and the band reconvenes in the holidays to play a handful of packed shows around Essex and London.
 
There youngest member Tom is only just dong his GCSE’s.
 
 
Sweet Release Records is a brand new singles label that releases 200 hand numbered limited 7’’ vinyl with each offering (also available digitally).
 
The song ‘Grandfather’ was recorded at Abbey Road Studios (where Christian, ½ of Sweet Release, works) and was completed in the labels Essex studio.

The Blanche Hudson Weekend + The Sunday Reeds (Australia) + Evans The Death

Doors 8pm. £4 door (£3 advance).

The Blanche Hudson Weekend
A return to the Wilmington Arms for The Blanche Hudson Weekend (featuring former Manhattan Love Suicidues duo Caroline and Darren and other assorted weekenders) after the storming set at the Indietracks festival. Bringing to you all kinds of noise, fuzz, melody, dissonance, rawness, killer tunes and buzzsaw pop. Take a bit of 1960s girl group sounds, mix with Girls In The Garage type ramshackle production, add some gun slugging guitars and sugar sweet vocals with a keen ear for a great hook.

"The beauty lies in the simplicity (of the song). It tries not to do much and because of it, achieves more" - Drowned In Sound on recent single 'Let Me Go'.

The Sunday Reeds (Australia)
The Sunday Reeds are a female-fronted noise pop/rock band named after Melbourne patron of the arts Sunday Reed. The love-child of some kind of rock 'n' roll orgy between The Jesus and Mary Chain, Joy Division, The Ramones and The Velvet Underground. Driving bass lines, plenty of guitar feedback, primitive pounding rock beats and alto, sex-laden female vocals. If Nico had joined The Ramones, strapped on a bass guitar, and a whole lot more noise was added, this is how it might have sounded. After spending much time songwriting and recording in a hell-hole apartment, founding members Romana Ashton and Drew Jones were joined in early 2009 by drummer Andy Dawson. And then there were three... The Sunday Reeds' debut album 'Drowning in History' is out now through Squirrel Records

Evans The Death
A conjoining of the unlikely twin towns of Chelmsford and Clapham, Evans The Death is, in truth, the creation of five like minds temporarily parted by the A10. Drawing inspiration from the independently minded guitar bands of the 80’s and with a healthy disdain for the concept of stardom, Evans The Death songs put high stock on the intelligence of lyrics and the primacy of melody. Despite actively avoiding the well trodden route of hype gigs and fervent web activity to gain a name, their ‘Sleeping Song’ has already been a fixture of the more forward thinking blogs.

PAUL HAWKINS & THE EMPTY GESTURES + supports

8pm. £5 / £3 members (www.tinyurl.com/spoonface)

 The Empty Gestures - Recently described as “the drunk British Tom Waits” (indiefolkforever), Paul Hawkins is one of the most compelling, unusual and imaginative new songwriters in Britain today. His songs evoke the emotional primacy of Nick Cave, the imaginative storytelling of Jonathan Richman and the wit of Jarvis Cocker to produce dark fantastical narratives on subjects ranging from teenage boys who throw themselves into nuclear reactors in the hope of gaining superpowers to lonely outsiders who don medical coats and operate on unsuspecting bystanders. The Empty Gestures are the guitarless & drumless Euro-sinister electro-pop distillation of his regualar ant-folk kraut-rock backing band The Awkward Silences.
 
Paul is a key figure in the contemporary UK antifolk scene.

Specialising in showcasing performers too idiosyncratic to fit into any one genre, Recluse events offer performers and the audience with an open-minded event characterised by stylistic variation and live vitality.

Hybernation - sublime electronically manipulated found sounds and objects
Tom White - floating surround sound textures from the Smallfish/Hibernate artist
Vlk - textural noise using Max MSP processed cello, found objects and electronics
Katzgraben - delicate electronica tinged post rock textures
Rome Pays Off - two basses and treated laptop steel guitar flowing effortlessly between static textures and intense swathes of sound
Ten - laptop treated guitar, percussion and field recordings
Burning Zoo - guitar loops and primordial electronics
P Jorgensen - atmospheric minimalism and crystalline tones
