SHADY BARD
http://www.myspace.com/shadybard
http://bit.ly/facebook-shadybard

We've been after these guys for a while and frankly we're very excited especially as they've just released their wonderful new album 'Trials'

Trials’ is the second album by shady bard, released on October 11th and preceded by the double download release of ‘Trials (Part III)’/’Daphne’. With tracks from their debut having already featured in US TV dramas such as Grey’s Anatomy, the band return with a new record filled with cinematic instrumentation and symphonic pop songs.

If you don't want to just take my word for it here's what some other people have to say:

“A band it would be easy to fall in love with...dazzling.” The Sunday Times

“Delicate songs...cracked hope...a marvel” Channel 4

“The spoken word symphonies of iLiKETRAiNS and the evocative harmonies of Low...A record that becomes more engaging with every listen.” 9/10 Drowned in Sound

LISBONNE
http://www.myspace.com/lisbonne

Ever wondered what music tigers dance to? Look no further! Lisbonne is the musical alias of singer/songwriter marie m, a french girl exiled in London, who when not on tour with her band Monade, writes dreamy pop songs in her bedroom. The perfect soundtrack for sunny afternoons laying in the sun.

All that and with one more act to be announced, there's only one question left to ask....

Are you ready?

"Music of amazing breadth and depth...bursting with energy and enthusiasm"

Codename Sparrow: Singer/guitarist/songwriter, with a full array of the talents. Used to be in a bunch of beat combos you've never heard of with names too awful to mention in public. Lo-fi indie rock and sadcore masterpieces since 2005!
http://www.myspace.com/codenamesparrow

Nick Byrne: Sweeping through areas of folk and rock music, 'Self-titled EP' is a captivating listen; include a lot more textures, dynamics and instruments than the average solo project, and there is surely much more to come from the twenty one year old musician.

Library Tapes: "More than any other instrument, the piano sounds like a leap of faith, something impossibly bulky lifting off arduously, but feather-light in the air, spanning the chasm between silences as if suspended by its own purling tones" (pitchfork.com)
http://www.myspace.com/librarytapes

Clem Leek is from the South East. He has just completed his MA in Music Composition an is now releasing his first E.P. Clem draws his influence from the minimalist composers Steve Riech & Philip Glass and also such musicians as Keith Kennif, Max Richter, Matt Hales, creating a beautiful mix of piano melodies and subtle instrumentation, all set to the crackle of a 78rpm record.
http://www.myspace.com/clemleekofficial

Standing somewhere between modern classical and electronica, Isnaj Dui conveys a minimal yet capturing sound using electronically manipulated flutes and homemade instruments.
'Deeply inspiring music from a very, very special place' - Nils Frahm
http://www.myspace.com/isnajdui

"...it is hard to label Wild Dogs in Winter's sound, as they seem to take something from every genre. Electronica, Folk, and of course post-rock are all ingredients that they use wisely to create a fresh and interesting combination".

ROUT OF BLUES

We're Back!

 After our total sell-out of the Bloomsbury Theatre last month (that's 550 people!) Bright Club returns to the Wilmington Arms for some ink-based action.

This month's compere is Jim Smallman, who has seen a little bit of ink in his time, and music comes from Banjo-playing wisecracker Sleepy Ed Hicks.

On the expert side, we've got John Troyer, looking at tattoos, Natasha McEnroe, who knows all about fingerprints, Danish printing expert Jakob Stougaard-Nielsen and many many more.

 Doors are 8pm and it'll cost you a fiver.

 See you there!

BRIGHT CLUB: INK

"I have had an extraordinary life. From Wellington to Delaware, from Nantwich to Montpellier, from Kazakhstan to Idaho, from Bondi Beach to Mexico, I’ve seen it all. And I’d like to share it with you."
 
A hilarious new monologue by Fred Gordon, ‘Life Story’ is the alarming tale of one man’s struggle against his questionable instincts. Written entirely in rhyming couplets, it is the epic retelling of an unlikely existence.

8pm.

£5

LIFE STORY

Death & Glory 4 is upon us and we have yet another amazing line up for you – we just don’t quit!
This month we’ve gone a little folky and mellow in honour of Autumn so come along and enjoy some
music with depth, humour and poignancy. In November we bring you....

MARMADUKE DANDO (www.myspace.com/marmadukedando)
As a refreshing change to the norm at Ravenous towers it was actually Marmaduke Dando that
found us rather than the other way around. A collective formed around the charismatic Dando, this
8 piece play carefully crafted tunes the deal with the lowest feelings of loneliness and the soaring
moments of pure joy. Songs like ‘Life Can’t Get Any Better’ and ‘If This Is Civilization’ will take you
through a range of complex emotions through the lyrics alone. Musically, Marmaduke Dando sound
like a light night, Absinth session between the Divine Comedy, Gogol Bordello, Matt Bellamy and the
Flaming Lips - which should be enough to raise the staunchest of eyebrows!

LAURA HOCKING & THE LONG GOODBYE (www.myspace.com/laurahocking)
Laura has been around the London scene for a while but now she has beefed up her sound with a
full band her beautiful songs have taken on a luscious and fully formed shape. From ditties about
Autism to tales of female wrestlers, Ms Hocking has amassed a set of songs that will take you from
tears of genuine sadness to tears of laughter within the space of an evening but always with a great
tune and smoothly seductive voice. Whatever your reaction is to her music, you should probably
bring some tissues with you...

ELEPHANT (www.myspace.com/belindagillett)
Imagine Florence kicking it with Elbow while Radiohead work on the production and the ghost of
Edith Piaf floats around the studio. Imagine how good that would sound. Then stop imagining and
enjoy the delights of Elephant. From the far-flung reaches of Felixstowe and Norwich, Elephant
are lead by the enchanting Belinda Gillett who has a voice so powerful you could put tusks on it
and....well, you see where I’m going with that one. Lazy journalism aside, Elephant are marvellous
and this will be a rare appearance in London town so just be sure not to get crushed in the
stampede. Sorry.

LOFTY HEIGHTS (www.myspace.com/theloftyheights)
Lofty Heights are essentially one man but oh my what a man!? A yank in Manor House, a sound
engineer extraordinaire and a purveyor of the best handshakes known to mankind. Then there’s
the music which is some of the best folk-pop tinged with sunshine that you are every likely to hear.
Every instrument sounds dangerously close to being out of tune and every lyric is almost mumbled
through shyness but that is exactly how it should sound. Lofty Heights indeed.

£3 on the door. 8pm.

DEATH AND GLORY

Just Like Pictures: 10:10
Zelig: 9:30
Sound of the Nudge: 8:50
Higher Frequency: 8:10

Doors 8 pm
Tickets £3.99 (advance) / £5 (door)

London based via Wolverhampton & Londrina, Just Like Pictures have been gigging in and around London since 2007 and have been branded as 'experimental angular indie funk' (Spice of Life/Bull & Gate), 'spikey indie pop gems' (ents24.com) and 'perky and punky with plenty of bollocks' (Hope & Anchor). Come along and decide for yourself...
http://www.myspace.com/justlikepictures

The Zelig live show is a showcase for the bands versatile sound, which can be, and often is, tailored to the particlular audience and venue; whether it be high-octane energetic glory; or austere, intimate emotion. Such a dedication was rewarded when Zelig took the stage at The Birmingham Academy to open for The Fratellis on their 2008 tour.
http://www.myspace.com/zeligmusicuk

Sound of the Nudge: BBC 6 MuSic presenter Tom Robinson discovered their sound and immediately included them in his ‘best on the web’ selection. Tom added on air “It's impossible not to get caught up by the sheer punk enthusiasm and swaggering Mark E Smith attitude of SOUND OF THE NUDGE - spearheading their own music movement - PUB STEP"..
http://www.myspace.com/soundofthenudge

Higher Frequency is a north London based band mixing elements of electronic music, disco house and funk with traditional songwriting, edgy guitars and captivating melodies. Coming from opposite sides of the world (Brazil and Italy), its members met at Middlesex University in 2008.

Little Children: The low-key style is at the front. Sparse Guitar arrangements are played as if they were feet tramping on fragile ice. The horns and woodwind instruments along with the percussion enter here and there in the compositions with psychedelic and jazzy vibes changing the direction of the songs.
