Clash Magazine returns for our final event of 2006 at The Luminaire with an evening of subtle nuance and an historical slant. The legendary Chess Records has teamed up with Clash for a rockin’ blues extravaganza, where new music will be pitted live against the esteemed back catalogue of Chicago's finest.

Vincent Vincent And The Villains are London's sharpest rock and rollers. Snazzily dressed with the manners to match, their homespun harmonies have been causing a flutter among the hearts of nu-skifflers everywhere. With their debut album being released in January on EMI, it would seem that the rockabilly revival starts here.

Bobby Cooke has recently emerged from West London and is set to become one of the most unique voices in British music. His dreamy, cinematic brand of guitar-pop send shivers down the spine. Like an early Echo And The Bunnymen, Lloyd Cole and Jesus & the Mary Chain at their most blissed out. See this rising star now!

Chess Records was launched in 1950 by Phil and Leonard Chess in Chicago. Chess specialised in blues music, rock and roll, rhythm & blues, jazz, and soul. They produced hits for, amongst others, Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. Their legacy as the home of the blues is undisputed and deserved.

The tenth in the continuing Clash Club legacy follows blinding previous events that played host to Jeremy Warmsley, Action Plan, Radioclit, Low Sparks, Spektrum, The Fratellis, Apartment, Pull Tiger Tail, 747s, Midlake, Deaf Stereo, The Sunshine Underground, Union Of Knives, Radar, The View, Larrikin Love, Captain Black, The Rank Deluxe, The Bishops, The Crimea, Vatican DC, Freelance Hellraiser and George Demure.
