Wed 8th Wednesday 8 February The Luminaire and Zed-One Studios presents CAPTAIN BLACK + The Changes + Visitor Q + The Cleo Whip + DJ Charlie No. 4 - Doors 8.00, £5 via WeGotTickets or £3.50 with this flyer. The Cleo Whip hail from North London, which we like, and their sound nods to Stereolab, The Strokes, Pixies and Le Tigre, the sound of which we also like. They're suported by a trio of indie rockers from London's Zed-One studios, namely the careless-haired Skiffle-driven, Camden-based five piece Captain Black, The Changes and Visitor Q. Captain Black are influenced by The Smiths, The Pogues, Johnny Cash and Nick Cave, so you may be surprised to hear their skiffle rhythms and happy guitars [one of their favourite albums, however, IS a Lonnie Donegan at the moment]. But if you listen closely, they're not singing about love and rose petals; in fact they're probably singing the darkest words you'll hear all day. Visitor Q are "a bunch of beautiful freaks who cross genre boundaries like cracks in the pavement. Expect cult status at least." [Rocksound]. The Changes combine vocal and guitar melodies remeniscent of classic British rock, with a rhythm section taking influences from modern day Americana. The good Charlie No. 4 leads a DJ-fuelled-sing-along between bands. RSS |
