Fri 9th Scarlet Blonde presents S.W.A.N.K. + Scarlet BLONDE + Suzerain
Doors 8.00
S.W.A.N.K. (Special Weapons And Nice Keyboards) formed in November 2004 by two founder members of the punk rock band that was Flying Buddha. S.W.A.N.K. played their debut gig three weeks later at London's top neo-rave night Bang Face and since then they've rocked top nights including Uncharted Audio's Uncharted Sessions, Client's Being Boiled and have supported Cursor Miner and the Sohodolls. S.W.A.N.K sound like The Pet Shop Boys meets Bikini Kill on crack. Singing songs about A.S.B.O kids and sex offenders, nothing can prepare you for the council estate chic of S.W.A.N.K. Opening proceedings are the amazing Suzerain. Singer Tom Pether commands the stage and whips up the crowd, frequently leading to audience chanting. Expect amazing Electro-indie, showing - some would say - The Killers how its done. Either way, this band deserve to be absolute stars. Your hosts for the evening are Scarlet BLONDE; Radio 2 XS A-listed and instigators of the coming Rocktronica revolution. One guy, one tiny girl with a very big voice, a synth, two guitars and lots of attitude, like Skunk Anansie in an Electro-punk blender. "Up-tempo and exciting with electrotica and dirty guitars mixed into the overall sounds, 9/10." [Record Scout] "We caught them kick-starting the girl fronted Electro revolution." [Electrowerks] And you can look forward to the usual shenanigans of visuals from the awesome Fade In Fade Out, sweets, freebies, sticky food stuff and special Scarlet Blonde drinks.
And...after the show... be the first to hear Scarlet BLONDE's album 'Bedroom Superstars' fully completed, and see the premier of the video of their first single 'Electric'. |
