Sat 9th Furthur Promotions presents BUSSETTI + The Human Beings + Bam Bam Sound
Doors 7.30 "Extremely inventive and truly wonderful live." [The Guardian] After six years, four CD-Rs, two 12"s, thirty tunes, sixteen remixes and five line-ups the many headed beast that is Bussetti is finally calling it a day. We've worked with Bussetti for a while now and sad as we are to see them go, we are proud to be hosting this final celebration of the band and their music. To see the band off in style we are taking over the Luminaire for one night to present an extended set from the band as they work their way through their extensive back catalogue one last time. "Glory is surely a question of when, not if." [The Big Issue] Formed in Brixton in 2001 and named after their dead landlord (long story' think Weekend At Bernies with added funk), the band went through several incarnations before finally emerging in their present many headed form in 2005. Two self released singles picked up healthy praise from the likes of Mixmag, Jockey Slut and DJ and saw the band selected to record a live session for XFM and appear on Ninja Tune's Solid Steel radio show. "Future's so bright...in short, well worth checking out." [Metro, London] It is in the live arena though that Bussetti have shone the most with sold out shows across London and some memorable festival appearances, including last year opening the Big Chill festival as the first act on the main stage. The Human Beings - main support - are a London based band who were first formed in Israel in 2001 by the song writer Igal Israel who decided after attending film school to concentrate on music. Live they perfrom as a sextet, featuring glockenspiel, accordian, trumpet and piano alongise double bass and drums. The Human Beings bring together unique and exciting elements when they play merging classical and gypsy folk music with rock and psychedelia.
Bam Bam Sound is the acceptable public face of Duck and Johnny Clash, a two headed Ragamuffin Junglist B-Boy Punk-Rock Rave Monster of ill repute and can be regularly found filling floors (and fields) at the Big Chill Bar and Festival. |
