In December 2005, Clash Magazine was voted Best Music Magazine of the Year at the Record of the Day Awards in London.
In March 2006, The Luminaire was voted Live Venue of The Year by Time Out Magazine in London.
On 25 March 2006, Clash Magazine launch Club Clash at The Luminaire, a monthly night of drinking, dancing and debauchery with live sets from up-and-coming bands including Battle and Action Plan, plus more to be announced. Manning the decks and rocking the dancefloor will be a host of guest DJs including Clash's own Edith Bowman. The night is intended to represent a live portrayal of the variety of music on offer within the pages of the magazine, with a colourful mix of live music and DJs from a spectrum of genres.
Voted for by the music industry, the win saw Clash defeat big names in music publishing such as NME, Q, Word and The Fly.
We'll have some words on the headliners in a minute, but for now... Action Plan are a London-based band who specialise in shit-kicking, guitar-mangling mini anthems. And shouty bits. They make a grand old noise out of broken down amps, happiness that has gone kaput. And you will know them by the trail of empty vodka bottles. The band recently released their debut single on Young & Lost Club Records. "Intelligently noisy and fuzzily spiky," so said DiS. "Dark sinister post-rock," so said Artrocker. "The last song just sounded like a wall of noise, it was horrific," so said someone on a Razorlight fansite. Fine praise indeed.
Stacs Of Stamina, the potent purveyors of blip-hop beats and electro grooves, have been confirmed as openers. Performing under their alter-ego, Radioclit, they'll be raising the roof and packing the dancefloor in time-honoured tradition.
