Fri 9th The JD Set presents THE COURTEENERS + VINCENT VINCENT & THE VILLAINS + THE NEW YORK FUND Presented by Peter Hook SOLD OUT
Doors 7.30 The JD Set is a series of nationwide live music events featuring cutting-edge talent that’s storming the underground. Jack Daniel’s will be bringing together this staggering line up of artists by way of celebrating their well-respected musical heritage that spans over a century. Peter Hook, legendary low-slung bass player with seminal bands New Order and Joy Division, and hero to numerous musicians, will be presenting the JD Set this year. Peter says: “I’m really looking forward to meeting some of these young guns at the JD Set events. New up-and-coming talent is something I think it is really important to make time for. I might even get on stage to join them for a track or two!” Vincent Vincent & The Villains make vintage sounding rock n roll, raw and guitar driven. They have graced the page of style bibles because they fuse a sharp look with music that has depth, integrity and catchy pop sensibility. The Courteeners are one of the most hotly tipped bands of 2007. Their debut single sold out via pre-order on Amazon, helping to bring them to the attention of Polydor who have now signed them. This Manchester indie rock band are touring with The Coral and picking up rave reviews as they go along. Heartache and Jack Daniels. Good sex, bad sex, guitars. Sweet love songs and dirty, chugging tunes. The occasional bubble of self-pity blitzed by a nasty riff, and the odd spot of lechery justified by the fact that, well, we all get the horn - so why pretend? The New York Fund have all the soulful rock 'n 'roll ingredients that have always been and will always be. Singer Joe McAdam displays the cocky passion and gentle poetry that only a Glaswegian who thinks he should have grown up in the American South could have. Jim on bass and Leo on drums drive the band like a rusty tractor with a Ferrari engine, and Adrian makes those of us who’ve ever tried and failed to learn guitar realise why we gave up. As well as indulging in the obligatory rock pastimes of drinking, bowling and beard-growing, The New York Fund have spent a year priming their public at a plethora of gigs around the UK (headlining, and supporting The Hold Steady, Ed Harcourt, M.Ward, Modest Mouse, OK Go, and Captain). They have wowed audiences at a dozen festivals this summer, including Glastonbury, T in the Park, Guilfest and the V Festival. Everyone who sees this band live is converted – get on the dirty trail with The New York Fund. This event, alongside future JD Sets, will form part of a bespoke Channel 4 series to be broadcast in 2008. Peter Hook will be joined by Channel 4 TV Presenter Rick Edwards and a panel of music industry aficionados who will discuss whether these bands are fit to take on the heady mantle of musical icons of the future.
