Gigs
RED PROPELLERS
SATURDAY 11TH NOVEMBER 2017
BETSEY TROTWOOD 15.00-18.00 (matinee)
We're excited to announce that fast-rising Stroud 4-piece The RED PROPELLERS will be playing a special show, making their London debut, for us
For all you fans of true rock and roll you're in for a treat - the RPs harness the energy and street poetry of the ground-breaking mid 70s New York scene - imagine Television, Richard Hell, early Talking Heads, Heartbreakers, Modern Lovers with a big dollop of Uncle Lou and the Velvets and you get near to how these guys sound. Singer James Dick looks to the vocal stylings of Patti Smith, Alan Vega and Jim Morrison and together this foursome make one groovy noise - some have remarked too on similarities with Mark E Smith and Nick Cave.
The Propellers have released a boss 10" and 2 x CDs to date on their own longblackcoat imprint, part of the mighty Rollercoaster Records - they'll be celebrating this London show with the release of a cool double A-sided 7" of two of their nattiest tunes, 'Sandi Says' & 'Johnny, Johnny' - you can buy copies on the day.
They'll be joined by poet/musician Jeff Cloves who switched me on to the RPs in the first place and our very own Tony Poole for an afternoon that we hope will mix 50s beat poetry, 60s Greenwich Village folk tunes and 70s rock with a Max's/CBGBs vibe.
Tony and Jeff recently teamed up as 'Riff-Raff and A Rickenbacker' for the annual Launceston Poetry Festival and by all accounts it was a terrific night - Jeff (who is a regular columnist of ‘Peace News’, and mainstay of bands like the Poetsdoos, Movie and Stardust will be reading some of his fab poems and joining Tony for a folk song or two.
Thanks as ever to the mighty John Hurford for his Warhol-inspired flyer!
It's £8 cash on the door on the day but you'll need to book a place in advance

It promises to be a cracking afternoon and we hope to see you there.

BANANA LP LAUNCH - SUNDAY 1st NOVEMBER
Please join Shagrat and Hookah Records for the launch of the double 10" vinyl release by Banana, 'Get Together' as he recalls all of the Youngbloods' classics including Sugar Babe, Darkness Darkness, Euphoria, Hippie From Olema and, of course the anthem, Get Together. As a special treat the album also contains Banana's raw version of Fred Neil's Another Side of This Life.
Guests on the album include Jesse Colin Young, David Grisman, Peter Stampfel, Ry Cooder, Michael Hurley (who also provided illustrations for the 12 page booklet that accompanies the release), Dan Hicks, Maria Muldaur and David Nelson.
Our hosts for the afternoon are Le QuecumBar in Battersea who will staff the bar but no food will be available. We recommend a visit at other times to take a dip in to their menu and to listen to Django Reinhardt inspired Gypsy Jazz. http://quecumbar.co.uk/
Support acts will be provided and the record will be available to purchase.
The Schedule is being finalised but Banana will be performing selections from the album from about 4:30 onwards.
