There’s an exciting tension in the air… the quiet before the storm. Wild flashes and booming treats await us around the corner this autumn. But we’re not there yet. Oh yes – plenty of gold to weigh in first…
Go! If you haven’t seen her yet – then catch the latex clad vixen Miss Behave and her friends from the international cabaret scene – all performing at the Roundhouse for their last week of the Variety Nighty.
The Band du jour – The Came From The Stars I Saw Them are on stage twice this week – catch them at the Roundhouse on Weds, or at Cargo on Sat. If you missed them at the last Run Riot No Shame party – we have to say we love them (so does James ‘LCD Sound system’ Murphy) - they’re the sexiest psychedelic-art-pop dance band out there!
Other gems to look out for this week include ISA GT’s new party night at the Moustache bar on Weds. On Fri – it’s a battle between spandex (Duotard at the BGWMC) and hi-tech VJ wizardry (Addictive TV at the National Theatre). At the w/e there’s some kind of carnival thing going on over west side – meanwhile, far from the madding crowd, over east side we have the world famous Vyner Street Festival – expect quality local produce of the creative variety (music, art, performance and very attractive and terribly charming people) – worth indulging. In Art – two private views to enjoy, DegreeArt’s latest show with work from Le Flemming and Logan (pictured above) on Thurs, and next Weds, art collective Le Gun open an exhibition at the Rochelle School.
Have a jolly good bank holiday!
