ROUND OUR GAFF is a new monthly-ish Saturday nighter at The Enterprise in Camden.
Sick of the same old "leftfield" clubs on offer, the promoters - Katie
Dunne (Domino Records/Camden Crawl 2007 Event Manager), Leslie Gilotti
(media maestro to The Horrors, The Enemy, Reverend and the Makers) and
Heledd Williams (events promoter/fashion guru) - set out to create a
vibe akin to a house party set in the run down grandeur of the room at
the top of the cozy old boozer's narrow stairs.
Expect
up-n-coming and in some cases, already-there, artists taking to the
stage and the decks for un-pretentious fun (or as John Power of LeCool
put it, "sometimes you just want to drink yourself dumb and dance
around to great tunes without fear of being co-opted into a
transvestite's stage show"). September's launch night included City
Rockers' indie gossip pages darlings Paris Trading live, with The Ghost
Frequency spinning top tunes that shook the Enterprise to the rafters.
The second RoG is on Saturday November 24th. The lineup is thus:
THE RAKES (DJ set)
www.myspace.com/therakes | www.therakes.co.uk
The 22 Grand-jobbers step up to rock the decks till late after performances from:
YETI (live)
www.yetiintelligence.com | www.myspace.com/yetiintelligence
John
Hassall's (ex-Libertines) acoustic-driven, psychedelic beat pop outfit
returns with a new four piece lineup ahead of their new single release
in February. Think the Byrds and the Kinks, with the cojones of Led
Zeppelin.
THE BARKER BAND (live)
www.barkerband.com | www.myspace.com/thebarkerband
This
8-piece collective fronted by the Barker twins counts a fiddle player
and pro skateboarder among its ranks. Expect a mix of bluegrass, rock,
and country for Camden's own little corner of the US Deep South. Banjo
love is a good thing.
