This Friday 27 Oct ARTFUL DIRTY SOUTH BANK SHOW!
Current mood: excited

Come to see us this Friday!

Here are all the details from Caffy and Jane (myspace.com/artfulmtb) who are promoting the show:

THE EARWAX RADIO ARTFUL BROADCAST

- this year from THE DIRTY SOUTH BANK SHOW

starring THE BLACK TULIPS + BLAH BLAH BLAH + THE RULES + ELEPHANT RESCUE PLAN + EARWAX RADIO DJs.



All are invited to be part of the show which is made in real time for future broadcast.

Doors 8pm. £4 on the door

(£2 concessions i.e. NUS or P.O.L.E. badge or flyer from www.lovepeacemusic.clara.net/poleclub.html)

Dirty South, 162 Lee High Road, Lewisham, London SE13 5PR
www.dirtysouthlondon.com

18+ / DJs and Bar until 2am

THE BLACK TULIPS are coming to South London. You should be here when they play. The feedback speaks for itself...

"phenomenal voice... utterly, utterly glorious... 9/10" (Drowned In Sound)

"destined to leave their unique imprint on the world... a band that could literally rip up the rulebook and start again right now" (God Is In The TV)

"pompous, atmospheric, magisterial... like nothing I have ever heard before ... all the hairs on my body stood on end" (Disorder)

"glam-damaged art-rat riot" (Maps)

"BRILLIANT!... sends shivers down the spine... I keep having to get off my arse to press play again" (Glasswerk)

"pointy scratchy uncompromising, glamorous, mysterious and wonderfully different... something rather special" (Organ demo of the week)

"truly innovative" (Sounds XP)

"frankly awesome... absolutely beautiful... when something's new enough to jar against what you've been led to expect from gig-going, you know that someone's hit the jackpot" (r*e*p*e*a*t)

Seriously. Come.

www.myspace.com/theblacktulips

BLAH BLAH BLAH are deservedly loved as one of the most infectious and hard working bands.

This year they have blitzed London with their blazing live set of skiffle punk laced with sharply observed lyrics.

THE RULES

"If you don't get to see these on the toilet circuit, you're missing out" (Tube Club)

Tristan Rule (London) and Nicole Rule (NYC) Frankly exciting stripy rocky stars - Marc from Dirty Electric (who were originally gonna play) is joining them on stage.

www.therules.tv

THE ELEPHANT RESCUE PLAN

"Newport's band making machine has come up trumps again" (Radio 1).

The Elephant Rescue Plan head over from a BBC Wales outside broadcast appearance to London.

www.myspace.com/theelephantrescueplan

EARWAX RADIO - in less than two years this has become a newer wave fave rave. Spanking new music, live sessions, interviews, news, gossip delivered like a natter down the pub - it's gained sufficient popularity to be going FM on host station TGR Sound (South East London/Essex) at the end of this year.

When Earwax started podcasting (Jan-006), it was heavily over subscribed and collapsed on line. All is well since though, and following the success of the first Artful Broadcast (still being downloaded around the globe) - the increasingly busy Jamie and Andy will make a show right here, right now, and you're all invited to be part of it!

If you have an ace tune, bring it along. If you're up for an additional quick interview, get in touch with Earwax in advance via www.wax-music.com and www.myspace.com/earwaxradio - cheers!
