Public Service Broadcast Club 5 - TODAY!

Check it out kids, we're back for another afternoon of fun music at the Notting Hill Arts Club (21 Notting Hill Gate, W11) in London. Copied and pasted from t'website:

TIM TEN YEN is the snappiest dressed man in London. Probably. What is certain is that "Everything Beautiful Reminds Me of You", released via Pointy Records, was the snappiest sun-drenched pop record made last year by a snappily-dressed man from London. SNAPPY. His live shows come assisted by The Sinister Cat, and if that doesn't pique your interest by itself, well...

INTERNET FOREVER bill themselves on their myspace as "the dangerous sounds of twee". We think they're like a Times New Viking-savvy take on what Beat Happening were so special for - a band that places youthful exuberance and a desire for maximum fun moments uber alles. We're SOLD.

POPE JOAN are a four-piece avant pop band from Brighton. Trading in angularrrrr guitar lines and 8-bit synth fury equally, debut mini-album Hot Water, Lines and Rickety Machines was last year via the fine people at OIB Records (also responsible for Lonely Ghosts, who some of you may remember from our Christmas party) and garnered a lot of lovely words from the underground press.

As usual, the show is from 4pm to 8pm, it's TOTALLY FREE, there'll be cheap drinks and we'll be playing some CHOONS (me says likely to include: The Auteurs, Best Friends Forever, Bruce Springsteen, Casiotone For The Painfully Alone covering Bruce Springsteen, Deftones, El-P, Handsome Furs, The Hold Steady, of Montreal, No Age...) between the bands. It's the best way to start off your Saturday! OFFICIALLY.

Also, check out Laura Wolf's (from Internet Forever, y'know) awesome poster up there. Amazing, huh?

If you are so inclined, you can find the event on Facebook here and Last FM here. Tell your friends! Bring your friends! Introduce us to your friends!

Public Service Blogcast Episode 3: This Ain't No Picnic Special


A special show this week presented by DIY festival wunderkind Daniel all about the upcoming This Ain't No Picnic event. On September 27th and 28th, STA take over King's College London Student's Union for one of the best line-ups of the summer; among the 34 bands playing are headliners Future Of The Left and Polysics plus some acts that you may not be so familiar with but you're hopefully listening to as you read this. Both day and weekend tickets are still available, and all proceeds from this event will be donated to charity, split between Cancer Research UK and The Connection at St Martin-in-the-Fields. Those of you that have experienced the previous STA All-Dayers know how good the last weekend of the month is going to be.
