Brighton Modernist/60’s weekender, August bank holiday 22/23/24 August 08!
Yes
we are excited. After the huge success of Brighton the last three years
we are heading back to the Modernist spiritual home on August bank
holiday. The atmosphere over last three years reminded me of the golden
era IOW circa 91-99. We have the best three venues in Brighton booked
for your dancing pleasure.
Friday night starts 11pm at a brand new
venue (the Loft) Smugglers Club in Ship Street next door to our old
Friday night venue the Sussex Arts club. The venue boasts a superb
wooden dance floor with licence till 3am. A great way to start the
weekend off.
Saturday night starts at 10pm in the basement club of
Brighton’s best venue the Komedia with low ceiling, wooden dance floor,
great sound system, long bar and friendly staff. Pre club drinks just
round the corner at the Hart and Hound from 9pm onwards with their
excellent jukebox to warm you up.
The Sugars with Matt ‘the Mod’
Bolton on vocal/guitar are awesome 3 piece described on
www.myspace.com/thesugarswww.myspace.com/thesugars appropriately as
‘'This love lost three found each other humming dirty Jackie Wilson and
Sonics 45's down by the riverbank. Imagine 50's street corner harmonies
colliding headlong with a tricked out hot-rod. All crashing cymbals
with a clutch bag of distortion and high heels in tow. This knockout
trio of fuzzed up, doo-wop sweethearts kick out bluesy duets of
heartache and jealousy. Their only male studies the vocal arts of Bobby
Bland, their teenage siren takes drumming lessons from Detroit's finest
while the magic number is made up by a sugary voice so sweet she'll rot
your teeth. Live, they throb to an undercurrent of the siren's
kick-drum while the remaining two light up the stage with their high
voltage chemistry. Belt up and hang on tight. Their saccharine ways
will bleed themselves straight into your heart..... “'’ With a new
album and single out this summer we are excited to welcome the Sugars
as our headline act for the weekend. Local Brighton band the Dirty
Socials are supporting and describe themselves as a Garage/Blues/Rock
band with influences of some fine pedigree including the Rolling
Stones, Muddy Waters, the Faces, Robert Johnson and Led Zeppelin.
Digging the slide guitar fellas and look forward to catching up with
your live reputation. After the bands NUTs DJ’s and special guest Mik
Parry from Sheffield’s Pow Wow club sock it to you till 5am.
Sunday’s allnighter is in two rooms at Brighton’s best venue the KOMEDIA this year.
The main room being 6t’s northern & rare soul with special guests DJ’s.
