The PopArt
Pirate Party is a boisterous celebration of everything that's great about
summer: syrupy sunshine, daytime drinking and parties on boats. Plus,
you can bring your cutlass. DJs from the much-loved Panic club night are
on the decks on deck, spinning crowd-pleasing indie, while acoustic performances
come from folkstress Candythief and others. Below the boards, Jim Bob
(formerly of the inimitable Carter USM) gets raucous, while Lucky Soul
spins a cloud of perfect pop confectionary. The crushed-out Language of
Flowers are the flake in the alt-pop soft-serve, leaving you to skip,
instead of walk, the plank home. - Flavourpill #146 |

Some of the
best up-and-coming alternative London rock acts, mixed with the suave
style of James Bond — naturally, it all happens in a bowling alley. OK,
so it may be unconventional, but it's proved a winning combination before,
when the wonderfully titled Bowl and Sebastian proved a big hit at this
same venue. Prepare to be knocked over by twisted indie combo the Laurel
Collective, nu-folkster Kriss Foster and the cellotastic Sunset Gun, among
others. And the 007 link? All bands have to play at least one cover version
of a Bond classic. (AJ). Recommended in Flavourpill #174 |
| Celebrate the 30 years since Star
Wars crash-landed in cineplexes worldwide by going bowling dressed as Yoda
and listening to the strains of cosmic musical tributes. Eat, drink, bowl
and quote classic lines with abandon as cheery Belle & Sebastian soundalikes
Pocketbooks charm you with handclaps and harmonies, then follow the Klouds'
fuzzy guitar washes with a chaser of moody indie from the excellent Smallgang.
The Low Edges — excellently rechristened the Han Solo Edges for the evening
— round out the bill with some ominous-sounding alt-country rock. Flavourpill #185 |
