Our good friend Makinov came out with us to shoot a short of us attempted some track stands and what nots :-) 

This month we've got two floodit events happening. So get your pencil and diary to the ready:

——————

Thursday 24th September -

We've joined forces with our friends Studio Output to bring together a special event for the London design festival. We're taking over the whole of The Queen of Hoxton in Shoreditc.

The event will start on the roof terrace for a BBQ and live screen printing of work from the participating artists.

As the sun sets the action moves downstairs to the basement bar where there will be talks and installations by a number of different creatives. Talks and showcases will come from the likes of:

• Studio Output
• Merlin Nation
• Richard Paul
• Waste
• Bryony Birkbeck

Plus more to be confirmed nearer the event.

The evening will finish off with bands and DJs until the early hours.

Live Music from:

PART CHIMP

Back in Nottingham for the first time in over two years, in support of their new album, "Thriller". My Bloody Valentine and Dinosaur Jr play loud but their tunes have never really had the heaviness to match their mammoth volume. Part Chimp, however, match their cacophonous sound levels with the weightiest rock imaginable. Their records are released by Rock Action Records (founded and maintained by Scottish post-rock band Mogwai).

SOUVARIS

Souvaris are a 5 piece rock band from Nottingham, UK, comprising of two guitarists, bass, synths and drums. Now nine years old, the band has spent the best part of a decade building their reputation as one of the UK’s most inventive and versatile acts. This autumn will see a new split release with Bordeaux’s excellent art-rockers Sincabeza on Gringo Records. Having played countless shows with bands ranging from Do Make Say Think to Polar Bear, The Shipping News to Thee More Shallows, Fly Pan Am to old friends Explosions in the Sky, Souvaris deliver a live show that is as entertaining as it is subtle, as direct as it is layered.

BAD GUYS

BAD GUYS played their first gig at ATP curated by The Melvins and Mike Patton. Neither knew BAD GUYS were gonna play but they did it anyway. You ever seen someone crowdsurf in a living room? BAD GUYS have. You ever seen Jared from The Melvins force his way through your window to get to your gig? BAD GUYS have. You ever trashed a place so bad it needs to be rebuilt from scratch? BAD GUYS have.

GUILTY PARENTS

Punk trio knocking out snarling garage punk which'll make your nuts swing taking in influences like Die Kreuzen, Make-Up, The Mummies and the Bad Form.

EXTNDDNTWRK

Special guest DJ

WASTEYOURSELF & GRINGO RECORDS PRESENTS:

Floodit - An evening of live music & screen printing at The Art Organisation with:

Live Music from:

SOE'ZA - www.myspace.com/soeza
Soeza are strung out between Bristol and various points on the M4 corridor. The have a soulful, danceable sound made up of male / female vocals and French Horn over two drummers, jazzy bass and guitar. They wouldn't go amiss on Dischord, but call Gringo their home and recently released a new album called “7 Obstacles”.

THE WAILINGEST CATS - www.myspace.com/thewailingestcats
The Wailingest Cats are a well dressed, dapper, devilish Bristol Pop Group if ever there was one. A cinematic shake down of rockin' ramshackle, doom-jazz hell-bebop. Hard, angular guitars, hip rhythms, crushing keys, muscular bass and sax are deployed with beautific decorum. Howl.

SPIN SPIN THE DOGS - www.myspace.com/spinspinthedogs
Four handsome boys playing a Contortions, Jesus Lizard, Gang of Four, Monorchid kinda jerkiness albeit stripped of any macho connotations but yet still absolutely rocking. New 12” out on Gringo soon!
