Gary Clail Sound System+Tony Wrafter+Pink Diamond Review+D-Kel & Los Bandidos
Gary Clail Soundsystem – The Brizzle roofer turned magical, mercurial MC cum radical and righteous sound system manipulator is back and then some…his latest album ‘Violence’ is the ‘End Of The Century Party’ for 2021, an absolute cracker of a record and a return to form right up there with his best On U Sound material. With fellow Bristolian legend brass and woodwind man Tony Wrafter (Tricky, Glaxo Babies, Maximum Joy etc) as his musical right hand man there’s a deep resonance at play with this fabulous new material, still hot on social comment but head warpingly good to dance to too. Gary will be MCing, live mixing, DJing and collaborating with other artists tonight and ongoing monthly in the DC as part of his ongoing residency, rudely interupted by Covid 19 in Spring 2020. The Pink Diamond Revue– Psychedelic, conceptually driven, sampledelic instrumentally inclined electro rock, with great fat slabs of rock intensity amidst buried voices and samples, something of Revolting Cocks, Spiritualized/Spacemen 3 too. Trans Am fans will enjoy too, fab. D-Kel & Los Bandidos – A decidely Londinium shaped multiculturally alert rap gets rapped with some heavy funk rock, punk tood and indie nous…

..........................................................................................

so Wiley fronting Funkadelic with a hint of The Clash? …kinda. ‘Frontman D-Kel takes inspiration from London where he was born and bred and Latin America where his roots lie, Drawing inspiration from Artists such as Roots Manuva, Slaves, The Beat, The Specials, Jamie T, The Streets, Calle 13 & Tego Calderon’ Pretty cool all round then. Social conscience in tact with a neat and creative spin of verbals, and the band have a feeling of something classic, somewhat vintage but yet refreshing and original, with a strong British representation featured throughout their music.

Fu Fighters+Copperhead Jacks+The Front Rank
Fu Fighters – This is indeed a call…the premier Foo Fighters tribute band hit Camden Town, which you might think is The Long Road To Ruin hoho but no in Times Like These these Stacked Actors are Making A Fire that will no doubt be The Best Of You… Copperhead Jacks – classic rock covers act taking in Hendrix, Cream, Small Faces and more….brilliant. The Front Rank – Some veterans from Her Majesties Armed Forces got together when they were still serving squaddies and traded their weapons for guitars to produce a blend of classic rocknroll and Britpop, a thoroughly British take on all things loud and melodic taking in Oasis, The Who, The Kinks and the Pistols. An excellent opening barrage.
