What is the art of punk, or more accurately what is punk art, indeed should the tag even be allowed, and once it’s been identified should it ever be plopped under perspex in a gallery? Well, we consider that briefly here with the Hayward Gallery’s ‘Some Day All The Adults Will Die’ exhibition in mind, as curated and safety pinned together byJon Savage and Juan KugelbergAlexander Price, and a wise word with the peeps from the Exposure Music Awards….oh and a brief history of masturbatory euphemisms….

But Hey You! don’t wank that, it’s mainly about the great new bands playing on our stages over the next few weeks, of course.

So special recommendations and knicker wetting jubilation is accorded to the hip and happening, the fabled and fabulous, as previewed in this cloudcast.

Getting a goodly spin here and to be found in The Dublin Castle, Sat 6th October, Damn Vandals…and their new single release ‘This Amazing’….Damn Vandals’ ‘Done For Desire’ album has literally had across the board 10/10 reviews or near as Damn it and Vandalise it…see what all the fuss is about on this brillo bill live, and catch the single here.. Where The Godfathers meet The Bunnymenand get gear n groovy.

Or, do yerself a massive favour and be sure to catch the implausibly monikered Missa Watanabe vs Space Traveler live set on Oct 6th in The Hope and Anchor, Islington…..playing his space jazz meets ska meets breakbeat meets Yello….yeah a Yello for the 2KTeenies with a colourful and artful approach that is very much echoed in the extensively expressive stage performance…what a performance! Twisting out his head blowing tuneology like so many supercharged doobies afore a Heath Robinson cum Doctor Suess cum giant arachnid spiked with mescaline on stage contraption nay living artscape, this is so much more than just slightly bonkers electronic music…it’s insane! Wonderful stuff, should be making major waves….

So, Boxing The Jesuit, Bashing The Bishop, Spanking The Monkey……give us your best loved euphemism for cracking one off on Twitter @bugbearmusic ….
