The Fallen Leaves + Nuffin

NUFFIN’S ROXY CLUB 40TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY
So why not save the date to join the same four teenagers forty years on, playing the original set, and partying with friends like it’s 1977 all over again? Starring headliners and proper stout yeoman of punketiness, The Fallen Leaves. A languid gentlemanly style all their own these former Subway Sect suavesters, so go on have a nice cuppa tea.
“This valve amp, treble-to-the-max rave-up would have had the 1960s Who or Pretty Things bricking it backstage” Mark Paytress (Mojo)
“This sharp, angular, melodic garage-pop will doubtless appeal to the same authenticity-starved youngsters who have made Billy Childish their king” Stewart Lee (Sunday Times)
PLUS! Morgellons– (signed to the excellent and estimable Flicknife Records and with their debut album freshly procured, Morgellons blends power rock with goth tinged indie punk sensibilities) AND! Screaming Dead–(“horror punk” terror goff supercool kick ass punk n roll band)If The Dublin Castle is the CBGBs of London, and it is, then The Fighting Cocks must be Max’s Kanasas City…a great little rocknroll bar in Kingston Upon Thames with ace venue attached, Bugbear present The Vibrators there on Saturday 19th August…and this wonderful little number Saturday 29th July… Early devotees of The Roxy..click on the flyer above for a little Roxy shaped treat featuring Eater and original Nuffin drummist the proper ledge Dee Generate, the youngest man in punk, haha… Nuffin short of wonderful…

Saturday 11th August The Dublin Castle
Pama International + DJ D’Oxman
Click for cheap tickets. London’s premier soul informed rocksteady live happening are a unique and inspirational outfit you simply have to see live. An amazing smile inducing rubadub delight. No wonder DJs of the calibre of Rodigan and Craig Charles are punishing their recent fabulous records, such as the brilliant current 45 ‘Wake Up’ [more] another in a (rock)steady succession of stupendous sides (of course they’re out on vinyl) surrounding their ‘Love And Austerity’ LP. Muscle Shoals meets Orange Street and everyone’s a winner. And Dub Vendor veteran D’Oxman at the decks is an amazing bonus as anyone who’s ever caught his tremendous Soho Radio show will know. Dancing shoes required.
