CTRL (Formerly Transmission Control) are an homage, rather than a tribute band, channeling the urgent, chaotic, inspired, short journey that Joy Division took us all on, taking care to present authentic versions of the original songs. For the connoisseur CTRL often include musical and lyrical variations that were either performed, written or recorded. It’s a testament to their history that New Order now fill out stadiums, but CTRL offer the street level experience of Joy Division back in the day. And with the Bugbearradio show content (see below)in mind click on the logo above to find what may well be The Greatest Rock/Pop TV Clip EVER….Joy Division performing Transmission live on BBC2’s ‘Something Else’ in September 1979. Other worldly. Also playing tonite, Acme Sewage Co, with a lineage all the way back to 1976, super cool , super rocking filthy punk. And Karkosa- Brum based indie rockers, featuring driving tunes bristling with energy and actual choruses!
Punk’s Payday Karaoke
Help your digits to a clicky denouement on the DPRK image just there and hear Bugbear and Andy Dukey Duke on Soho Radio discussing all things democratically punkish, rocking and empty of orchestra amidst some spiffing platters. Woss He On About? This… Eagerly anticipated as it is, our Payday Punk Rock And New Wave Karaoke kicks off in it’s monthly fourth Friday of the month regular Dublin Castle slot on Friday 27th April. Featuring our bespoke punk and indie covers crack team The DPRK- AKA Democratic Punk Rock Karaoke- and their mahoosive book of fabulous songs that you can perform live on stage in London’s most iconic venue. A pro celebrity panel will judge the best performers of the night, perhaps with a nail biting play off element just like in all them shows on TV, only this show ain’t shit Sherlock. Hell, there’ll be a goodie bag and a shed load of kool Kamden kudos for the victor. Plus a free drink for every paying punter entering the on stage fray. Featuring special guest turns and DJ Fuzz at the musical controls to keep the party going til the wee wee hours, this will be your monthly must attend event in Camden Town and certainly the only one where you can unleash your inner Johnny, Debbie, Joey or Joe. You are a fucking star, see you at the fucking bar.
