CHARLIE PARR

THEE INTOLERABLE KIDD

TREVOR MOSS AND HANNAH LOU

THE FOX AND THE BRAMBLE

Monday 14^th September 2009, 8pm

£4.50 adv/£5 door http://www.wegottickets.com/event/56315

Charlie Parr – www.myspace.com/charlieparrduluth

We welcome the return of Charlie Parr to this intimate London venue. Duluth's finest purveyor of traditional American piedmont style blues. This is the last London show for Charlie in 2009 so make sure you don't miss it...

It's no surprise that he counts among his fans the illustrator R. Crumb and slow-core rockers Low, Charlie's music has an appeal that spans genres, the authentic voice and utter lack of pretence of the music speaks to everyone. Charlie is considered 'one of the most important contemporary protagonists of the American folk tradition' by the Bath International Music Festival, and it's no surprise. These songs are records of the journeys, troubles and experiences of real people. His most recent release, Roustabout (Misplaced Music) is a superb collection of new and traditional songs.
'Charlie Parr has an inseparable affinity with his music, a 100 percent-proof blend of bluegrass, blues and country, with a rock-red seam of rag and stomp.' The Irish Times

It is August, you are all probably on holiday/festival somewhere... hope it was good.

Our next two gigs feature acts performing at three of the finest festivals the UK has.

Firstly, Golden Animals and She Keeps Bees rock out the Wilmington Arms next Friday night. Both US acts, who are over for Summer Sundae and Green Man Festivals.... Secondly, Charlie Parr  will do his final London show of 2009 at Brixton Windmill on Monday 14^th September following his appearance at End of the Road festival (I think its almost sold out, if not, get buying!)...

More information shortly about two October gigs... including International John Peel Day on 10^th October at Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes.

Take care, see you soon, Cheers

MY SAD CAPTAINS

THE OXYGEN PONIES (Brooklyn)

RANDI RUSSO (Brooklyn)

8pm

£4.50adv/£5 door - www.wegottickets.com/event/54041

MY SAD CAPTAINS (London)
With their debut album just released to widespread approval on Stolen Recordings label, this London-based quintet have managed to excite many in the capital with their slacker indie pop, and have already received loads of airplay on Radio 1 and XFM.
MSC produce an american alt-pop sound, touched with country lashes and occasional fiery noise outbursts which has been described as sounding a little like Pavement getting a pop overhaul with violin, melodica, keyboard, glockenspiel and various toys.
‘One of the capital’s best kept secrets’ - The Fly
www.myspace.com/mysadcaptains

THE OXYGEN PONIES (Brooklyn, NY)
..is all about disenchantment, but somehow it remains uplifting. Songwriter Paul Megna's songs are a constant tug-of-war, reaching unexpected crescendos and spiralling down on a tightrope of oblivion, yet they never lose their balance.
Signed to Tummy Touch Records.
For those who like: Red House Painters, Afghan Whigs, Elliott Smith, Lloyd Cole, Arab Strap, Sparklehorse, Talk Talk, Smog etc
www.myspace.com/theoxygenponies

RANDI RUSSO (Brooklyn, NY)
...mixes emotionally drenched indie-rock with psychedelic, punk, art-rock, garage, and folk influences. Her velvety singing style is as equally raw and beautiful as her guitar playing is edgy and unusual. Randi's a southpaw who plays her guitar upside-down and backwards which creates interesting chords and sounds.

Hello there, hope you are mighty fine. We’ve gone from 1 gig to 4 in the space of a week. Featured in this month’s classic episode, Our next Gig, Forthcoming Gigs, Join Let’s go baboon as a volunteer! Our April update and www.letsgobaboon.com website goes live!  

Right, let’s crack on...

Our next gig – 26^th May at the Luminaire:

Charlie Parr is back for his second London show this year. We’ve moved it up to the Luminaire by popular demand and we are thoroughly looking forward to it. He is performing at End of the Road festival this year too, which has a great line-up. We are doing our double headliner thing again and joining Charlie, will be one of England’s finest acts, Nancy Elizabeth. Not only two headliners, but a heartily good support – My Two Toms... These guys really are the funk in a folk kind of way. We put them on back in 06 at the 12 Bar and they went down a storm... Also, DJ-ing will be Honest Jons – who have recently put out a compilation featuring Mr Charlie Parr.... We have just put more tickets on sale due to popular demand. Remember, they’re £6 advance and £8 on the door...

A note on forthcoming gigs:

26^th May – Luminaire – Nancy Elizabeth, Charlie Parr, My Two Toms + DJ Honest Jons - £6 adv, £8 door, 7.30pm

29^th June – Tbc – Kaiser Cartel & more to be confirmed very shortly if we can sort ourselves...

21^st August – The Wilmington Arms – Golden Animals (US), tbc, tbc, tbc - £4 adv, £5 door

25^th October – Brixton Windmill – Lazarus Clamp & more tbc

What happened in April

Let’s go baboon went to the Half Moon, Herne Hill for the first time. The venue is great, staff are very nice and we recommend it (also keep an eye out for record fairs there in future...). We didn’t quite get the crowd we had hoped, primarily due to the fact about 150 people in the pub were watching the footie... aw well. Danny George Wilson was phenomenal as ever, rousing I think is the word to use. We had a welcome return of The Diamond Family Archive who have matured fantastically well and deserve far greater attention than they currently receive. Our showcase was Woodpecker Wooliams who performed her first show in London. It was exceptional, made me think of Bjork & Joanna Newsom but with a twisted traditional British folk element...  Standing in at very short notice for Citizen Helene (get well soon, we’ll have you back shortly!), was Monster Bobby. The work of a fine songsmith indeed who uses his influences (the flawless Disco Inferno) to great effect...

Let’s go baboon website launch

 We’ve finally sorted out our new website... and we’re really quite chuffed with it. Check it out, let us know what you think, feedback and suggestions and thoughts are valued... Indeed, give us a good suggestion on our website, and we’ll give you a compilation CD... Remember: www.letsgobaboon.com.  

Join Let’s go baboon part #1 – volunteer/work experience/intern...
