A bi-monthly concert on a Sunday evening. Starting the 8th March. A minute from Temple tube. A club on a boat on the Thames. Promoted by Tursa and Kaparte. An easy to get to Central London location. An early start so you can sip your drinks on deck and watch the corpses of failed buy- to- let entrepreneurs float by. The Music will end in good time, so there will be no mad rush for the last train. You will be back in time for your Coco. Whats not to like?
Tony Wakeford
The Ship Of Fools debut is Tony Wakeford assisted by Renee Rosen of Sol Invictus and Guy Harries and M from Orchestra Noir. Join them as they take a stumble through Mr Happy's back catalog. Expect also some new songs from the forthcoming Sol Invictus album out on Prophecy later this year and maybe a guest or two as a contrast to that silky voice and gay banter. WARNING: Concert will include graphic scenes of sitting and cravat wearing. Tickets now available :
Sieben – As They Should Sound
As They Should Sound could have no better recommendation than the following: This album sounds like Matt Howden's live Sieben show. This is a polished and high definition studio album, but it retains the raw power and energy that Sieben live shows are famous for. Twelve of the best Sieben songs, those honed and refined through playing live across Europe and beyond. As They Should Sound is the culmination of Matt Howden's Sieben releases so far, by a country mile. As They Should Sound is released Monday 2nd March 2009, on Redroom Records. See matthowden.com for details.

NAEVUS
Naevus was formed in London in 1998 by Lloyd James and Joanne Owen. With their first two albums (Truffles of Love in 1999 and Soil in 2001), Naevus found themselves welcomed into the heart of the burgeoning post-industrial scene, while their third album, Behaviour (2002), marked a turning point in the band’s sound and paved the way for the classic albums which followed it (2004’s Perfection is a Process and 2007’s Silent Life). The group’s most recent album, Relatively Close to the Sea, was released by Hau Ruck! In 2008. The group’s sound has been described as “the Wire of the dark folk scene” and “what Swans would sound like if they were English”, but there is much more to the group than this; their distinctive lyrics and modernist approach set Naevus clearly apart from their contemporaries.
