BABAR LUCK + DJs Parkbench & Sceptic
Babar Luck is a legendary figure on the UK ska/punk scene and his solo acoustic shows are truly special. An intriguing fusion of acoustic reggae sensibilities and inner-city angst come together in an often hilarious, impassioned, loving, and original style. There is no way of describing Babar Luck except to say that he is one of the most entertaining and deep acoustic acts in London. Imagine Joe strummer crossed with Bob Marley and Roots Manuva; or Nina Simone sweetened with Curtis Mayfield and yet frantic like Chuck D on "It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back.". A true "londonstaanee with a worldstate of mind". British / Asian Gansta Folk? Yes indeed.
"I feel like a rabbit caught in the headlights of Babar Luck."

MARZIPAN SHEEP
A one off night with FIVE bands from across the UK making a collective punch in the side of the scene here in the Big Smoke…
Tonight's headline grunters and growlers come in the guise of THE BIKINIS who are not too cool and they don't think they are better than The Beatles. These are the kids who wake up everyday humming sonic's tunes; the ones queing at 8am to get this weeks' 7" editions, the first on the dance floor and the last to fuck off home. Don't be scared, get the hell involved.
Also we have RATTY RAT RAT. In the end its Ratty Rat Rat's indisputibly catchy tunes and slur-friendly charisma that win over audiences. "We just want to get up and play music that we're completely confident about."
THE LOST CITY RAMBLERS are from Cheshire. LCR recorded there first album last summer with Ding Archer (The Fall, PJ Harvey, Frank Black) and one reviewer said LCR couldn't be pigeon holed however I think Jodie (lead singer) put it better when she said "LCR are addictive, junk fuelled, the Gemini of Rock n Roll bands; half of it's a make believe show, the other half the true face of a young man blues."
The support tonight comes from THE AMBERBLACKS from Colchester. The Amberblacks are more crisp than a winter's morn when Jack Frost has been in town. Sloppy but smooth, chaotic but controlled, loud but melodic.
And to top this off we have the brilliant KURT COODER. Kurt Cooder is one man. He has sailed many seas, travelled many roads and worked with/supported many legends, and vows to continue treading the stages of the world with keen feet and a story to tell. Kurt Cooder's first novel, 'THE POLITICS OF WALKING' is due to be completed at the end of summer 07. As a solo artist he has so far supported Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke from 'THE SMITHS' and punk legend Ed Tudor Pole. As a member of previous bands he has supported Shaun Ryder, The Farm and Biffy Clyro.
Admission is free so get your rear here… no excuses!
