It's going to be a ghoulish night of fun with the incredible
KIDS LOVE LIES headlining, plus the fiendishly brilliant, all-girl
PINKY PIGLETS from Toyko, the excellent HEARTS! ATTACK and the
wonderful go-go dancing ACTIONETTES. Expect a dark mass of bone
rattling DJs onboard, plus videos and more.
LIVE ONSTAGE:
KIDS LOVE LIES
They've already stormed this year's Radio 1's Big Weekend and The Great
Escape festivals, notched up airplay on BBC 6 and BBC Radio 1's Zane
Lowe, Nick Grimshaw, and Steve Lamacq shows, and have just got
Artrocker's Single Of The Month award!
Sounding like a brilliant clash of Bow Wow Wow, Kate Nash and the Yeah
Yeah Yeahs, the band mix relentless, frenetic guitars and crashing
percussion with riot grrrl attitude. We love them!
"fine power pop packed full of clever lyrics and hooks - surely ones to watch."
The Times
"Absolutely brilliant"
BBC6 Music
"I blooming loved it! 10/10 "
Maps Magazine
"...rush of Fight Like Apes/Pretty Girls Make Graves-style post-hardcore sweetness"
NME

PINKY PIGLETS
Bright, colourful, spangly all-girl pop straight out of Tokyo, Japan!
If you love enthusiastic, big indie-pop choruses, hammered out with
real gusto, you'll love this band!
HEARTS! ATTACK
A raw blend of raucous bedroom lo-fi guitar pop from Boston USA, like
having The Raincoats and early Sonic Youth jamming in your bedroom.
"DIY mentalists making a hideously amateur noise, which somehow wins you over" - Artrocker Magazine
"a cracking piece of lo-fi jangle pop...genuinely excited by this guys" Single of the week - The Music Fix
"hugely infectious tunes break free from the skittering mess" - Song by Toad
"very rough and jangly, but with a fantastic energy and some great tunes" - Eardrums
THE ACTIONETTES
A ballroom blitzkrieg of shimmying, sparkling, synchronised routines
from this all-girl dance troupe, kicking their shiny white boots to 60s
girl group classics, serving up a special spooky Halloween twist. As
seen on Charlie Brooker's TV show and BBC2's Culture Show, these stars
of Ladyfest 2008 are not to be missed!
"With each shake of the hips, the smiles get wider..."
The Independent
PLUS:
MULTIMEDIA
Original photos, old footage, pop 45 sleeves, and more.
PLUS A SPINNING PLATTER OF DJS!
We'll also have a full crew of hard-drinking Offline regulars throwing down a top selection of tunes including:
EDITOR (urban75)
An ale-fuelled onslaught of ska, punk, rock'n'roll, big band,
rockabilly, Mrs Mills & Liberace in a floor stomping package
proving that drinking'n'DJing can be a perilous trade.
NIPSLA (Falling over studios)Packing more pop than
a Rice Krispies factory, Nipsla's DJ bag is a veritable jumble sale of
joy, overflowing with indie, dance, electro and party tunes.
LANG & LOPEZ (The Actionettes)
A veritable platter splatter of 50s, 60s, Motown and more vital tunes from the
Actionettes' very own Glamour Queens of Vintage Vinyl.
BOBBY BAUHAUS (charcoal soul)
More mysterious than Robert Smith's eyeliner bag, Bobby gets
dancefloors rocking with quirky, darkside indie-pop and kohl-smudging
breakbeats. He's going to be in his element tonight too.
