November’s RoG had the floor shaking when John Hassall’s (The Libertines) Yeti rocked the stage, followed by The Rakes spinning a jump-up mix of rock, electro and 80s kitsch favourites. Check out the photos on the RoG Facebook page here or on Myspace.
ROUND OUR GAFF #3 is on Saturday February 16th. Arrive early cos last time the place was full up before 9pm!
The lineup is thus:
DEAD KIDS (live)
www.myspace.com/youaredeadkids
We were advised to hide all the breakables when we booked this apocalyptic London four-piece. They literally kill it live. They’re being tipped by all the cooler media, but Drowned in Sound probably nabbed it best when they described the Dead Kids experience as “PiL fronted by Bad Brains legendry HR, or Suicide minus the white-boy rigidity… a panic attack of sound, a squall of feedback, a slow tightening of a fist around the throat.” You have been warned.
TITS OF DEATH (live)
www.myspace.com/titsofdeath
All-girl glamrock enthusiasts described by Time Out as “The Shangri-Las meets Slayer” crank the amps to earsplitting proportions for juddering synth-punk tunes with inspired titles such as “Iron Nipples” and “This is a Bust”.
FRIENDLY FIRES (DJ set)
www.myspace.com/friendlyfires
After the live carnage, FF take time out from the Vice tour and take to the RoG decks to provide a post-punk soundtrack until chucking-out time.
