Sweeet. I'm on my way :)

will pop in for a bit, can't stay late as racing the next day

Matts having a bash that night too! You should have a chat and try co-ordinate the band times so people (me) can see all of em. Gonna be a BIIIG night on Overbury road!!

Well...we're on at 9.30 which is well before bands usually start at Matt's; you could probably catch at least the first two bands at ours without missing any action at 17!

Basically, for punters trying to decide between the two parties, both will be full of jolly vibes and sound folks. However, the music at Spatchcock is likely to have a higher WTF factor. There will also be proper hard flatcap finger in th'ear beer on offer (see above).
Let this serve as an encouragement and a warning!

whooo! come one come all

Hullohallo Spatchcock'd brethren -

See you there!!

As always you are most welcome, Sir.

Righto, this'll be the last one before an extended break so we've lined up some extra special derangement.

Bilbao Syndrome
http://www.myspace.com/bilbaosyndrome

-A bunch of award-winning jazz musicians playing face-smashing tech in the vein of Meshuggah and Fantomas. In skintight white jumpsuits and aviators. By eck.

Leverton Fox
http://www.myspace.com/levertonfox

-Some more top-level jazz musicians playing abstract music with constant rhythmic and textural progression. By turns beautiful and frightening.

Glockenspiel
http://www.myspace.com/glockandspiel

-Where shoegaze, drone and post-rock meet free jazz and improv. Immersive, emotive soundscapes.

Nitkowski
http://www.myspace.com/nitkowski

-'Tardcore skronk merchants with interlocking guitar lines, cycling drum patterns and a bit of good old-fashioned shouting.

Afterwards DJ Phurious Phil and Ellis will be serving dollops of dubstep, techno, 2-step, breakcore, whatever.

Cheap bar with real ale, lager, wine, spirits, cider, unicum (?!) etc.

Bike-friendly: secure indoor parking.

BUUUMPP!!

This is tonight....geronroundereyerbastids!

i have never not had fun at manor house gigs :)

So yes, Spatchcock is back. For those that don't know, or haven't been, we put on shows in a warehouse in Manor House, and tonight is the return for my band's album launch.

There's loads of indoor bike storage, and feel free to bring as many peeps as you want if you're coming. It's gonna be a bit ace. Even if you're not bothered about seeing my band, the others are completely feckin ace. G'waaaan!

I'd love to mate, but working :(
Have a good one!

Cheers dude. It's probably gonna get horribly messy. Shit yes.
Hope work doesn't suck too bad!

Yay come down folks. Noise and beer = joy in the heart.

Come dooon like. You can bring your bikes inside and keep them in a locked room.

We are pleased to present a solo set from Charles Hayward, formerly of This Heat and Camberwell Now, plus some other very odd, wonderful bands.

Secure indoor bike parking;
cheap bar including fine ales courtesy of the Milton Brewery, Cambridge;
general encouragement of riotous behaviour.

The first band kicks off round 8.30;
DJs afterwards till 3.

For those of you who are familiar with Nitkowski, this is not a typo: one of us will be away so we're going to do a bit of improv.

Cheers!

nice - his stuff on One Life Stand is lovely.
