Yacht Rock Party 06/07/09
What you sayin blaad?
A massive thanks for everyone who made it down to 93 Ft East last Monday to help celebrate the release of £10 Bag on itunes. I hope you all enjoyed the fine array of live music on show and the finest in yacht rock and 80s pop from our amazing DJs The Dallas Guild and Alex Morris.
I've got some excellent photos of the night courtesy of a very talented photographer called Ian Bines. Please check his shizzle out here.
Fiest up we had a few acoustic numbers from the delightful Aloosh who reminded me of late Talk Talk in places. Haunting and jazzy. Very nice. Apparently Aloosh is a Polish word for that grey/white fluff that gathers in your navel or something like that. Here's a picture of Jodie from the band...
Next up was a singer songwriter who had been highly recommended to me. Her name is Leila Adu and she's a Kiwi via Rome. Her music is very unique indeed and you'll have to go check out her myspace page as I can't really describe it properly. A bit blues, a bit performance art. She started the set singing from right at the back of the room which was funny. I could see that 'Oh here we go, another crack-head from the East End has wondered in off the street' look on a few people's faces but they soon got it...
Next up was some joker who dressed like he was sailing the Amalfi coast in some sort of 80s nightmare...
His band were good though and the cover of 'Don't Stop Believing' by Journey seemed to raise a smile-especially judging by backing singer Joanna's reaction here..
Next up were The Laurel Collective who never fail to fizz with energy and their melodic, twisting pop always makes me sit up and take notice. Their Keyboard player Mr Rainbow throws some great shapes too!...
Last, and arriving late as ever (but we'll forgive her as she was rehearsing with Kanyne West) was the brilliant Joy Joseph who once again had us skanking in the isles to her sunny blend of ska-tinged calypso. A great way to end the night...
Thanks to all those who gave up their time to play and all of you lovely people who made the effort to come along and support all the acts, it's appreciated. Now you can go and buy £10 Bag for all these free gigs I've given you! SEE BLOG BELOW FOR DETAILS!!!
Rescue Cat's next gig is at The Social on the 23rd July for Club Ugly. The night is free and it all kicks off at 8pm. We should be on nice and early.
CAT FACT NUMBER 14:
When a cat drinks, its tongue - which has tiny barbs on it - scoops the liquid up backwards!
In a bit yeah?..
