Kenny Young & the Eggplants

The Bullingdon · Oxford

New York's most entertaining indie band, Kenny Young & the Eggplants make a welcome (but long overdue) return to Oxford - and just in time for their favourite holiday - Halloween! Fresh from 3 nights supporting Tom Robinson in London, they are in the UK to promote the Premiere of their new documentary film. "Before It Was Cool: The Brooklyn Beat from Lauterbach's" features The Eggplants and several other bands from the now-legendary Brooklyn indie scene. So expect a night like no other! Kenny Young will tickle your brain with another selection of his thoughtful, surreal (and annoyingly catchy) songs, while The Eggplants spread their unique brand of physical chaos around him. Here's a few sample tracks about New York life, pizzas, and cyclists that might find a peculiar resonance with an Oxford audience! Eddie's Apartment My Dinner with Elvis Psychopath on the Cycle Path

Love Music Hate Racism presents Electronic Against Hate

The Bullingdon · Oxford

Oxford's Love Music Hate Racism returns to The Bullingdon's main room after their sold out shows last year for this special Electronic Against Hate lineup that features two of the most exciting and provocative female electronic artists based in the UK. Anglo-French avant garde electronic artist Julia-Sophie headlines the main room at The Bullingdon. Her debut album 'forgive too slow' combines traditional songwriting roots with experimental electronica — intimate vocals backed by warm analogue synths and precise drum machines. Influences range from New Wave to folk confessional to house to avant-garde 80s pop. The songs narrate a story of self-destruction, love, and loss. By the end, embers are still burning — but there is a sense of getting closer to something authentic. This promises to be a treat for Oxford music fans already aware of her talent and a joy for those who have not yet had the chance to catch her live show. Esoteric electronic artist Maria Uzor will be performing tracks from her brand new album, 'Fantasyland' and bringing her restless energy to the stage. Her music lands like a pirate broadcast from a distant corner of the galaxy. Inspired by both dark and light,...

DJ Nights: Mi-Soul Radio Christmas

Boisdale of Canary Wharf · London

Dinner & Table Reservations from 5pm. DJs from 7pm-2am Boisdale has Jools Holland as Patron of Music, a live programme that runs seven nights a week and a NEXO sound system installed because the music demands it. Mi-Soul Radio has Gordon Mac MBE, Kiss FM in its DNA and thirty years of soul, house and R&B running through everything it does. On Friday nights the two come together on the first floor and the result is exactly what you would hope for. The selectors rotate through the Mi-Soul roster each week, which keeps the sets fresh without ever dropping the standard. Deep soulful house one Friday, classic R&B the next, but always played by someone who has a genuine relationship with the music rather than a playlist and a laptop. Start on the heated terrace with a cocktail overlooking Cabot Square, move inside when the night builds and let the sound system do the rest. First Floor Bar & Heated Garden Terrace Nestled in Cabot Square and overlooking the fountain with the Canary Wharf skyline beyond, the first floor bar and heated garden terrace is a destination in its own right. Fine wines, premium spirits and expertly crafted cocktails, with a selection that covers everything from rar...
