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,...

Folkestone Songwriters Festival Presents The Singing Loins +Railcard

20th Century Speedway · Folkestone

Celebrating Folkestone Songwriting Festival's 10th Year anniversary we are so pleased to be bringing Medways most exciting live acts and masters in how to tell a good and mostly dark tale about their hometown of Chatham and have a good time, The Singing Loins. Chris Broderick & Chris (Arfur) Allen started The Loins as a raw, stripped down acoustic duo in 1990 and soon had Medway legend Billy Childish in their corner. He recorded their first two albums live in his bathroom onto a mono Revox tape machine and released them on his Hangman label. These savage rarities are now swapping hands for big dollars on EBay and are often quoted as major influences by young purveyors of punk/folk. After a couple more self-released albums and a great album with Billy Childish called At The Bridge they split in 1999. After a six-year lay-off they shook hands and returned in 2005 with a triumphant comeback album, Songs To Hear Before You Die, and a year later were joined by Rob Shepherd, who played junk shop banjo and mandolin on their 2007 album, The Drowned Man Resuscitator. The group then went from strength to strength with full blown sell out tours of Eastern Europe, Germany & France, plenty of A...
