YE NUNS You know the score! Multiple instrument/mic wielding beings who aren't men make a row! They make a glorious / spectacular/ spectacle of themselves. They do sprangs (of course!) and uber-kssshhhh fuzzzzzzz screeeeches and also peep peep here comes pepe le pew organ and tom-heavy relentless drum pounding beat-ddraggggging purgatorial endless rhythmic switcheroonies. and of course the banjo is like having your head dragged over a cheese grater (in a loving way) and the bass? WELL my friend that is a bass that drags you by the hair places you nosedown in an overdriven bassy speaker and lets you fall in the bass-i-verse Also multi-vocals chants / howls / screams and more. What the hell does that sound like? Check out some old vids and you tell me. Support from UNMARRY ME and a robot says... Unmarry Me is an underground post-punk / art-rock band featuring members associated with groups like Help She Can't Swim, Huggy Bear, Comet Gain, and Adulkt Life (including Lise Frances). I SAY they are like a fragile Midnight Cowboy / Taxi Driver mood of a band - like a broken Soft Cell. The only thing I can think of that sound like them at ALL is when Angel Corpus Christi covered the Taxi D...

PROXY MUSIC + The Pink Diamond Revue + Nick Carlisle

The Lexington · London

After a fifteen year hiatus, Proxy Music are back with their conceptual art-rock schtick - a little more jaded and creaky but sounding all the better for it, and still absolutely immersed in decadent retrofuturist 1973 glamour. Thogdin Ripley: Bryan Ferry Heidi Heelz: bass and vox Charley Fucking Stone: guitar Nick Carlisle: synth wizard Oliver Whawell: sax and oboe Percy Mackay: drums and original Roxy Music DNA Is it an art project? Is it a tribute band? Who cares! It's the most fun any self-respecting Roxy afficionado can have with their clothes on... Support comes from THE PINK DIAMOND REVUE “ Trying to describe them is like trying to explain a dream after three days without sleep, somewhere between 1950s rock ’n’ roll, acid house, synth‑punk, and some late‑night broadcast from a different dimension. They’ve built a sound that’s totally their own, even if nobody can agree what planet it came from. Imagine vintage blues smashing into relentless electronic grooves, fuzz‑drenched guitars welded to metronomic beats, a fever dream where the future dances with the past and nobody remembers who started the music. And then there’s the stage show, Tim Lane prowling lik...

Resident Punk UK Launch Party

The Lexington · London

About the book. Time-travel to the punk scene of 1970s New York and beyond—as seen through the eyes of its chief reporter known as “the original punk” who gave the movement its name. Part memoir and part cultural history, Resident Punk offers a no-holds-barred expose chronicling the iconic and unforgettable music scene that would become defined by bands like the Ramones, Blondie, Television, the Heartbreakers, and Talking Heads. In 1975 at just 19 years old, Legs McNeil—alongside John Holmstrom and Ged Dunn—cofounded PUNK magazine. In doing so, they inadvertently chronicled the start of a movement. McNeil’s role in the whole thing? To be their resident punk, embodying the zeitgeist the magazine was looking to capture, often by getting f*cked up with musicians, artists, writers, and hangers-on . . . and sleeping with a different girl every day of the week. Now, just in time for the 50th anniversary of PUNK magazine, Legs tells the stories behind the stories in a sleazy, star-studded adventure. The coauthor of Please Kill Me, Legs invites readers along for the ride as he tussles with musicians and artists, groupies and writers, Golden Age Hollywood film stars and legendar...
