ARTFUL 006

ANGRY CANDY @ CORSICA STUDIOS: 8:00pm - 2:00am, £5 Entry
THURSDAY 19TH OCTOBER

As part of the Artful Festival, on Thursday 19th October contemporary Rock and Art collide at Corsica Studios, Elephant & Castle. In aid of the charity 'Shelter', 3 rooms will be filled with some of the best up and coming bands, DJ's and Art exhibited by students from London's most prestigious Art College's.

Bands featured:

The Bridge Gang http://www.myspace.com/thebridgegang

"A truly visceral blend of Pixies-meets-Nirvana angst rock, tempered with the contemporary flourishes of The Strokes and the underlying pop sensibility of a Blondie or Jonathon Richman" (Soundsxp)

Forms Forms Forms http://www.myspace.com/formsformsforms

"It's a rather refreshing sight to see a London band more interested in creating hooks and memorable tunes than fitting into a scene and inhabiting a corner of the NME. With this set of priorities and a cool indie ethos, they sound like a more memorable version of fellow Londoners The Rakes, all fast-paced rhythms and jerky riffs." (God Is In The Tv)

4 or 5 Magicians http://www.myspace.com/4or5magicians

"The songs of Guided By Voices + the awkwardness of Pavement + the twisted vision of The Flaming Lips + the pop tones of Weezer + the coolness of The Pixies + the audacity of Mclusky + the naivety of a young Ben Lee + the endearing inepitude of The Libertines + the dress sense of Kajagoogoo = four kids attempting to be somewhere near as good as Nirvana." (The band themselves)

Special Benny http://www.myspace.com/specialbenny

"Special Benny have their own line in sweeping instrumental lushness. Though still filled with astute shoe gazing radiance (think early Ride guitars mixed with Sigur Ros ambience). Special Benny unseat you with a bouncing jaunt into realms of jazzy weirdness that are surprisingly melodic and down right danceable!" (2bob)

And we're excited to announce that the amazing Trash Money will be DJ-ing through till 2:00am.

Hey Liam, it loooks good, we were thinking of donating money from the comp to Shelter. The compo is off for pressing today!!By the way feel free to add this as news on the main GIITTV site, and ill add it to the calender.

Some more news of guest DJ's to come on Monday too

I'm well pleased with the band line up we've got and I'm sure all the art stuff is going to be great - even though I don't get all that Modern Art business.

When is the comp ready for release ? can we sell copies at the show next weeK?

No it won't be ready for then sadly but soon...more details coming, Shouldn't be a long turn around.

I'm sure we'll be able to sell them at various events throughout Artful - including this one.

We're planning a launch night in Oct too just looking for a decent venue.
