Doors 7pm / ENTRY IS £5 (£3 for students / concessions / flyers)
Goldsmiths S.U., Dixon Road, New Cross, London SE14 (NX/NX Gate tube/rail/LOADS of buses - zone 2).

THE SHAKES : Catchy chorused pop with the swagger of Jagger. The buzz on The Shakes is largely due to their live show. Witnesses report "Shakes fans know every word to every song, they sing at the top of their lungs and are up dancing like no-ones watching from the very first note." The single, Liberty Jones (recently No.1 in the podcast charts) is out this month via Tough Cookie, this show is a celebration on home turf. http://www.myspace.com/theshakesmyspace + http://www.theshakesmusic.com

THE TOTAL DROP
"New Cross Art Pop to D.I.Y. for"... Recently returned from very well received New York City tour, the energetic joy of The Total Drop is starting, deservedly, to get noticed. "An abundance of catchy hooks and a voice of pure magnetism" (Artrocker magazine) "Each tune sounds like a potential single" (Maps magazine) http://www.thetotaldrop.co.uk/

SUBLIMINAL GIRLS
"I'm considering a night on myspace / Now I'm considering a move to New Cross" Electro-rock punkers with wit and energy make that move, for the nght! Ex/current members of bands including The Art Goblins, Rhesus, Ciccone, Maccaca Mulatta get bored of all current scenes, pool their influences, ...and hey presto! Fug-off lyrics, infectious tunes, and a new favourite live act are born. http://www.subliminalgirls.com/

FORMS FORMS FORMS
New Cross's rising power-popsters with young Rakes comparisons - "It's a rather refreshing sight to see a London band more interested in creating hooks and memorable tunes than fitting into a scene" (God Is In The TV Zine) set to rock the S.U. bar big time... http://www.myspace.com/formsformsforms

+ DJs, SNAKES N LADDERS RECORDS (recently Radio 1's DIY label of the week, this S.E.London/Brighton based label are purveyons of one of their acclaimed compilation) http://www.myspace.com/snakesandladdersrecords -v- SWING RIOT CLUB http://www.myspace.com/swingriotclub

ARTFUL
"a brilliant programme of gigs featuring a stack of brilliant artists" (cmu daily)
