Event information

ROCK Against WAR

This is the very first Rock Against War show and stars:
FU
http://www.damnably.com/former-utopia/
Think post punk, alt folk, slowcore and pop combined. Think Joy Division. Karate, Shellac, Codeine and (smog) all rolled into one arty three piece.
As Heard On:
BBC 6music/Resonance FM
Recent Press
Time Out London 'ramshackle, yet melodic Alt. Folk'
The Line Of Best Fit 'a gentleman blessed with an imposing baritone halfway between Bill Callahan and Absentee'
The Line Of Best Fit - intimate and charming'


Hot Silk Purse
New band!!!! so new they have no website or PR but its the Guitarist/singer and Bassist/mask wearer from Screaming Tea Party in a new band together playing a similar sort of loud post punkt poppy noise rock.

No Cars
http://www.myspace.com/nocars
Japanese comedy/GaragePOProck Trio whose shows are very funny and very different to the normal grumpy moody bands you usually see.
"we're happy to encourage the new Queens of Cute" Artrocker

Fever Dream
http://www.myspace.com/fever.dream
formed in London at the end of 2010, and played their first gig at a Christmas party which featured a cardboard cutout of Larry David.
Their moniker is based on a short story by sci-fi author Ray Bradbury, and their sound is a sparse mixture of post-punk and shoegaze.

Artrocker: 'deceptively deadpan songs often mutate into noisy but controlled thrashing. (Cockpit) is a particularly fine tune.'
Ally Gourlay (Leith FM): 'smallgang are brilliant'
The Line Of Best Fit: 'Great record'
Time Out: 'Stylish art rockers '

ROCK Against WAR

The UK is currently fighting waging two Wars it does not need to.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are not to prevent terrorism or to help the people in these countries.
These wars were instigated for the purposes of oil-extraction and to profit from the manufacture and use/sale of Weapons and equipments used in WAR paid for by Tax-payers in the UK and US.
The cost of this is immense.
Taxpayers are funding these wars and we are seeing large cuts in education, Libraries, Social Services and the NHS as a result.

ROCK against WAR says no to WAR, no to TAXES funding murder and profiteering Arms Companies and No to cuts in the very foundations of what makes our nation civilised and worth fighting for in the first place.

CND/Brixton Windmill/Damnably together with hopefully more promoters and protest groups want to highlight these Wars are not necessary. The Cuts are not necessary. Simply
No WAR=No CUTs.

RAW will see amazing bands doing Cheap entry gigs (free entry to Students (with ID)), info and Stall from CND and all takings split with CND and bands.
