Rockfeedback is tickled right pink to announce the first two acts on the bill for its fourth instalment in the already infamous Club Rockfeedback series.
BEACH HOUSE: From the constant plaudits awarded them by press the world over (including ourselves), you might well be familiar with Baltimore duo and their shimmering, arresting dream-pop. Over three years and two albums released via the rightly revered Bella Union imprint, Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally have induced a not inconsiderable amount of swooning in audiences around the planet, and this special, intimate one off date at the end of a sell out tour with label mates Fleet Foxes will, certainly, have the same effect on what will be a transfixed Cross Kings. www.myspace.com/beachhousemusic
WILD BEASTS: Newly signed to Domino records, Wild Beasts are making some of the most chaotic, operatic and thrillingly ramshackle rock and roll to ever emerge from the Lake District. Or anywhere else. About to hit the road with Pavement fella Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, they’ll be bringing their Talking Heads meets The Sundays brand of falsetto ridden wrong pop to the Cross Kings for a rare London date, not to be missed. www.myspace.com/wildbeasts
More SPECIAL GUESTS and DJs are to be added to the bill over the coming hours and days, though as ever, the Rockfeedback regulars will be spinning between bands a mix of alt-rock chin-strokers and the greatest hits of Prince, Bruce Springsteen and the Fine Young Cannibals.
For those who haven’t visited yet, the venue is the marvellous CROSS KINGS, located on 126 York Way, Kings Cross, London, N1 0AX. A weird, wonderful and totally unique space spread over two floors – a fairy lit upstairs with curious wall hangings and its own mini-library, and a downstairs decked out like a comic book depiction of hell – it’s our favourite new venue in London by a distance so considerable it stretches beyond the M25.
Dates, times… Friday 13th of June (don’t be scared!), 8pm – 2am.
Tickets cost a mere £7.00 in advance (a couple of quid more on the door if there are any left, so getting them beforehand makes all the sense) from wegottickets HERE.
There’s no dress code, but we recommend glad rags, given that the evening is being filmed for future use on Rockfeedback TV.
