PETE AND THE PIRATES / THE ALL NEW ADVENTURES OF US for Club Rockfeedback #7

Event information

After six incredible months under the Club Rockfeedback banner which have seen us bring you the likes of Foals, Black Kids, Metronomy, Four Tet and Wild Beasts of a Friday evening, the night is taking a step up to a larger venue, namely the newly refurbished, swanky as you like-looking Monarch in Camden Town (40-42 Chalk Farm Road to be precise). Still held on the second Friday of every month, we’ll first be furnishing our new home with this fine assortment of revellers:

PETE AND THE PIRATES: Authors of some of the finest British jangle rock since The Libertines when they were all exciting and brilliant, Pete and the Pirates have a knack for proper songwriting such that it recalls bands like The Kinks and Blur rather than the tired billions of acts currently flooding the scene who seem to think they needn’t delve any further back than the aforementioned Libs for inspiration. Take some tips from this lot, lads – this Reading five piece, whose album Little Death was released on Stolen Recordings this February, have been described by NME as “perfect pop without the pretence”, and for once, we wholeheartedly agree with them.

THE ALL NEW ADVENTURES OF US: Recently signed to Bjork’s imprint One Little Indian, The All New Adventures of Us are one of the most joyous explosions of guitars and glockenspiels and, well, all kinds of junk that you’ll catch playing live at the minute. Kindred spirits number the likes of Los Campesinos!, Arcade Fire and Buttonhead – expect a billion people on a stage, all banging some different thing that may or may not be an instrument (who cares, so long as it makes a noise?) and having the time of their young lives.

PLUS: Yet to be announced SPECIAL GUESTS, and DJ sets from the Rockfeedback regulars, TRANSGRESSIVE RECORDS, SEARCH AND DESTROY, and a turn from the harrowingly funky SIEGFRIED SASSOON SOUND SYSTEM (SSSS).

This is an OVER 18s ONLY event.
