I, LUDICROUS

Event information

New music webzine SoundsXP.com brings a ferocious bunch of bands to The Windmill, watch out for their vicious tongues!

I, LUDICROUS
I, Ludicrous is a two piece popular music ensemble formed in London in 1986 by John Procter and Will Hung. A homemade 4 track cassette somehow found its way into the mits of Mark E Smith who - without telling them - promptly booked them to support The Fall at a top London venue. The band achieved immortality the following year when their seminal release 'Preposterous Tales' reached the dizzy heights of number 11 in John Peel's Festive 50.
In February of this year they released a marvellous 5 track EP; on that EP was a song called The Ruby Wax Song. Ruby Wax heard this song and made this exclamation on her blog: 'I can't believe that my whole life has been summed up in a song!!'
Their best-of entitled '20 Years In Show Business' is out now on Sanctuary Recordings.

TITS OF DEATH
Tits of Death is a ten-breasted rock machine with sky scraper heels. Think Russ Meyer Vs The Terminator.
'It's not every day you see a band that sends you home with ringing ears at 1am to thrash at Marc Bolan numbers on your unplugged Strat, feeling every bit the Iggy Pop rock monster ya just know ya are on the inside. Hell, it's not every band that have the capacity to bring out that part of you that wants to throw on an evening gown and join them onstage to spit fire through a rendition of teenage kicks.' - Harmony Central
'The Shangri Las meets Slayer' – Time Out

SHIMMY RIVERS AND AND CANAL
Shimmy Rivers and and Canal have been making Londoner's pulses racing faster and faster every time they play. Their bassist dresses like a bear and they produce more energy than a breakers yard on fire.
Their last single on White Heat was single of the month in Plan B.
