Event information
Here comes the mid-May Des Was a Bowie Fan at Jamboree, indiepop, new wave, post-punk, 60s soul and rock\'n\'roll dancing with post-punk feminist author Helen McCookerybook celebrating a new joint single with Bristol\'s The Charlie Tipper Conspiracy, a cover of The Velvet Underground\'s \'Femme Fatal\'.
Helen was a John Peel favourite through the \'80s and \'90s, singing and playing bass in Brighton outsider indiepop/punk bands Jody and the Hooligans, The Smartees and The Chefs before forming her own sumptuous, country-inflected Helen and the Horns. She has more recently helped write women back into the official history of punk with her book \'The Lost Women Of Rock: Female Musicians Of The Punk Era\', including interviews with The Mo-dettes, The Slits and Dolly Mixture. Helen\'s songs are beacons of outside of everything lyricism, and her set shall consist of new songs and classics.
The Charlie Tipper Conspiracy are a sweet-shuffling indiepop band with a roaring jangle and skewering keys and horns, creating their own cuttingly romantic, melancholy sound in the vein of the June Brides. They formed in 2013 as The Charlie Tipper Experiment, releasing an album and accompanying singles, including the ace ‘Ride Out’, via Breaking Down Recordings. A further two EPs full of the sweet stuff and the new single with Helen followed as part of the new Conspiracy. All proceeds from the sale of ‘Femme Fatal’ (linked to above) go to Refugee Aid.
