One Big WHORE

Long Blondes / Rob Webb Every now and again, a minor revolution on the 'scene' takes place in London and everyone gets excited. White Heat, the Tuesday night club held at Madame JoJo's in Soho is where the current buzz is centred and to celebrate two years of top-notch indie disco and live performances, they're putting on a mother of an all-dayer.

The current line-up is a virtual who's-who of exciting new music and will make for the best eleven-hour drinking session DiS could have fathomed for a long time. So, here goes:

Kaito
The Long Blondes
Vincent Vincent and the Villains
Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies
Trencher
Les Incompetents
Comanechi
International Karate Plus
Tera:Tora
Severed White
[stripped down Snow White]
The Rotters
Blood red Shoes
Tiger Force
Pirhana Deathray
Stupid Club

The Fold

In total there will be 24 bands in three rooms.

The official stat-shimmy follows:

    You mean this thread isn't about Courtney Love?
    • Re: One Big WHORE

      God, went to that club for the first time last Tuesday and found it pretty pretentious to be honest....
      • Re: One Big WHORE

        of course it is! for one thing, it's in London
        • Re: One Big WHORE

          Well, not so sure about that......We're not all like that at all.
          • Re: One Big WHORE

            whats pretentious supposed to mean? its scenester packed, yes, and there seems to be unquantifiable amounts of coke in the collective bloodstream,, but its still one of the best atmosheres for dancing i';ve found at an indie club in london. the floors constantly pretty packed and they play some fucking good classic stuff (playing dead kennedies at an indie night is hhardly pretentious), along side all the most dancable current stuff.
            the rooms a bit claustrophobic though.
            am pretty damn pissed i cant make this.

              Well, each to their own I guess. Just found it a bit too cool for school unfriendly.
              • Re: One Big WHORE

                I see your point. There are lots of tossers there, but the guy who runs it is probably the least pretentious man on the planet by all accounts. Plus the bands are usually pretty top-notch.
                • Re: One Big WHORE

                  Yeah, the fact they get good bands on winds me up because I really hate going there ;)

                  Still, I imagine it'll be slightly less full of tossers now that most of the student population has fucked off home for the summer..
            • Re: One Big WHORE

              and they play anything from Sonic Youth to new bands like Vincent Vincent and the Villians and Les Incompetents.
              I really like it.
              And I dont know anyone there that does coke nor have noticed it.
              There was however last week Suicide Girls doing shots for Bizarre magazine which was a little odd.
    • Re: One Big WHORE

      Psche, I was thinking the exact same thing when i saw the title in the News menu- courtney love.
  • One Big WHORE

    YMSS - yes.
  • One Big WHORE

    Michael is in France.

  • One Big WHORE

  • One Big WHORE

    11 hour drinking session on a tuesday?

    you cunts.

    i'm off to see hooker's green no. 1 instead...
    • Re: One Big WHORE

      It's a Saturday. Well read.
      • Re: One Big WHORE

        i didn't get that far.
  • One Big WHORE

    i thought vincent vincent and the villains broke up?
  • One Big WHORE

    there's new "Villians" apparently.

    " Severed White [stripped down Snow White] "
    what does this mean?

    xMx

    • Re: One Big WHORE

      Snow White are a band...i take it not all of the members can make it...hence Severed White?
    • Re: One Big WHORE

      They play acoustic sets under odd names occasionally, I imagine it's one of those.
  • One Big WHORE

    It means that's it's not the full repersentation of Snow White, of course. When does this start, timewise?
  • One Big WHORE

    mmm...YouthMovie...
    • Re: One Big WHORE

      Why can't Snow White just play?

      Hmm, on second thoughts nevermind, I looked on their site and they are at Barden's Boudoir like.....tomorrow (the 20th), whatever the feck that is. Argh it mentions nothing about tickets or anything. Argh.
      • Re: One Big WHORE

        Bardens is in Stoke Newington.
        • Re: One Big WHORE

          Well, it's in Dalston, really...
          *runs from argument over where Stoke Newington ends and Dalston starts*
  • One Big WHORE

    The Rotters are flippin' ace!
  • One Big WHORE

    what time's it start/end?

    i'm elsewhere on the 6th, but not for eleven hours, i'm sure. a bit of indie flitting will be in order.
    • Re: One Big WHORE

      2pm - 3am I believe.
  • One Big WHORE

    Can you get tickets in advance anywhere?
